I think these will still give him a run. Unless hes in the 9's which these are. Some of the guys from Titan, their Supras are in the 9's, maybe 8's now; THEY could possibly give them a run. However, top speeds may also vary, not sure who would take that one...

Seem's like the other pics need tighter crops or something, I feel kind of disconnected from the event, like every picture was taken from atleast 100ft away

It's because.... they were. Most were taken from a good 200-300 ft away, hence why most of my images were taken at 400mm and cropped. I was only allowed to get so close, for obvious reasons. I was fortunate enough to be one of only three photographers allowed to that area, everyone else was a half mile away. (Literally)

I was actually stationed directly next to a team of paramedics and their ambulance. Safety never hurts.

Would you want to be 15 ft away from cars barreling at you at 225+mph? (Ford GT for example) Those suckers can lose traction a lot quicker than I can gain traction with my sneakers to run away.

I didn't want to chance it. There was one section where I was at where I was within 50-75ft of the cars but it was facing directly into the sun so I left there pretty quickly. I was only allowed there because it was the short straight where the cars drove after their runs at a much much much slower pace. (50mph or so)
