Default Flaco vs Grand National...(read first)

On Sunday night at Houston Motorsports Park my uncle and I set up a race with flaco, but when we went to do our burnout the car backfired and shredded the turbo....(litterely)

Both had runs earlier in the night and here is there first solo runs.....look at them both and just for fun tell me how close you think it would have been.


Here's Flaco...

Id like to see that grand-national vs birchz71! that would be a good race to the end. But seriously im so glad i didn't miss this race in person. Tim, Im sorry you tore your turbo up but am glad i didn't miss this race. Youtube won't do it justice. Nicest grand national i know of. And yes it looks wicked when going down the track from behind. If i was a bettin man I'd say the Buick by a bumper. But if this happens again, it better not happen till i get down there.
And its worth mentioning HMP is an 1/8 mile track for those not familiar with it.

The Buick took so long to spool, he may get left at the line if the starter is quick.

That buick is capable of well over 20lbs of boost!
