I lost that race because I was low on fuel and out of ms109(car tuned for this fuel) and that last run I put in 3 gallons 110 leaded which caused my car to lose power and perform poorly.

I ran the switzer gtr twice and the 1st time(on ms109) I pulled him by about 2 cars maybe. I have clean video of both runs and will be happy to share.The BBI 996tt took 1st place for tuner challenge!!!

Not makeing any excuses though, the switzer gtr won the second race. It was great event and great group of enthusiasts.

Congrats on your 2nd place overall and BBI's 1st place tuner challenge wins, though. Seriously, thats great stuff.

It's amazing how much Titos car pulls up top... the 1/2 mile run was able display his cars power. I think Tito's car hasn't been dyno'd since the recent changes made, but I would be surprised if it's making less than 900whp. At the end of the day, the Switzer E900 showed consistency all day, and won the "trophy" race, by a bumper!!! Amazing photo finish. Lots of video we need to sort through! The Heffner Turbo Viper that was out was doing some serious *** kicking earlier in the day, it's too bad he wasn't interested in running for a trophy. The 2 AE performance Ford GT's were fast but their R34 GTR was insane. At the end of the day, it was the GTR's, 911TT's and Corvettes that ran strong all day and made the lasting impressions.

Unlimited Trophy:

1st. Switzer E900
2nd BBi 996TT

Tuner Trophy:
1st. BBi 996TT (Tier 1) 2nd Fastest Tuner car of day was Cunningham Motors C5 Corvette.
2nd Place (tier 2). HG Corvette ZR1 (beat ESS VT625 M3).

Fun Race.

Matt Farah in the Raptor on Gravel wins by 2 car lengths over the Toyota Prius on tarmac. You guys will love this video when Farah and crew launch it online.

There will be tons of video coming out from the event, from Shift-S3ctor, Dsport magazine, Eurotuner magazine, Matt Farah & The smoking tire crew and more!

One thing that I really like about the unlimited winner, was that he did without any tuner support at all. Just a guy who drove his car to the track, beat everyone there (including cars with full-on tuner support on site), then drove home. 824 awhp on E85, no muss, no fuss.

Fun Race.

Hey guys I am the owner of the Supercharged C5 Z06 that was at the event. It puts down 811 rwhp on a conservative dyno and tune. My buddy Ryne owner of Cunningham Motorsports drove the car in the final race.

There was some sort of lame *** deal made at the starting of the strip before the finals started. Originally my car was suppose to run the Orange Bmw and Tito's 911 was going to run the ZR1 and then each of those winner would compete for first but they changed it up. Even though I lost on my second run of day with the ZR1 due to serious traction issues it wasn't by much. She refused to do a rematch with me LOL and with Ryne driving it would be most likely a sure win but who cares unless it is a first place trophy.

I also drove the car 184 miles each way ON 91 pump gas although I do have methanol. We just got this car running on Thursday so for it to be in the top 4 I am very pleased. I am sure that Viper would give all of us a challange.

This was an extremely fun event and give props to both the GTR and 911 both fantastic cars.

Here the video of my car vs Tito's it was great race

It was nice meeting you at the event! I was thoroughly impressed with ALL of the Cunningham cars, they were REALLY fast. Speaking with most of the car owners, and tuners/sponsors throughout the day and after the event, I think we can expect everyone to take it up another notch for the next event in the fall. I can't wait!
