Hell yah, I was there! World Cup Finals at MIR.

It’s worth noting, that the RX7 lost to the car with the lit candles in the right lane :tup:

Fucking amazing racing, the outlaw vs. extreme class was pretty much a field of 32, mid - high 6 second cars. Fastest MPH of the day was 225 I believe!!!

Nothing. Obviously full tube car. Either way, its still a 10.5 Extreme/Outlaw record.

Something I took from the top end on friday:

that had a Spanish announcer for the for PR cars, kidna sucked but said alot of funny shit. I think it was when that 350z cracked a 6.60 or something a beat a outlaw he goes. " GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLa! it was really funny,  
that and the normal announcer saying he knows 3 languages now: English, Canadian, and Mexican.1242

other good ones were “its johnny Tran, Hes got 100 grand under the hood”
