Looks like lambo hunting actually does exist. You just need a home built thirty year old air cooled beetle to hunt with.
Let's hope Eddie's month keeps getting better and he beats Mayhem to the punch to become the first 8 second Porsche.
It seems amazing that 8 ugr cars running without problems all weekend, and even winning KOTS for the third time, can be upstaged by that little white Porsche. Crazy. Great to see all the good sportsmanship and comradery.

Out of curiosity which Porsche is that? Bello had the 1/4 Mile record with a 9.16 and a few weeks ago went 9.15 is anyone else close to that? I need to update my library

How much does Bello's car weigh? Anyone know? Its crazy fast just wondering what the power to weight ratio is to run those speeds.

Why does it matter? the Stig has driven for Bill for a long time. I don't think they need to explain on why they have that relationship, people just respect that. It is what it is. Just watch the videos and congratulate the ones involved.

Agree, maybe he enjoys building them, owning them and an occasional blast down a runway. No big deal.

Bill is a great guy and an avid car enthusiasts so we should feel lucky he spends his money on cars for us to enjoy. Also, he is very forth coming about all the cars he builds and helps all those who needs help. I am hoping he will build a 2000 hp Aventador!

Great event.
It was great to see EB & Mullet finally get to run, as well as everybody else.
One of the guys right up at the back of Eddies car when it broke was Mullet, encouraging him to get it back together and run in the 6 speed.
As BHT said, both guys are true enthusiasts and all around good guys.
Thanks to BHT for pushing me to make the event even after I had some car issues - Todd is the man.
If you've not made this event - you need to do it. Well worth it.

Eddie was by far the crowd favorite, working hard all weekend and giving it 110% to put on a good show for the crowd (they clapped every time he won). TI keeps on getting better and better, with the field of cars out there competing, and even better, the quality of the racers and their guests. Minus a tan that I don't really need, I had a great time out there.
And I happened to sneak this pic of Eddie and Mullet talking after their race Sunday.
