records and more records..

Man times get broken in PR so often than it's just not fun anymore
Thats crazy with only a few runs of Oso at the controls and the controller Guess Falito wants back the official title of "rotor king", man give it to him because he deserves it. Big congrats to all involved

WE NEED TO ORGANISE A WEEKEND TRIP TO PR.. ITS A MUST


Thinking of setting a record of my own

Any Alcoholics in the house? Whats the record for finishing a bottle of rum from start to finish with no chaser?

*burp* im hammered

that is all falito is lacking. consistently going to the track, since he has determined to stay focused test and tunning, great results are being showcased... congrats to him and his team..

I crashed it pretty bad on my first run using nitrous oxide, car launched and pulled to the rite. I didnt lift!!! in top of that had a water leak from my radiator.. switched lanes at mid track and hit the guard rail pretty hard.. there is videos on youtube com.. this was back in 2006. car is fixed and ready to try again..
