Default MARIO is not going to the shootout

Mario said on chitown that he gave up on the shootout. Just when I thought we would see a new record holder. NNNNNNNOOOOOOOTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!

It would have been funning seeing a guy make such a bold statement trying to back it up. Oh well.

No that's a shame. I can't go, but was going to enjoy reading the results of his escapades. Man, what a downer!!!

Damn...just when I got $1500 together ready to put up against him, he decides no to come.

I was REALLY looking forward to seeing a REAL LT1 break some records

What the hell!
I thought he had the fastest Nitrous powered LT1 and he'd run anyone for a few hundred bucks.... Whats wrong man....Did someone call your bluff?
Please tell us why your not going! I hope it was due to a broke car or something and not a bruised ego.....

Well now he says he is coming but I'm not holding my breath. I don't really want to get a thread going like the last one but I'm sure are cars will meet somewhere this summer.

He'll either break the record or break his motor.

It's gonna be a 4-link car with a big tire and a huge shot...It should move out.

The record is for a stock suspension car. So if its a four lik that must be why he decided not to come out and play.

I'm pretty sure you need stock style suspension to run at the shootout
