If they can't put the power down that's their fault. TI gives cars like the LMR vette some extra traction due to the road surface. They were racing a 6 speed UGR Lambo too

Here is a video:

I just wonder how many of the fast as cars are going to take their cars to the track?

I know someone has been trying to get a race but, no one has wanted to step up and race the car.

Would be awesome if you could record that so we could have a sounds of tx2k video

Maybe tonight. We could hear them all night long last night. A few times you could hear police sirens too.

Anyone know what happened to MNIVET? He ran my buddies 280 and after he was blowing out a ton of white smoke... Looked like a popped a radiator hose or something, my friend said he saw the car on a flatbed by the Omni a while later.

Here are a few vids of my Viper doing work.

3-way vid. This is the run where I lost my clutch, going into 5th. Me vs Inspector vs 850 whp GT-R.


Same run above, from my rear camera. Check out Inspector12 doing a burnout in 3rd gear. Spinnin' ain't winnin! If you listen carefully, you can hear my clutch die its hot death as I grab 5th gear. Nothing but rpm.


Fly-By vid. Me vs Procharger F1A C6 (900+ rwhp). I pulled out about 2-3 cars by middle of 4th.

Inspector12, I think I saw your Vette out last night, but Nineball, I did not see your Viper. There was another blue and white 06, but he had an ACR-ish wing on the back and the stock hood and he was near the stage, right by the LMR Texas Mile Camaro.

Just amazing. I'm surprised the cops don't crack down harder, but I guess it's a big city and there's only so much they can do.

Just be safe guys. Don't want to read any tragedies.

Quite the contrary. The cops do crack down rather hard. I have never seen red and blue lights pop up in so many places around me, at any given time. You could be driving on any highway and to the left, right, back or front of you there would be lights flashing or popping up. People pulled over left and right.

The thing is, there were likely a few thousand people at the event, it was much bigger than I expected, so the police resources only stretch so far.

There was an LSX FC RX-7, MNIVET, a fast *** GT-R, and JustAFantaZ going at it in deep Mexico. The MNIVET looks like it lost some coolant after he ran that GTR. Hope it wasn't too bad and he's back out later today. ThirdHonk.com crew has some video.
Unfortunately I was pulled over by that pig on our way to the runs... took one for the team and let off some heat off y'all. Lolz... hopefully I can ride in the z for a pull.

That's what I was saying. The amount of cars, plus the vast amounts of places to run (from what I've been told) means that there is plenty of racing to be had.

MNIVET broke.. There was a good size of a piston missing. I'm sure he'll post up a pic of it.

Well that sucks! I caught the aftermath on film but we got blocked for the actual run so the camera was off.

Nineball was running a Ram dual disc if I remember what he told me last night. Yeah the tires are just about gone after the runs last night spining all the way through 4th and a little in 5th. Wed have a better race when I get some tires and he gets a new clutch. But we were pretty evenly match HP wise Tony's just using it lol! Its ok I don't mind taking a beating from a local Houston guy or two lol! But Mexico's roads are getting better!
