I think you have to actually use the url of the page, not the link youtube will give you.

Looks like Alex and Marshall were there (NSX and burnt orange vette). What was the run down in speed across the cars (did you rank place each car based on who beat who)?

Didn't rank or place anyone but the highest speed of the day was 177 in an 04 Cobra Twin Turbo. Couple Supra's in the 170's as well. Alex and Marshall were definitely holding their own that day. Besides the crazy 800-1300whp stuff they were some of the quickest cars of the day against other competitors.

abushong504 we'd love to have you come down the more the merrier! I think you'd fair pretty well against the competition! We had a pretty good gathering or Z/G guys at our last event in July.

Would be sick to see a fast Z33 go down the strip.
