We also went down w my buddies TT Viper that ended up doing 214mph in 5th. I don't know why he only ran once on Saturday.
Damn P, you ok?!

I wanted to go down there, but I already had plans to go to the Nationals in Baytown. Two of my friends took an older stock ZR-1 which I think went 150-155. I plan on making one of these events sometime soon. Parker, glad you are ok.

I spoke with them at the starting line for a while. Super nice guys. Very clean ZR1. They were super fast in their day.

I enjoyed speaking with SW at the event too. We were talking about the badass ZR1 he used to own. Funny, of all the cars he owns, he likes his 2 C6 Z06's the best. That's a huge testimony considering his killer collection.

i had fun there on saturday..meeting Larry and seeing Patrick, Tiago and some more familiar faces out there..

Blaine, your car was one of cleanest cars out there..congrats on our 192mph...thanks for the blue tape..

we were so unprepared for this event..

my buddy's supra ran a 186mph..on a 100k mile stock motor with just turbo upgrade and a 75 shot...we drove the car there and back on 19" tires..we taped the car down and didnt even popped the hood once!!


Tommy(228mph) and SW(229mph) raised the bar for Supras so high that a pretty much stock 1997 street supra running 186mph is no big deal anymore..LOL

here is a video

Cool video Duy! Wish we could have seen more runs from the green car. It was rolling hard.

Congrats Blaine...!! Bad *** runs with pretty bad weather conditions. Wish I could have made it down with everyone but like Jarod had made other commitments...

Incredible to see SW, Tommy and Eddie run that kind of mph...
