Had some fun racing tonight in Mexico! Video inside! Basically, it's very hard to beat an automatic Supra that stays in boost while I'm shifting. No excuses here. My car ran like it should have and Duy has a very fast car.
For the record, I was on NO BOOST!

Mike we are going to have to grab some Barry's Pizza in a few weeks. I will be working at Beechnut and the Beltway (our new offices are over there). Nick you can come, but I know you work far away.

I guess I should have worded that differently.
2000 LX1 Stock Shortblocks suck. 1998 LX1 Stock Shortblocks can handle more nitrous than what I'm spraying currently.

Just street racing man. There were some fast cars out there and people actually raced instead of just hanging out and taking pics of their cars so they can post up on the net.
