I'm curious. Do they let it hang out or play by the rules in these events?

Thanks for sharing a great vid! Some amazing cars, looked like a great time. I saw that Gruppo(?) car on the road in Ft. Lauderdale a few weeks back that is shown in your vid around the 6:30 time frame...definitely turbo charged as you can clearly hear the blow off valve and SUPER low to the ground (looked like the front splitter was dangerously close to the ground for street driving) ...I must say that it rattled quite a bit as it went over bumps though. I took some pics while driving so they may not be the best quality but I thought I would share...
