heard rydell lost to a mustang out of laplace few weeks ago.. the silver ta was hotrod he raced a monte carlo not sure if this was sunday (with purple stripe)that went 9.1 in the 1/4 on the track.. ta popped because of all the timing taken out due to the big shot of no2 heard how it popped then leveled out? nitrous came on. ta is a beast i know the car. leaves like a bat out of hell, hotrod and rydel would be a good race, that is in the mix. rydell car leaves hard as well kinda of odd for a vette to leave like that huh? for you vette owners that want to know why... leave on the TCS thats why he leaves like he does just a little FYI

Redell lost to a disagreement in the finish line. The Mustang ended up shortening the quarter on him. It was a close race to have called though.

I figured I would say this as well for you. You never do better by leaving TCS on when trying to launch a vette. We use what is called competitive driving mode. It lets you spin the rear wheels, but leaves on active handling to help if you get too sideways. The perfect launch in a vette involves just the right amount of wheel spin off the line.
As for Omar. I know the car. It is a car Madman worked on.

You beat me to sigforty. I have never ran a better time with the tcs on,it was always better with it off. Another advantage with the vette is that we have irs in the back. It helps keep the two back planted on the ground so the driver side tire doesn't unload.

My TCS completely disables the car. When i forget it's on, it's pretty nasty if i spin them too hard. I hate that our cars automatically have the TCS on and you have to turn it off. It should be the opposite way. They sell a switch to reverse it, but it's 100 bucks. I can think of plenty other things a 100 would do to help go faster.
