LOL I own the black car Steven drives, his car is in the chasis shop it will be amazing when it's done. Gary is a really cool guy it was great getting a chance to race him.

Good thing races aren't decided by how things look to you. Continue with your benchracing.

Wow. Watching these video's is getting me pumped for the season to start. I got about 3-4 weeks before the first events here.

Congrats LMR. Great run, and a great car. The titan car was the first supra in the 7's. I think atleast. Titans biggest competitor in the supra world is sound performance which is a minute from my house. I have to show them this video!

I've know Chris and Larry from SP they were the ones that helped us last few Hi-Flo customers get the rest of our kits from Marko about a year and a half ago. They are some real nice stand up guys!!

To do a best out of 3,i would think some kind of cash bet would have to be in line...
I wouldnt think they would keep beating on there car for ****,and giggles..
I had the guy on the mike to announce, i would take all side bets,but got real quiet...

Steven did lift,car drifted straight towards the center line, then noticed the supra freight training full steam ahead. So he got back in it..
Gotta say im a,and always will be a american muscle fan,BUT that supra is bad ***,and the crew was very cool...
Just wished someone could have gotten brave enough to make some bets.....

good run...looks like the Camaro was dialed in about perfect.

I thought they asked you to run the 91.5MM instead of the 106......

Guess it is one of those 'looks can be deceiving things' as numbers do not lie.

We were going to run the 91.5 IF they let us run in their unlimited class. They didn't, so we just came out to make some exhibition passes. Then Race the winner of the unlimited class. Since we were doing that we weren't going to spend the time it takes to switch turbos.

Quite impressive. Just goes to show that it takes more than just a lot of power and a dyno sheet to get down the quarter quickest. The LMR car just squats and goes. I'm not familiar with either car's setup, but it's obvious that you guys at LMR have the car dialed in. You did a smaller burnout and still had a better launch.

Whatever you're doing, keep doing it.
