While the Jeep is nowhere near as fast as my old TA, it was satisfying to be out at the track again, even if it was in a 4800 lb SUV.

Nice run...I love the Jeep SRT8s!

Perhaps someone should've reminded the Trans Am driver that he was on a race track! Must've just spaced out for a short bit....of course I can't say much, I probably would've roasted the tires on the light and would've ended up with the same result! HAHA!

The srt-8 "red lighted" , you can clearly see it, awesome launch no doubt. The t/a probably had a decent r/t but the jeep jumped the gun on him.

UMM OK...a WS6 with all those mods ran a mid 13 then...then he wasn't spraying. Somethings not right here.
