Hi guys, that was my car in the vid. I did not make the video and yes it sucks. I would like to clear up a few things 
:
1.) I did not expect to win. Trailered race car vs my daily driver
2.) The first race he offered up to four cars after he stopped laughing cause I made noises(BOV)
. I took two cars and won. He came back after the loss and said "Oh ****, that dude drove away from me" The second race he said "heads up only", lol.
3.) In the second race he got out a few at launch, I slowly gained on him and at a little over 120 I was at his door passing him. BUT we were past the quarter already and that is why he won.
4.) His car is setup for the bottle and if he would have had it, I would have been crushed.
5.) It was a fun night with a lot of good runs.

I believe the Supra has not been tracked, so there is no factual indicate of what it traps.

Again, this is where the "top end" comment comes into play: had the race gone any further, the Supra would have clearly pulled on the Camaro.

Where the camera guy is standing at the end, that's the end of the Quarter, it's marked off.

It's a street race, it's not a track.
