Damn, that sucks, but if the car is not repairable, then that means people will say,"Oh, well so and so might have run 2xx but SW would have beat that if the car didnt get fucked up"

So, i hope it is repairable, but probably not.

Hopefully the bench racing can be kept to a minimum and people realize that the outcome could be alot worse.

Chute hung on deployment on SW's car and went off the end. Waiting on confirmation on cars actual condition from the BL camp. I think they are working on it as I type this. I am waiting to hear what Jonah's Lambo though. I honestly think the top dog is going to be the Ford GT or the Lambo honestly.

Supra is ok. Waiting for wind to die down. Just got a text from Zohair.

Does anyone know if speed holes will help a 4wheeler and Side-x-Side... I've got some things to take care of at the Mile and I need max performance out of them. I am applying Speed Wax when I get home...

That sucks about the supra...I was wondering how he lost control but the cute getting hung makes sense...

I hope some people get some good footage of the big contenders...

If this is the ART (From Austin aka Cody's old shop (heard it had been sold)) Viper, it popped the motor a few days ago. Don't have much more information other than it was blown up. If they have put it back together it would have been done in secret.

The Viper is meh looking... Cody's (ART) Camo 91.5mm Ford GT was the most legit looking car at the Mile last October. I literly jizzed in my pants when I saw it... Sooooo sexy!
