'Matters not. The driver was just a passenger there for a while ennyway:eek

"Depends" were definately in order on this day ... and should be part of his GT dress code from here on out!

My point was to illustrate who was not in the drivers seat. I showed tony the video a bit ago and he wanted me to reinforce that for him. So I did.

I similar thing happen to me on a motorcycle. I was lined up at a 4 way intersection with stop signs in all directions, When I blipped the throttle, the other guy jumped off the line, so I launched too, but I saw a car coming across the intersection and shut it down. The other guy was not so lucky and got T-boned at about 20 mph! The bike flew 10 in the air and was a wreak. Luckily the rider had only minor injuries. The irony is the guy just got some new headers installed less than a block away and only rode less than 200 yards before the accident. I am sure that was an important lesson for both him and I about the dangers of street racing.

I was so glad to be SLOW off the line.

Looks like his foot was stuck and he was dead set not to lift it. Wow that would have been GAME OVER!!!!

Cool videos. How is the new motor working out for Joe? Looks like you put it on him in that one race.

Rather lose some easily installed headers then your life.:ack You guy had god with you and joe has had god with him twice already when it comes to racing in a straight line. Heres to a cold beer and a better run next time! :banana :cheers

Yeah the run with the 3 cars I got him, but I also was figuring out how to launch the car right. That was the third time I had a chance to do that from 0. The power band in that car is peakier then mine. And honestly after spending the day beating the crap out of my car if I had the option to keep my car the way it is or go the stage 2 route I would leave it alone and just enjoy the hell out of it.

Definitely. Joe's car is a "limits" car. I think the 1000hp is more than enough.
