Good thing about it is that there is video proof of it. It not like he can lie a little and say "It wasn't that many cars, it was close"

Now you need to bring the gopro to work and video what he has to say in fron't his co-workers now since he was a badass before the races.

I have to admit. I can watch that GIF all day long. That thing is hilarious.

And as you all can imagine... what happened when we were both back to work??

I got the passing head nod while eyes stayed plastered to the floor.

Talking smack isn't my thing so I had no need to rub it in his face.... I just walked around to all his friends and showed them the videos. I allowed them to do all the smack talking needed. I didn't have to say a word. Mission accomplished.

Here's the funny part. The majority of the debate was around AWD vs RWD and the application of traction.

I am no newb to the track. And I know my car very well. We were racing on a Thursday night Test n Tune night. Of which, the track prep is not the best. And, there are typically a lot of street cars there ripping up the little bit of prep that is completed. So, I already knew I was going to have to watch launching full tilt.

Very easy thing to do with nitrous cars. It's called a 'delay'. Amazing concept I know. All I did was change the MSD Window Switch activation pill. I put in a 4000 rpm pill. Therefore, I was actually just launching on motor (I was going 1.7 60' times compared to his 1.9 60' times). However, about the 50-60' mark is where my car hits 4000 rpm (I have a pretty tight nitrous converter that pulls the motor down). Go back and watch the first two videos. You can actually hear the car launch then slightly afterwards it gets a lot louder. Bingo! Nitrous activated.

I knew that I could leave off the line easy and still blow by him. I didn't want to launch on the spray and risk spinning. I still would have crushed him, but not to the extent shown in the video.

The next week I went on a Runday Sunday (well prepped track with big tire cars running) and went 1.45 60' and 10.79 @ 124. I put the 3100 pill back in and activated upon launch

13 sec car vs 10 sec car = 30 car lengths. A car running low 12s will still put bus lengths on him.
