The Eddie was yesterday for the first time since 2016:
Always wondered how they did that. Thanks!
I always thought they were big vacuum bags.

That's not a Merlin, it's a Griffin (larger displacement, generally run with counter rotating propellors). That is also a race plane called Precious Metal that used to be owned by the infamous Whittington brothers.
Looks like someone just missed getting their head sliced in half. Not sure that guy was even going to make the runway!

It sure looks to me that if the car had maintained pace this would be a near miss instead of a neat gif.
