They still have the other 1/8 plus the long shut down area to stop.... Repacking the chute takes up to much time

Man, they smoked that v8. 2jz no doubt?

That's going to be some very hard times for us Rotaries to compete against.

Pretty sure that was Gary White driving. He is a local here (Alabama). Has the Titian car here from time to time for testing. He also daily drives a supra that turns high 5's -mid 9's. He should be runing his Supra at the SFS event Ernie is coming down for. Very cool guy. I lost a motor at a past event and he took time to come over and see if he could be of any help and wish me the best.

Titan has been a consistant team for a lot of years and now is causing V8 guys to think twice.

My supra friends and myself were just laughing about how in 1992 the japanies engineers went to lunch and decided to build a couple of models they wanted to have: 1993 supra and 1993 rx7!

Not big fan of the 1/8th. But it's impressive nonetheless.

This record(Titan's 1/8th PB)time 4.15 is the quickest they have ever been. Would be nice to see what it does on the big tire at a 1/4mile.

BTW. Glidden ran a 4.14 in the finals.

doubt it would make it to the 1/4 cause of the gears it has now. The car is only geared for the 1/8th currently
