Ha. I believe Kevin is planning to invite David to a private roll-on event in PA next month between me, Bello, Omega, and two of UR's fastest cars.

To be clear, I have not spoken with David in years. I've never had an issue with him in the past other than my personal belief that his best days were with Tym. Regardless, there is a lot of history between David and Tym, both good and bad. I don't know all that was said between the two of them when they ran into each other a few weeks back, but the net of what was communicated to me by a couple folks is that I was not welcome for various reasons and that if I showed, I would be kicked-out. Perhaps it's unlike me, but I decided to let it go. In my mind it wasn't a big deal as David has the right to do what he wants at his event. The DSM Shoot-out is a great time and I hope Switzer's cars will be at the next one.

No

Who knows that they are calling it. I just call it a 'stock appearing' GTR. As for turbo size, enough to make near 2000whp on kill.

Give us another month or so....might just have to do that....

No, it's mine - painted the same spectra blue micra as my Supra. I drove it for a bit last week, actually surprised at how well it responds below 7k - I'd say more in line with a stock BRZ from a 5-40 mph roll. It's perfectly 'streetable' in virtually every sense as it was built to run Underground 2R cars and dig race anyone else. Turbos will make a couple hundred more hp - not sure if that 3.8L motor can handle it - but we'll find out in a few weeks when I'm back in town. As for the "2000 hp" title, agree, a bit misleading, but I guess potentially rounding up to a bhp number had a nice ring to it for the marketing guy. Happy to bring it down next month if anyone wants a dig or roll race.

Sorry to see this Mark.

Nope, honest 93. That GTR could win some some solid money dig races... Maybe a bike class, but Amar won't let bikes run cars unless we maybe make an excpetion before or after the event without the typical cameras.... Kevin and KC get too worked up over this stuff. Shit talking is fun, but KC seems like he wants to throw down on anyone who challenges them. Entertaining, but gets old... Tim Iacola. No TTG will run from a dig. None of the current running cars are built for it....but should be changing shortly.

Oh that's right! I worked that lot to finally get a race! Yes, we're signed up for April TI, so hope Tym will get everything done in time. Yes, sold my SL a year ago and building a GTR with Tym. I am working with Tim I to possibly buy his Gallardo and build a stage 2R. If Kevin and Tim make the numbers work, it'll also be at TI. Street racing this year was hit or miss. No bikes came out, which made things easier, but surprised they didn't want to run. The 3794 T1 GTR was very fast. I would have loved to see it run Tag again Sat night, but UR was't itching for a rematch. LOL. From a roll, the Gallardos are still king for now. From a dig, nothing there could have touched that Switzer pump gas GTR....

Switzer It could be bought right now for 185k and the trans could be built to owners spec. Tim needs the money and that's a real good deal for someone...

No I bought the white one and ended up selling the yellow one. No good Aventador videos - Kevin wouldn't run anybody. If my GTR was done, I would have gotten Kevin to run me.... Yea, I felt really bad for Tim...rotten luck as he's been trying to sell it for awhile.

Yep, a 3794 GTR 'arguably' beat the same Orange Gallardo. Bill, the owner of the Orange Gallardo (who never actually drives the car himself)

All I need is 24 hour notice and I'll be at CTD's shop doors....

I would have loved to see Steven beat Tag that night. Not sure what their 'race strategy' was, why the bottle wasn't on, why the fuel pumps weren't supposedly working past 15lb, etc. Frustrating that LMR seemed ill prepared. I don't think it was all BS excuses, but why they weren't on kill mode is beyond me....

That would be incorrect. The pass was never backed up, but it ran the number - I saw the slip and know the new owner who was watching. It wasn't easy, and may never be duplicated, but it did run a 'hail mary' pass....

Correct, my previous white SL was on 67's. We weren't able to get the e gear to shift high enough to make the 71's work back then - but they have now figured that out. The billet diffs now allow launch control to work as well - as seen from the track awhile back. So it's a much better time to get into a twin 71mm SL with e-gear Worm didn't have the Vette on the same kill mode as he did back at TI. I'm not sure why, as I heard different stories from Steven and others afterwards, but it's clearly not making 1700hp in this video. Hell, Rexa's 1400hp GTR arguably beat the same "2R" Lambo later that night... No the yellow SL was mine before I sold it to Peter who sold it to Nick last year. No UGR SL's have ever been wrapped. The 6 speed Orange Gallardo did in fact make 1750 last month on 71's. Regardless of what you hear online, it 'was all' in in 4th and damn close to it in 3rd gear.

Entertaining video of me getting some races finally going Sat night - there should be 3-4 more of these 'UR episodes' that will be rolling out from 1320....

Not quite. If you don't show a profit 3 out of the first 5 years, the IRS deems your business a 'hobby' (among other criteria) and any write-offs you take can be later flagged with a tax liability plus penalties and interest. You can generally get away with writing off 'expenses' against 100% of your income for a hobby business, but if you write-off more than income, then you're rolling the dice on a full audit.

Sorry guys, need to keep this one to slicks or ODR cars....

I told you it's a great event! You ran well! I was really bummed that we had personal issues, but Don's family has a serious emergency, and by the time he got a better news, it was Thursday night and I couldn't get flights from CA in time for Q....

Anyone interested in Wed 14th? We're heading to Milan for a private rental 12-4. Weather looks clear, but mid to high 40's. No street tires cars. We bought extra prep, so lane conditions should be good. I am bringing the BRZ and Supra for one last outing this year since we weren't able to go to MIR last weekend. Just PM me if interested.

No. V2 was built for outlaw 10.5. My Supra is just a caged street chassis.

Who said that? Just burnout rpm. Turbo gives out before 11k anyway. No it's V2 - lighter on a 33" tire GFORCE

Lightweight 3L spinning at 10500.... This car will hopefully be in the 6's in the next month. First time out, so working on suspension and other testing.

Correct. It went to Russia. But I plan on being at TX2K13 with something faster and hope D. Wiggs shows....
