As far as my comment, I still stand by it. There aren't too many cars running around on the street that have 600+ RWHP numbers that run anywhere close to what they should out at the track. You know that. Dyno numbers are great and all, but I race cars, not dynos. I'm not saying I had the fastest car around by any means, I know I didn't, but I have lost count of the cars I had beaten that had WAY more horsepower than I had. I'm sure you have been in the same position a time or two.
Now, Trauma being a DJ and me hating on him for that reason or because he has money is not even close to being true. Hell, my fiancé has been a DJ at Clear Channel for years now. People wouldn't believe half the things I see go on in and around the studios. How can I hate on Trauma and not be a hypocrite. I think he does a good job on the radio. I like his stuff. If I was in his position, I would put a lot of money into my car and have a nice ride too.
I know my car can't compete with his on the skid pad, slalom course or from a roll, but if all goes well, I'll be back up and running in a few weeks. If he wants to run against my clapped-out beater at the track, I'll be up for it, 1/8 or 1/4 mile, his choice.

BTW James lets see you run em.... just for fun...
As for me personally I would rather watch high powered cars run... Its more of a crowd pleaser, wouldnt you say???

Hopefully he isn't booed out of the track like he was at the Supra meet. I thought that was pretty shitty on the part of the people there, as I don't think he was being paid to be there and play music for them.

What would be the conditions for a Buick Roadmaster?
JFWY James, but it would be cool to line them up. You said street category, do you know what (if any) classes they are going to have. Right now I only have slicks, and being 1/8 mile, obviously I don't want to run on my regular 235/60/15 street tires, lol.. And come on James, what's this roll race shit? You're better than that

Any takers in all of those categories?Bring your money
