Let’s get it out of the way: He lost. But it was cute for the cameras, I guess.In last night’s episode of Jay Leno’s Garage on MSNBC, Leno put a C6 Corvette up against 2015 IHRA Jet Dragster World Champion Elaine Larson and a jet dragster on the strip.Is the Corvette C6 any match for the jet dragster?<br />Watch #JayLenosGarage TONIGHT, starting at 9p ET/PT on CNBC!https://t.co/bfTRgRAktw Jay Leno’s Garage (@LenosGarage) July 13, 2016Larsen was up for the challenge: @LenosGarage bringing my A game. #JetLife Elaine Larsen (@ElaineLarsen) July 13, 2016Leno had about a 10-second head start, and he got up to about 100 mph before Larsen even started, but against a “car” that goes 300 mph in a matter of seconds, that’s all kind of irrelevant. The full episode should pop up on his website within the next few days.via [Leno’s Garage]Tags: c6, Drag Racing, IHRA, jay leno
