Default finally got to run the car on a track last night

wasnt exactly the most legal track but finally got to see how it performed racing a little bit. 95 supra non turbo but he was built and beat him by 2 1/2 lengths, and a 300zx twin turbo by about 5 lengths. ill have the video of it up soon.. just excited to finally get to run it and cant wait for the summer time.

Beating cars on the street is totally different than beating the same cars at the track. I've beat several cars on the street that I know would run faster times than me at the track under ideal conditions. Street racing cannot be compared to track ETs.

i know that but the local track has closed down during the winter so then it results to street racing on the weekends but around here its a huge thing usually on a friday or saturday night there is usually anywhere from 500-600 cars and sometimes way more than that during the summer. but as soon as the track opens here im going to have it out there getting some times for you guys.. dont know what ill run yet but hoping for 13s.
