LOL this is funny....

Guys it was extrememly close race.

Props to NYSDriftKing for the win. But props to Chrism and his MX5. It's obvious it can hang w/the 8 on the drag strip.

The temps yesterday were brutal. Allot of the cars on the strip were suffering from heat soak. There are many factors to take into consideration...but over all pound for pound the 2 are pretty dam close.

Gotta love some friendly Grudge competition.

BTW I thought Chris had him at first cause his launch was better.

And FYI his girl did say that...cause she didnt want to hear it all the way home - if she was picked up. She thought NYC DriftKing was going to jsut bounce had helost. But the classic moment was when she said watch if he wins Im sure he'll pull the peach moment from F&F and surely he did....CLASSIC and funny as hell that she called it. LOL

That was a very close race and me and my friend debated over who won. Damn I've got to get a helment for the next one! IT was a blast and s**t it was hot! I think everyone would have done better on a cooler day.

I think you need to do a count down video for the rematch.

It's probably just an akward attempt at befriending you, seeing as how you're the #1 ricer/poser.

Well I got heavier rims on the car. The car is pretty stiff as it's setup for drift not drag. I'v had the car for a lil over a year and i think it does pretty good.
