yup when the car was sputtering and backfiring u did. ask the silver vette what happened when it finally cleaned up and ran good. No doubt yours is fast but with a clean run i dont think u could get me. But will just have to find out next time.

haha thanks! I have never seen soo many boosted cars in one place! Epic! I will be there every year from now on for sure! So many cool chill people too.
I dunno... We tried to dyno it while I was down there.... first run it did 686 whp then it broke the tires loose.....2nd time was 711 then broke the tires loose and they told me to pull it off, so I still dont know an exact number...but north of 700 for sure... B/t that and having 4.53's it runs quite well for a 122ci motor

I've been tryin to find where you have been talkin smack about 2K11 Billy. I hope you put a big boy motor and an F2 in that corvette cause it's gonna be a depressing 3 days for you if not. I want you to be my first race when I get down there, make sure 1320 video is in yours to video cause i wanna get a good shot of my car in his DVD. Like I said on SVT, I'll beat you as many times as you can make up excuses as to why you lost. King Kong is comin for you.

Thanks for the compliments guys! I figured TX would make me feel retarded slow, but I was actually content with how the car did(wierd right?) I just wished it didnt have issues late friday night that took me out for the rest of the weekend
I was just glad that I got to race Billy(corvette8189) and stretch him out a COUPLE of times
Actually that night I saw him lose to a viper and a silver vette as well =p

If you wanna make another trip up here with your crew we can surely throw down on the highway again.. This time bring more than YOUR car for a heavy hitter please 
All in all though it was a good weekend minus the car messing up but hey it's part of it. And I am far from having a or one of the fastest cars, I'm just competitive just like everyone else.

It was fun watching all the races go down and take part in a few..
You may have cleaned up or whatever Billy but you got mopped the first go around and plenty of people saw it. And the next run we were right next to each other then my car started to cut out so I let off so nothing to come of that race. Clogged injector or fuel pump going out, guess I need to figure that out but I would surely hope you could beat me with an issure like that If you wanna make another trip up here with your crew we can surely throw down on the highway again.. This time bring more than YOUR car for a heavy hitter please

Dont make excuses for the second run
(like your 1% would say)just like my first run, **** was sputtering like crazy.
on a serious note your car runs hard. I think it would be real close if we both got clean runs. im sure will find out soon enough. And for bringing more heavy hitters, there are none lol. Lots of people saying there building something but none out yet.
Any yall have videos of my car shooting flames out the back, who was that vert camaro filming Thursday night. im sure they got some good video of it.

Heavy Hitters=Heavy Pockets. I am always down to run but I make about 650hp. I guess I am one of those guys who is in the build process as I just got my my LQ9/370 and gonna be finishing up that in the next few months. But now I got to find out what Turbo kit I wanna go with or have my buddy build me a kit. Won't be able to roll with the big boys next year as my car will just have a better tranny/suspension with about the same hp as I make (maybe i'll up the pill a bit, who knows). But in the next two years I will make around 850-1000 if everything goes right. Just trying to get my business in Colorado started first.

Lol ok well you can take the win for the second run if that makes you feel better
As for the sputtering I am fighting that right now, trying to track down the issue but work has been killing me for a change. Hopefully it gets ironed out soon because if I end up doing a full fuel system the car will get a few other things and another tune and I'll be looking to make up for lost time haha!! As for the heavy hitter comment don't even worry about that. 1% has lots of cars, all sorts of hp levels etc so it's a very diverse group for sure. You guys represented very well though it was a fun night so that's all that matters. We will have to do it again soon for sure!!

Yeah man you guys represented very well in H Town. And I'm always down to run on some Mexico Highways no matter what horse power but it's always nice race someone in your hp range. Just every damn vette down there had a blower or a **** load of nitrous. My little 100-150 was not **** lol. But I still killed a few Supra's and a bunch of other cars, so I was happy. Just wish I could use all my funds for my car to play with you bigger HP guys.
And since when is a 150shot a small shot haha?? Still enough to raise an eyebrow from me that's for sure! And the bigger HP guys have fast cars yea but that is that the ONLY thing that sets them apart from "normal" people? Money and a fast car, and most are cocky with attitudes so I'm good with being just an average joe blow
I will say this though, there are some people out there that have very nicely setup cars, money and whatever else but some are also the nicest people you will ever meet and that's what I like about individuals like that.

I had fun even though my car took a dump on me. I will tell you one thing though I will not be chasing any of the almighty god lambo races ever again that is overrated to me honestly. It's amazing how people change when they get around a crowd like that and do other things but oh well. I would of had a much better time trying to race some cars in or a little out of my league just to see how I stacked up. I look forward to next year though.
