Yah, the first couple of launches looked like Grandma learning to drive a 5-speed. But I'm sure that was all by design. The show's more about head games than who has the faster car, but it was entertaining enough. I really wish they'd use a tree and put up the damn times.

Yeah hot start was us tryng to start her at 290F or so coolant temps hehe. We don't wear matching uniforms because we didn't want to look like the other guys that gave out shirts to people in the crowd just to look like there were more of them. We wooped that ***...on their home track...in their home town...most of our team was drunk at the track and we all started loosing shirts...they were scared We had a blast.



My favorite line is when I am crowched by Matt and I say..."we're about to break that *** off" hahahaha I am the guy with the hat on, blue dickies work shirt with speedmachine written on it. I did the negotiating for my RX-7



Anyone want to buy that FC? I am going to ebay it this weekend...time to build an old school rotary...with a big rotary motor

for leverage with lenghts when they 'lost' the bottle



strange though, they had it in, and plummed to the point that smp thought it was hooked up.



why didnt the honda guys Actualy hook it up? then they could have used it...

Finally watched this. Hilarious. That 3rd race where they get stomped for the first time and the honda guys just start freaking out. Awesome.

Wow those dyno sheets they have on their website suck, they call a fat powerband 5500-7000?!? Maybe I'm inexperienced but thats lame, especialy because there is no power until 5000rpm anyways.
