This run was around 6 p.m. on Sunday. The GTR was coming off the track when Chris was finishing up his wheels. That car was moving.

Tony Palo broke his personal best record during that event also. I believe the white supra beat his personal best too.

It's definitely crazy to see an integra run a high 8 quarter mile.

Kenny was on the phone with him instructing him on what to do. My props to Don for dropping the 10.9's with no seat time.

F*ck paddle shifters and launch control..

Remove the launch contol and put a stick shift in that car and I bet he would never have hit 10s..

Paddle shifters FTL..

Car looked awesome and ran even better considering the wheels. As for the red GTR and the driver the owner of the car is Cliff who runs the IFO show circuit. There were two different drivers that day of his car. One being Micah and the other being Cliffs cousin. That is where your confusion came in. Micah has run the car since the first time it went to the track and knows the car well. Cliffs cousin had never driven the car and just wanted to take it down the track a few times. Meanwhile, the black GTR is pure baller status and runs 10s without even trying!

The black GTR tried... all day. He ran low 11s and when the weather cooled down at night, that's when he ran the 10.9.

I bet if we took away the cars, he probably wouldn't have ran the 1/4 in under a minute.

As much as I'm partial to the manual transmissions, I do give credit for what the GTR's tranny can do. The launch control (in the GTR and in the other cars) is awesome (when it's not breaking things) and it's supposed to shift fast as ****. Granted it probably isn't as fun or connected to the driver, it does deserve praise for its capabilities.

Not saying the GTR is a bad car. I like it..

But the truth is that the GTR is doing all the driving while Bob gets all the credit..

I'll agree to that. What's he doing but pressing 3 buttons, playing with 2 pedals, and clicking on a couple of paddles. A dog could do that.
