Hi everyone,

It was an amazing day at the track...I ran three 9 second passes out of 5 runs. My first was a 10.04 and simply my shakedown pass (my last I was in the wrong setting).
After my fifth pass I handed my car over to the Master cage builder, who will install a roll cage in my car that can be driven safely on the street.

I will be back at the track in about 2 weeks...

Enjoy!

Please notice the building intensity of our Announcer…

Thank-you - it is. Unfortinately, alot of people at the track attach their ego's to their cars times - so almost no one races me now. I had 5 races and four were solo. It's too bad because I really love the race - especially against top power cars...

No shame in losing , if you're afraid of not winning then you miss the best experience of competition . The fun is in the race , the experience is the spirit of competition . Winning is just Gravy

But You're right , there are too many people that don't understand sportmanship !

Badass!

what track do you run at where you can run excess of 135mph and faster than a 11.50 without a cage? beautiful car btw even if it is automatic

[cschepp]

Wow that is awesome. Those newer gtr's are really starting to grow on me.

And as far as the losing goes, who cares. People have to understand not only that your going out for fun but that rarely will you ever run into a car that has similar hp or times to yours. If someone expects to win every time maybe they should stick to something else. The only time you actually get to see some really awesome racing is when it's bracket racing with specified classes. That's when it gets exciting and can be some of the best racing to watch. For me it doesn't matter how fast the cars run if they are side by side and a good or bad shift or reaction time can determine a race that is what it is about!

I would love to see some more videos, maybe of the car idling though.

Lol.

Cage is going in as we speak. Was warned and now it's in the shop.

I'm wondering how many passes I'll get to run before they make me put a cage in.

I got warned already but that was a few years ago, I'm sure they forgot by now :P

Sweet runs! Car is fast. We'll have to line up sometime
