Default Went to NOPI Today..

I saw 2 Toyota Solaras decked out in full tub and all with big turbos.. One ran a 7.11 at 190mph and the the other 7.13 at 191mph.. These were back to back runs..

I heard they were both at the nopi show here at Va Motorsports Park, about 3-5 weeks ago. Heard one of them ate a motor that weekend too. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> I bet it won't cheap.

The way they moved down the track like it was nothing is what impressed me.. If you saw them parked and looked at their setup you would have never thought they were capable of 190mph passes in 95 degree weather..

Wow, boosted cars running almost the same times as N/A Pro Stock cars... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Just shows to go ya that the only replacement for cubic inches is cubic dollars. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
