I know.
So am I. For not driving your car
Don't get me wrong. The fastest car I have driven is a mid 11sec corvette. But I'm pretty confident in my self that I could handle an awd gallardo e-gear with up to 1250whp. Yes i understand your car is a different animal. I can see that in the video.

Thanks, but your next step still needs to be getting by a Stage 3 Gallardo before you think you can jump on a Race Version.
We have a video of an Underground Racing Stage 3 Gallardo racing your GTR build. It is no doubt, your build. We will post it up in a bit. Taking forever to get through all the footage we collected this weekend.
This video of the stage 3 is with a driver with more than 1 hour of seat time in an Egear Gallardo. It makes for a fair comparison as I'm sure you will agree with after you see the video.
- First Video will be Jamie's car.
- Second Video will be SW's.
- Third, the Orange Race Version.

I heard SW's car was turned up 100-150hp when he raced Sam's GTR so it was significantly overpowering the GTR.
I saw videos of Jamie's car and the Orange Race Version stomping the Silver Supra, they definitely pulled HARD. Have you guys done any 60-130 testing on those setups?

I have seen 2 different race videos where Sam's GTR beat Eric's Gallardo. This was with Sam driving who only had an hour max of seat time in his GTR. Those videos are being gone through as well and will be up shortly.

That is a crock of s h i t...I am the event organizer and I made ZERO ZILCH NADA off the night meet and the bikini contest. Same goes for the event sponsors. The night meet is all put together by houstonperformancedriving.com and Frank-N-Steins and I can assure you that they don't make anything either (by the time they pay for the setup, etc...it's a passion thing, not a money thing). The night meet WILL be different next year, let me assure you of that, I will take control of it and work with the sponsors to change it completely.

Yes. I'm a sponsor of TX2K12 and I get Zero benefit from the Friday night shenanigans. Hell, I didn't even attend the Friday meet this year.

I'm sure you would agree that typically, adding bikini contests to an event is for the sole purpose of bringing in a bigger crowd, of which the point is to make more money, and it tends to bring out a less-responsible crowd. If it's not to make money, then what purpose does it serve?
I'm all for women dancing around naked... but I prefer it to be in the VIP section at the nudie club instead of with 100s of horny dudes crowding around each other

You would like to think so but having driven S-351's car this weekend a couple of times it's quite different. A few miles seat time is definitely necessary to get the hang of things. Sloss can drive/race a car as well as anyone so i'm sure we'll see more from him soon.
