Texas Invitational Spring 2013 Airfield Event

Rumor has it that the 192 mph run was a solo pass and was started well prior to the actual start line which is why he had that mph, if so you can throw that number out. Completely invalid number, so what was his mph during the actual racing? Please confirm this someone. I don't want to give false info here, just what I heard from some racers.
There was about 20' of "dead" area before you started rolling, then another distance before you got to the start zone. It looked like the run started at the very beginning of the flags or earlier. Regardless Bill's car was pulling hard all day, and I mean puuuulling. I believe Helms trapped 190 flat in his black SL, which was also a solo run.
To give an idea of how deceiving trap speeds are - when Bello broke he trapped 149, the TTSL he was racing trapped 186 ish and lost.

can u give us cliffnotes on all the other silver porsches ?
BTW here is the vid of the finals where orange car misses 4th, bello was still way in front when that happened so i doubt the outcome would have changed !

Congrats to Eddie and all the other racers. Damn that little bug car must really scoot.
I love the fact that he broke some valve train and then came back for more. Really wish I could have been there. Really hard to imagine how far our "high performance cars have come". Wow, just wow. And again, Congrats to Eddie Bello !

that could make sense. since the starting line wasnt exactly the same. it doesnt even matter since the mph doesnt win the race just like in a drag race you can have a 10.0@130 car beat a 10.5@135 car.
wow. so how many different TTGs did Bello take out 3 or 4?

Silver Cars - I believe both Joe and Tom's cars were not running to their full potential. BHT beat Joe in their run. Stacy's car ran fast - but it ain't silver no more.
BHT lost to a UGR in the KoTS and to me in the 6 Speed Challenge.
I had two losses, one to Bello in KoTS and to the grey 6 sp UGR that made it to the 2nd to last round.
Todd and I both had great runs against UGR cars, both of us losing in the last 50 yards or so.
The UGR cars just didn't seem to come out clean or fast so the Porsches would jump them and the UGRs would run them down. Bello had the combo of jumping out AND making the power up top too, missed shift or not - he had them covered.

Thats class . Joe your a good sport .

Man was I impressed with that little P car, and Eddie himself. That little car was flying!! Glad Kong had the sprayer in the trailer and someone had the Nitrous bottle lying around to help you cool that hot ***** down before the final. Good times yesterday!

Thanks to Amar for hosting a great event!!! Hats off to Eddie he really is the 6 speed champ, for him to run those lambo's back to back (the fastest) is just amazing! Well done. As for me my best pass was 152 @ 20 lb after we cranked it up the manifold kept popping off...it blows!! Always next year.
That beetle jumps the **** out on the hit. I would have NEVER heard the end of it if he popped a wheelie and still beat me.

#435
