Default SOM gto at OSW May 9th

Did anyone see the SOM gto at OSW last night? Almost hit the wall twice in a row. I don't know if he is on this forum, but damn he scared the **** out of me. I was like " damn that is a clean *** gto". right before he ran. I can't image how he felt.


All i got to say is those were two nice saves!

A little off topic but I think I seen you in Kissimmee on 192 a couple of weeks ago. I was in the med. quasar blue Z. I must say if it is you, that thang is nasty! Nice ride. Its a shame the popo was at Amscot.

I dont give him props , I dont think he has ever raced before. I dont think I have seen a bigger idiot trying to dragrace ever. Both times he ran he spun the tires off the line and stayed in the throttle as the car was spinning 360's , even as he was totally sideways the back tires were spinning at full throttle both runs. He also ran into the back of another GTO in the stagging lane's.

Yeah I remember me and my friend Brian (Purple Mustang) stopped to fill up after leaving the track. We talked to your dad for awhile , he's really into cars. Your lucky to have a dad thats into cars.

it was brazen, i think i have both runs on video. Now a good save was that little shitbox looking car that almost took the mustang and the wall out after the 1/4 mile mark.

I think that guy had to much tire shine on his tires lol, it looked like he drenched the whole tire in it.

I almost killed one of my friends for telling some ricer that I was a tech at Honda. This kid would not leave me alone while I was there. 2 days post-op from a minor surgery, I just wanted to sit down relax and watch the drags.
