Runway Rivalries this past Sunday (VIDEO)
Guys:
Put together a video of a few CF members (buddies of mine) racing this past Sunday.
Runway Rivalries. Caddo Mills TX (NE a little of Dallas)
I was not racing. I was video taping and taking pics.
My car does not have the HP to keep up with these guys.
Enjoy !

They roll into a "boxed" area together. (see the flags on video)
They must be doing 60mph and be side by side.
There is a guy off to the side and if he sees they are lined up correctly and doing 60mph, then he hits the button and a "GREEN" light goes off.
The guys have 1/2 mile to punch it to the finish.
1/2 mile to slow down after that.
Maximum HP allowed for this event was 1000rwhp.
Next one would be next year this time I suspect.

They start at the back of the runway.. stopped and side by side.

Thanks for the pics/video! You Texas boys sure know how to have some fun!
BTW: You may not have been the fastest out there that day, but I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have been the slowest either...would love to see your Z run!
