so now that we established that cones were in fact at 1500ft, just like i said they were. i have no reason to make any of this up lol. now that UGR stopped trying to say that the cones were 1320 which they were not you can see eddies car cross them first in the picture an in the video that this still was take from...
no black magic here besides simple lines that show perspective using the lines painted on the ground.

Entertaining read.
Looking forward to racing as many TTG's as I can at the next TI.

EB, in all honesty, all you are doing here is showing everyone how much of a sore loser you are. You lost, get over it! You win some, and you lose some, that is how this game goes regardless of how fast you are. Sometime the cards unfold your way, sometimes they don't.
Your car is very fast, and you are a very respected member in the community from what I have seen, but your **** poor attitude about this loss is not helping your rep.
Joe, EB may have spun, but from my understanding Gabe did as well, and you don't see him sitting here making excuses on how he could have done much better had he not, etc.. There will always be some kind of excuse and each driver can probably come up with several of them, but the bottom line is that EB lost and he just needs to move on. There will be other opportunities that will pop up.

I'm a firm believer in that... That's why u race, you never know. Spin, misshift, mechanical...whatever. It's on the owner/driver to have the car setup to perform in the conditions available to both cars. I come from a family I racing so I know all about that... Fastest car doesn't always win and driver error can play a huge factor.
I think a lot of people think im defending bello. I'm really not as I'm a huge UGR fan. Love there cars and there willingness to race and I know Gabe personally and I like him. I am just trying to set the facts straight about the races for those that weren't there.
I said it tons of times. Gabe won both runs. Just giving details of the races bc I witnessed them first hand.
I just call it how it really went down. Either way. We had a great day for a great cause. All our cars are running, everyone is safe, and we did a good thing for people that could use the help
Shame it's clouded with a lot of bench racing BS and taking away from the big picture IMO.
We should all be happy that we are lucky enough to enjoy this hobby.

Do not hold your breath my friend. As you are talking to a 14 year old in heaven, having gotten the attention to some of the biggest gear heads in the world.

The first race was only won by a fender at the 1500ft mark.
The 1st race was so close that they ran it again and gabe won easily
I just want to claify the races bc everyone keeps saying the picture was at the 1320... is really the 1500ft mark. Just look at the videos.. you can see the 1320 cones down by the end of the "o" on pocono
Thats all i am saying.....
First race was so close (IMO Gabe won)... 2nd race gabe won hands down (both at the 1500ft mark)
Also in all fairness... you heard eddies car lighting the tires the 2nd run
Im not picking sides as i think both cars are ANIMALS.... Just want to get the facts right for those that were there
Gabe won the event no doubt about it....
1st run all these pictures of it being close are turly from the 1500ft mark. it really was that close
