HA! Found you!

Hey--I didn't get a chance to congratulate you--but your car surprised the hell out of me. I was in the silver mustang that raced against you.

When I got the timeslip from the tower, I couldn't believe the time you ran. *** awesome. I like cars that surprise me.

Looking forward to the video. Here is one that I made, and your car is in it:



Keep in mind, on the rear facing camera, my car is a race car, not streetable at all except for maybe 10 minutes or less.

Once again, congrats and awesome job. I was in shock on how well it ran.

Im going to say the driver is improving, since mph is the same. Looks like he got off the line better.

Its an auto. Break stall and release....


I am sure Weistec has made some improvements or some kind of change in the setup or track prep. This doesn't take away from Earl at all and this achievement I am just saying this car is a fire and forget weapon. Just point it in the right direction and let it do the work.
