Sitting here now, weather is great, looks like it will be a good night for racing. The only downside so far is a headwind down the track.

Ahh kind of figured that after they pushed it in ARD's trailer.. Didn't they have another car blow up on the starting line earlier the past year as-well? And i kind of assumed it was ocII's car because they have the same exact rims/color.

Congrats on the win.

We will have to wait for Worm to post the video, but the TT C5 Vette that LMR for Silas Oneal is now the fastest IRS C5 vette on the planet. They will have to see if its the overall IRS record holder. Josh piloted the car to a 8.37@173 last nite on drag radials. That car was getting it done.

Uhhh RC come on man... If you think its the fastest IRS car in the world then you have blinders on. SW went 7.9s on IRS with a 6speed, Boost Logic went a 7.59 @ 188 with IRS and a 91mm Turbo. Even Underground Racing went 7.9s in a 6speed Viper, although it was never backed up other passes have always been 8.2s-8.3s. Titan has been 7.6 or 7.7's, Jamie Carters PERSONAL Supra has ran 7.8s, and so on so fourth. They FAR FAR FAR FAR FAR FAR FAR from the fastest IRS car in the world...

Reading fails you. I said it was the fastest IRS Vette.I never said it was the fastest overall. I said they would have to see who was the fastest, as I did not know. Now that Ive checked, its none of the guys you named either. Its a Heffner Viper, car has been some 7.40's.

Just don't do it at Sealy pick a track that you know EVERYONE is going to dead hook on. I remember being told Sealy hooked perfect and they go to make a run in Robs car and he almost wrecked it. Then we lined up Matt and he almost did the same...

If I still have some MS109 left I want to meet up with you all and have a shot at that 2010. Make sure you bring a video camera because if Herbie does some how win I want to see the reaction from everyone...

With that being said name a day this week for Freebirds. I've had to get it to-go the last 2 weeks. I don't want to do that again!

RC it's 12:40 in the morning or afternoon. Do you expect me to read every bit of a post to respond. I woke up no more than 10 minutes ago... Roommate and friends showed up at 5am this morning..................

But you are right Heffner does hold the record that car is a BAD BITCH!

Powell chill out bro, he said casters IRS C5, not fastest car. The first pass he had he'll keeping traction and got squirlly but the 2nd pass was straight and clean.

Overall I was a little disappointed in the competition of the day. The best matchup in my opinion were two black Trans Ams that went at it a few times running low 11's- high 10's.
