Default Houston street racing

No shut down runways, and tube chassis cars here. True street cars.

Thank you. The street that we race on is just over 1/4 long, so the issue is shut down. We've done 1/4 there before but it's sketchy stopping at that spot.

great video! by the looks of it, if it was a 1/4 mile there would have been a couple different outcomes.

The runs that gave dollar amounts were the only money races.

Idk first run vs the 5.0 it sounded like he was undershifting it and when he stayed in it and reved it higher when the 5.0 was passing him he stopped the 5.0s pull. Then the 2nd race you could sort of see the tach and it looked like he was shifting at 6k which makes sense. I don't understand why people do that. Good vid though.
