Pictures must be old, Bisi is racing.

Look at the T1 Integra, sometimes you forget how far that car has come! Great pics dude.

Pictures are awesome, but the lack of spectators is scary!

Ahhhhh, the good ol' days...

Man, how I wish the Pro classes were still thriving like they were ten years ago. I used to enjoy Ioannou and Arslanian go at it. I remember like it was yesterday when they came to VA Motorsports Park in 2002 (or was it 2001) when they ran 7.1's in the Bullish Solaras. The faces on the domestic locals were PRICELESS!

Absolutely, that car has come a lonnng way. Who'd have thought these cars would now be running 180+ mph traps. I remember back 9 years ago when it was a big deal when Gardella first hit 180 in his Hot Rod Hatch.

Progression and evolution FTW.

90% of all the PRO RWD cars on those pics are all in Australia.
