This is on several sites now. The car made 1200 HP at the tires, but this is the first video I've seen of it.

That's the one at Car Craft

It belongs to a friend of a friend... I was over talking to this friend of mine and he said he had to go watch his buddy's Model A run the chassis dyno... I didn't get a chance to see it, but I heard it was wild. People running everywhere

...could have ended horribly

The dyno operator had quick feet! He got on the brake just in time. It's a good thing it wasn't the type of dyno that you drive forward onto. On those the front wheels are close to the edge. It would have launched!

Yep, that dude was lucky indeed. Could've been a catastrophe of enormous proportions.

I worked at a chassis dyno facility for years and can tell you the driver of the car saved the car not the dyno operator, it takes a while to get the roller to stop. I bet the car was stopped at the edge of the dyno and the rollers were still rolling to a stop.
