After tuning the car my treat was Ryan sent me off to drive it for a bit. It’s an animal. I don’t know how else to describe it. There is so much grip and so much torque if they don’t break another axle this year I’d say they have a great shot at winning.

edit: I tuned it while it was white…and fast. Not the blue one they show later on in the vid from 2005.

Someone needs to buy them a wide angle lens for that camera.

Looks good though. I wish I had the $$$ to do TNF

Honestly, the price difference between the touring class and actual race class (entry fee) is so close, you might as well do it right and go racing, IMHO

I’ll bring my PS1 mini w/ Parasite Eve for Service stops downtime :tspry:

Factory built and supported SRT8 no less. They did quite well, but that’s to be expected with that kind of time and money invested.

You can hear the tension flaring in their voice, and that’s why codriver situations can get really ugly. Neat video though, I desperately wanna do Targa. The biggest issue right now is a car I could take up there.

oh yeah. the one guy was pretty upset about the whole thing. the driver held composure(spelling?)

although in his defense, it would really suck to have an equipment failure in that situation
