What's funny is that the guy with the vette picked the 55-120 run, and he STILL lost. And although he was catching up at about 5 mph, he claims he didn't reach 120.
That's BS, because if he was catching up, he could have reached 120 BEFORE Rudy, and still be behind, and still lost. Hasn't anyone seen the difference in trap speeds at the dragstrip? A 12.9 @ 102mph Civic still beats a 13.1 @ 130 Supra with no traction.

The guy kept saying that he was catching up, which was obvious, but catching up too late is a loss.

Josh ran him on the way back (the vette guy claims he misshifted 3rd) but Josh quickshifted the fuck out of his car (as usual) and pulled a COUPLE cars on him right away, and that's before the misshift........ Rudy shifted slow and still got him.

I still have the video, not the greatest quality (shot with my pic camera in video mode, but it was all we had) if anyone wants it.



I would like to see this civic run a 12.9 @ 102mph..... But you are correct about the supra. The Supra is all the driver, and most of the supra owners are too stupid to even know what to do at the track! They all think you hold the clutch and gas to the floor and let your left foot slide off of the clutch to launch with 19" hard tires..... There are a selective few that know whats going on.
I ran 8.0 @ 94mph in the 1/8 when my car was pretty much stock(BPU) which is like a low 12sec pass in a supra... on 18" continentals tires(hard tire)

I also ran 10.9 @125mph in a 520ish'hp Supra with issues(coil packs started fouling up on that run). and was letting in and out of the gas

Im a different Supra owner.... I will always race from a dig if asked!
