I'd love to see that too, I only have my mental video, and the horrible go-pro footage from my car with some guy walking in front of it while it all happened..

Re: **OFFICIAL UPDATES - IFO, LAS VEGAS
Hanging out with the racers is almost better than the racing itself sometimes.. 
There were so many people in the stands, and a lot of people had to know that a KaizenSpeed vs. SpeedFactory matchup was going to be good, that there HAS to be good video..
BTW - If my car looked as cutup as that one, I'd go 8.50's too! I'm just jealous I guess, but these power windows in my car sure are sweet after the finish line!

Was the GoPro not turned on on Kaizens car? I know I saw one sticking to it while he was inches from the wall. Someone has to have it on film... I figured Kaizenspeed would post POV footage.
That was a damn close call.
I was holding my camera and when they lined up, but I was so intent on watching the race I didnt even think about taking pictures.

We'll get it posted by Thursday night. I still haven't even seen it. Breaking another axle is ****ing annoying since the 330 was faster than our .53 pass. We still haven't had a clean pass with the new Webcam. It's not easy, but this year I'm hot on the trail finding the power we were lacking last year.

Damn, sucks the gopros were off, and I hear you on the family and kids and work coming first.
Either way Reid, that was some DAMN good driving. Can't wait to see the footage! I wanna see what that car will do if you can find an axle that'll stay together! I think I speak for a bunch of people when I say we want to see you break that .50 mark!

Re: **OFFICIAL UPDATES - IFO, LAS VEGAS
we have some footage from Reid's close encounter with the wall. We had a go-pro mounded facing backwards, but its very hard to tell how serious it was. Seeing it from behind was deff scary and made everyone's heart skip a beat. Great save/driving done by Reid on that pass!

Uh, I think wrong video too.
I poked the bear with the 1000hp show car..
I never said I could drive, in fact I always say my car would be fast with a real driver. I still won, didn't I?
