He made a few passes before the rain came at the last Track Event. One of the runs was against my brother in his WRX.
And I think he had all intentions of letting it all hang out if the rain would not have started.

Fusion, did you guys mark the actual 1,320 foot mark when you guys were out there?
That might work in theory among these two cars aforementioned, but some races it wouldnt be fair. For example, if you had say, Honda that ran 10s and Supra that ran 10s, if they merely raced to see who was the winner, the Honda would lose eventually since let's say it would run lower 10s than the Supra, however it had gear ratios setup for 1,320 feet, and the supra had stock gears, then the honda would win at 1,320, but the supra would eventually pass it as the honda tapped out in 5th gear. and this could apply to any combination of cars/bikes. Top speed races are cool but they determine who is faster in a different way than who is faster up to a certain speed/distance.
