anyone else start drewlllinnn when that GTR took off?

I got to do an install on one not to long ago and was able to drive it around that day. I didn't play around in it, but the owner took me for a spin and was all about showing off. Wish the wife wouldn't mind that much dept, I would love to own one.

That car is for chicks bro, it's basically a sentra with a fart can and extra trim.

Nothing special. I much prefer my 1981 grand am, super reliable bro and pretty fast cuz it's the GT model!!

That jeep with the blower is sick as hell

I got a vid of the GTR walking on that, as well as a old school Typhoon

Also got a vid of him losing to a beetle //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif 700 hp, but still a beetle

From the looks of it, I take it that was an 1/8 mile set up??

yea even tho we have the length, the city wouldnt approve it.. many big reasons

- that road is concrete

- Drivers are not allowed to glue the tires

- some of these will do 200 mph in the 1/4

- its a miracle the city approved the 1/8 in the first place..

this is the first ever drag race in America that is "legal" on city streets

They are trying to get the city to approve a once a month 1/4 mile drag days at our Airport, but thats not looking good

I think they should do the next one on Hennepin, downtown, right before it stops being a one way..

When did this race take place??

And here is a Legal drag race on a city street in Iowa...so yours may not be the first but that is still way cool.

IMO, we need more of this.
