Talking R1 FD, Z06, STi, MR2, C5, R6, M3

1st Race: Acouple days ago I had Drag Works' 2003-04 M3 riding inches off my bumper humming very loudly hinting high rpms which equals ready for action. Unfortunately the air was very hot and it was evident due to the car's response. After we get some what clear traffic he immediately pulls next to me and starts to floor his car. It took me a second I drop it in third at around 4,500rpms. I pulled instantly I got about 2 1/2 - 3 cars on him switched in front of him at near redline for fourth and let off. The driver caught up pulled next to me, gave me thumbs up and drove off. The bmw was a real pretty car red exterior like mine! ; ) For those that don’t know Drag Works is a very well known group in Virginia for 10-11 second integras and civics.

Last Night: My cousins MR2 t/3 t04e 57 trim (untuned, low boost) pulling away from a black R1 FD at a 140mph fly by
cousins MR2 vs. R1 FD (new motor, turbos, exhuast, dp, intake for all i know) holding to speeds past 140 with recording outside the window of our friends STi with a t/3 t04e 60 trim pulling away very nice vid.
Vids coming soon

New vette heavily modded beating a Yamaha R6
Vid coming soon

Porsche 911 vs Mustand Cobra
A female is driving the 911 and I believe the cobra won it was the new ones and was modded but didnt win by much
Vid coming soon (possibly)

R1 FD vs. New GTO (Motor work)
The R1 is on slicks and has a bad launch. The GTO goes before the flag. GTO wins. (If I drove that R1 forget about it bye bye GTO)
No vid


Main Race:

C5 Heeaviiiilly modded vs STi t/3 t04e 60 trim
Vid coming soon
The C5 is on slicks in automatic and has alllloottt of work done runs 11's
My friends STi doesnt get properly flagged and gets a bad launch catches up in the end and looses by a car and a half. These cars might I say were both seriously fast
Vid coming soon

Unfortunatly I didnt bring my car with me but spectated and enjoyed. I wish my friends STi won but its ovious in the video he wasnt flagged fairly. If his launch was what it was supposed to be from before runs he would have had 1 car on the vette. Hope you guys enjoyed!

It was a crazy night. We meet up at this one spot in the middle of no where and then wait for others to come. After that we make our way to there race spot. To my surprise it was a nice straight road, very clear. I am thinking that this is the spot but we keep driving deep in to the road and end up at a very long straight away. Then I see where they race, its across a bridge. I was shocked. I am sorry but I dont have the guts to race on a bridge, even if there is water under.

I witnessed some of the worst flagging I have ever seen even though the concept of it is very simple. I finally got sick of watching it and decided to flag the GTO vs our buddys R1 RX7. I explained how I was going to do it to the GTO driver and he still jumped early, before I even started lowering my hands. After that run he still wanted the money for the "win". My buddy in his RX7 didnt even go until my hands were down, and by the time he went, the GTO had a 2 car head start thanks to his early jump. They said there rules were that if you follow a guy out the hole then its a race even though one guy gets the early jump...wish they would have told us that from the start. One of the GTO guys friends started getting all crazy belligerent and a fight was going to break out, the vette driver tried to calm the guy down... so my friend in the RX7 just gave the GTO guy the $20 to avoid a meaningless fight. It was only for $20 so whatever. I really did want to run the GTO and win back my friends money but I just didnt like the idea of racing on a bridge.

The race of the night was my other friend with his modified STI vs the other peoples modified C5 Vette. both car are in the 11s. The run was for $400. they line up and the flagger points at the C6 then quickly raises his arms and drops them to go. My buddy gets a bad start because he thought the flagger was going to point at him as well to make sure he was ready also, but he didnt. The vette gets the jump, but to our surprise near the end of the 1/4 mile mark, my buddy is catching up and regaining his lost space. At the end mark he was only behind by 1 1/2 cars. After the run he explains to the vette driver that his friend didnt point at him to make sure he was ready and asked to go again. the vette guy says sure, my buddys and I are shocked that he was going to give us another run, because you could clearly see the STI gaining on him. Then he tells us that it would have to be for another $400, we didnt have the money so he wouldnt give us the run.

All the races from the night were recorded so I hope to have them hosted for you guys when my friend gets them on the net. Thanks for reading!

dont hate lol, i never drag race, i wouldve taken the GTO at a nice road course or autocross any day
i'll launch better next time

i did a better launch saturday, beat an Evo off the line, then destroyed him from a roll. for some reason HE wanted to run ME from a roll, since when to awd cars want to run rwd cars from a roll after they loose off the line

edit: also my intercooler was BADLY heatsoaked by the time we raced

The GTO only had exhaust and headers. The FD was an R1 with intake filter, exhaust and down pipe. The R1 just didnt get a good run. I would think the RX7 would come out on top if he would have had a good run.

I hope I can get the vid of the 03 Cobra SC vs the girl Porsche 911. That was a great race, she held the Cobra off until mid point when the Cobra passed her. At the end of the 1/4 mile she was only down a car.

Another good race was the new body vette vs the r6 bike. the vette won that one but it was close.
