Default Discussion Titan Motorsports going 216.87 what is next?

Is Titan Motorsports going 216.87 good for the sport?

Is going close to 5mph faster then the record good?

What is next 6.40's at over 220mph?

Nothing Titan does is good...

Just kidding, to a good race program - great to see you guys bring both cars out there... hopefully I can make it to Vegas to see you all.

Can you do it again? I think its going in the right direction. I think we would all enjoy 6.40s at over 220. 220 is good next milestone for PRWD.

I think it depends on what NDRA and NHRA's goals are for the class. If they want to have the dominate RWD street car based class then you guys are well on your way. I like the idea of low 6's nearing 225mph personally, but as we saw this weekend, you have to have a good track that can hold that or bad stuff happens.

it was pretty bad, it sounded like he stayed in it even after the car had gotten squirley... total of 3 flips(rojas-who also caught on fire, san juan, and toplez) and one fire from eggum's car
cars can be fixed, people cant


as far as titan's time goes... i think its great... fastest pro stock is now John Montecalvo at 6.369... I say chase that down!!!!!!
watching nero is a trip... he was pumping his fist up and down while personett and scranton were doing there burnouts, good stuff

btw titan, big ups to vince fourcade in 2nd round of qualifying saturday night... he got out of the groove in the right lane, but kept dancing outside of it and still put the gas on, it wasnt an amazing time, but he had ***** staying in it like he did.... with so many people flipping over with that short groove on the right side, i was pretty impressed, good show

yeah that accident could have been avoided......they were obviously new with this car and were having problems with it even at the launch. he got loose and let off, then he punches it for nothing he was at the top of the track already.

I think that Titan going this fast is a very good thing. It will raise the level of competition in a very competitive class.

once the class dips below 6.50, nhra will probably try to slow it down a little.

IHRA Pro Stock

Also I doubt they'll throw rules, fast Pro RWD is good because it will keep a separation from Modified. I think that 30's one day is possible. This year I wouldn't bank on it, but you never know.

It doesn't make much of a difference if you can only do it one time in a weekend. Hartford and Steph are going to be hard to beat. They are pretty good at going rounds.

Steph has gone over 215 in testing, Matt went 212 this weekend....others will make the power.

As long as Steph keeps winning I don't care if Titan goes 250...ha ha

Good job this weekend Titan. Serious numbers.

i wish people would start comparing our pro rwd to nhra/ihra pro mod cars.

thats like comparing hot rod to all motor. not the same.

anyways....... the faster the better. and so what if the rules change..... everyones gone faster with the new "restrictions" so let them change them again. we'll just figure out on how to go even faster.
