Sanitaire Upright Race!

[eurekaprince]

This is such a funny YouTube Clip! Not sure if this was created by someone here at Vacuumland, but if it was....thank you! Very entertaining!

(nice to know that on low-pile carpet, these Sanitaires are practically self-propelled.....like so many Eurekas of the 60's and 70's)

I know that some royals do that too.

Royals are the fastest vacs I've ever seen!

when I "rebelted" My Sanitaire SC883 and SC9050-If I would have let them go-they would have taken off like that Royal in the second video did-Kirby G vacuums don't drag race as well-the Tech Drive holds them back unless you have the Shampoo or Fluffer head attached.then--HANG ON!!I did have a "Reverse" drag race with a G3 set up as a canister-when I jerked on the hose in a certain way it took off backward-forgot to turn off the Tech Drive-happened many years ago.Was using it in the hall-when it took off banged into the wall on the other end of the hallway!No damage to the wall or vacuum.Both survivied.Reminds me of the belt sander "drag races" in the old high school shop class-a straight track was made in the lumber room with two long straight peices of wood.Then the belt sanders were turned on and locked on----get out of the way-those Porter Cable belt sanders can really go!!Some of the other guys in the class did that when the instructor wasn't around-I used the sanders for more mundane purposes---sanding my project.
