    They're doing that to put more weight on the rear wheels to try to keep the tires from slipping on the rollers. And no it's not very safe is it.

    This is the best way to do it: http://www.dynapack.com/

    The video did claim 800 hp. It sure seemed like it was over-rev'd.

    It was...the rear shot in the video shows the guy in the driver seat..instead of watching the tach..he's looking at a laptop or something.
    You'll see the bright yellow shift light come on---then 2 seconds later.. KABOOM! lol.
