Texas Invitational: King of the Streets

Great job Todd!!!!!!! 3rd place finish is great......too bad I had a shifting issue or it would have been fun to run you. I was around 185-190 at the finish on my various runs and had a blast. It was fun running MBailey in round 1....Mike did you have any in car video for our run?

TI was a very enjoyable and well run event. It was great to rub elbows with serious car enthusiasts of all the different straight line cars! At least 5 TT Lambos were there along with turbo several Vipers and at least one tt FGT. Of course there were scores of turbo or sc mustangs and vettes. The Lambos seemed unbeatable when they were on but suffered from many different but difficult to characterize issues during the event, apparently more related to software problems than actual breakages, but the verdict was still out on some of the cars at the time the event was over.
Todd and I were the only P car guys that ran. I cant overstate how well Todd represented the 996TT and our forum!! He just continued to beat seemingly more powerful opponents in the KOS competition. Highlighted but the defeat of an 1100+whp FGT. Many folks came by and gave the P cars another look in our paddock after Todds performance.
As for me, I nosed Todd while he was playing around with boost settings on his "slipping" clutch. (I swear Todd everyone should learn that sandbagging strategy! LOL!) I also defeated a 700whp sc Z06. I lost to a very powerful Mustang (ouch!). And had the pleasure of being crushed by Peter's UGR Superleggera in the first round of KOS!
Regardless of the losses, it was a great time and good to get to meet Peter, Jamie, Amar, Bob, and Jason (Mullet).
Yes, I have some but you are not in the frame for long! LOL! If you want it I can drop box it to you once I edit it.

Congrats Todd! Car is rolling out!
Bryant the car is sitting in my garage with no front bumper currently. I have been chasing radiator issues and honestly haven't had time to mess with it. I've spent last month or more finishing a flip house then we started work on our personal shop. Which honestly I'd rather finish toying with the car there considering we now have 4500sq ft. of shop space and 1/2 acre of land, our own personal Dynojet 248 capable of 2000rwhp and 2000rwtq, multiple lifts, all the tools, a hot bath, etc... It's a project Matt and I have wanted to do forever, so it's taken over all of our plates. I swapped to the 1.06 A/R housings a few weeks back and a few hour max project took a few days because we worked like an hour or less a night. Just been drained and same with Matt. We plan on setting aside some time tomorrow to buy the parts to fix the radiator and when they start pouring the concrete and excavating (sp?) the dyno pit on Thursday we will probably finish the car. I still need to get with Justin after to make some tuning changes, but like I said my mind/time has been in other projects. I post pictures of what we are working on the car 99% of the time on my FB which plenty of 6speed/UGR Customers/etc. all can attest to. Sometimes just don't feel a need to make a huge post on here.

Even if he shifted fast, he would have needed another 150-200 HP to pull you from a roll.
