Larry Larson Sets World Record At 2014 Hot Rod Drag Week: Video

Most millennials at least had a friend with a Chevrolet S-10 in high school. One with a four-cylinder, and nothing to write home about. It was an average little work truck, but Larry Larson seems to have found different plans for his S-10.

Larson absolutely smashed the world record for fastest street-legal vehicle at Hot Rod Drag Week 2014. The previous record holder ran the strip in 6.39 seconds, quite a feat in itself. The time was no match for Larson and his S-10, though. He absolutely sprinted down the strip, and checked in at 6.16 seconds even with his chutes deployed towards the end. Larson is now the owner, and operator, of the quickest street-legal vehicle in the world, officially.

He had reportedly been tweaking the vehicle, and working long and hard to perform the run. It certainly shows. Watch the incredible run in the video below.
