From their website...

The final additions the Supra underwent were a custom gold shielded intake tube, which aids by insulating the incoming air from the extreme engine bay temperatures; and a custom BL headlight intake, wrapped by Dinocarbon.
Everything has it's purpose. I did tell them he needs some gold Daytons now though LOL!

good thinking but when he's moving, I'm sure the gold shielding isn't gonna do anything at all with as much air that's gonna be displaced at those speeds.

I think it looks kinda badass. Its something not typically what you see on those cars which make it stand out.

A little off subject...but if you like the blue monster, you need to look for the newest one (came out like 3 months ago but hard to find) that is in a blue can but slightly lighter colored and is called "absolutely zero" tastes better and I think it's a little "better" for you. lol

When is everyone going out there? I was thinking about going Friday instead of Saturday. I assume the spectator crowd is a little less on Fridays? I went to the last mile on Saturday and it was insanely crowded.

Yea last time I was there on Saturday it was very packed. Parked all the way at the end but good thing I had a big truck to see over all the trailers.

I think we are still gonna head down early Saturday and hope to get a spot on that hill at the end.

the absolute zero monster is good for sure

as for the supra, very nice and a little out of the box with the intake tube.

cant wait to see what rc's and kelly's car will do against these contenders

We might have been parked by you. Were you in that truck in your avatar? I was in the truck in my sig. I was backed up under my canopy chilling out and drinking beer on the tailgate. I did like being towards the end of the track.

Yea I think we did park next to you. I had a tent behind my truck as well. I am going to try to get a golf cart this year and cruise around cause I didnt get to see many cars cause I sure wasnt walking.
