A1GP drag races a Boeing 777

An A1GP race car recently took on a Boeing 777-200ER at the Auckland International Airport and the results were quite even to say the least.
The showdown took place on the runway at Auckland International Airport between Kiwi racer Jonny Reid and Air New Zealand pilot Dave Morgan as a publicity event to promote the A1GP races in Taupo, New Zealand this coming weekend.

Two drag races were staged down the runway:
1. In the first run, the A1GP car had trouble gaining traction off the line in the wet and the 777 won;
2. in the second round the racing slicks gripped onto the tarmac and the car took the checkered wind-stocking ahead of the jet.
