Was an awesome event, we had a blast and kicked some ***. We brought 4 1200+hp GTRs and took out 4 TTG lambos. The LMR vette is a monster. I ran him once Saturday and beat him by about a fender and he beat me by about half a car to a car (hard to tell from my seat) on Sunday. We got a lot of video that needs to be put together but i'll post it up when we get it done. One of our GTRs made it to the finals but just didn't have enough for the vette. I drew the vette in 2nd round so my day was cut short.

Was following the updates on a couple forums and lurking youtube for videos all weekend as they where posted.

Great work and an awesome showing by T1 built GTR's!!! Knocking off UGR TTG's left and right is badass... should speak volumes about your work.

LMR's vette is what 1700+ WHP, so that is pretty awesome to hear you fendered it on Saturday and a close run on Sunday...

Cannot wait to see your video from the event.

its seems to me that the event is gonna have to have a committee or a group of people that make sure its a street car.. that LMR vette is damn near a space shuttle, i woulda never allowed it in a street car event...i heard that all of T1s GTRs drove there and drove home?????????? GTR is king of the street in eyes its does everything right and its so well mannered its unreal...and doesnt cost 150k like those girlie lambos

It has A/C, Power Steering, Radio, Full Interior, Full Glass, Registration and Insurance. What else do you require to be considered a street car?

Great job Tony, I told you it would be you and me at the finals and that we wouldn't let the lambos win it this time around!! Your GTR rolls the F** out haha. sat doesn't count, we couldn't get a burnout cause the damn ground was slippery so we were spinning all the way down ..

But a chase is a race though, so you won it fare and square, damn AWDs!!!!

I thought it looked like Tony's car broke loose and kicked sideways a little against the vette? I was thinking he might have took that race if it wasnt for that. That vette is sick though.

Yeah, it got loose against the vette on the last run. I was holding 30psi while brake boosting, that's over 1000whp. When I let off the brakes it was a little too much. Traction control kicked in but I had the slip target set pretty high so it let it spin quite a bit. I need to start dialing that part in. It was loose in 2nd and 3rd that pass.

We took out 3 UGR lambos and 1 TTG from Dallas Performance. Apparently they brought more power than they did tire.

Fastest car of the day is D3 Performance Engineering tuned and powered by ProEFI. No system puts the power to the ground better!
