HP Junkies XXX Rated

BE AWARE IF YOU ARE OFFENDED BY THE UNDERGROUND RACING SCENE, DO NOT CONTINUE!

XXX Rated NOT for Minors !!!!!!!!!!!

2.00 AM

The Lone Ranger vs Nissan 280Z 780RWHP+NOS

Well Folks what a better way to start your Day!

Since last week after our encounter with the EVO, the brokers have been calling me non stop, rummor has it that the boyzs from down south have a car to run us and they have been trying to find me for a very long time is very easy to find me so the word on the street is that the boyzs are going to bring 3 cars to run me, they are in a mission beat the 911.

As we await at 11.00 PM As usual I was the first one there, I been promise AGAIN that tonite is the night for me to get our first loss, they are going to bring........

Supra 1,000HP
996 TT AWD 700RWHP
280Z 780RWHP+NOS

Other cars in attendance
The Lone Ranger xxx rwhp
240sx with a turbo skyline engine 700rwhp
Vette n/a hp
240 turbo 400rwhp
Dodge Neon n/a hp

and a few others not worth mentioning.........

So we waited for ever and finally the south boyzs arrive they have a camp of over 10 cars and the only show is the Z.

As soon as they arrive I introduce my self and right away I am pushing for this race, we explain the start and finish and we are all clear, the z has a co-pilot and I have mine GOD

The z car has E.T Radials which are border line slicks, we have our usual set up Once more 1 st gear roll 15 mph, we line up and down we go 1 st we are dead even with a clean start, 2 nd I start to move foward, 3 er the car is way back there I cruise.

We got our W 25-0, we stop and the driver and co-pilot accept the defeat, they ask for another chance because they miss 2 gear, I usually run one time and one time only and I never run the same car twice, this guys were good guys and they drove over 1 hour it was only fair, to give them a second chance.

So right away we line up and we go dead even in 1 st, 2 nd I start to pull away 3 er i am gone 4 th I have over 5 cars we get the W 26-0 !

We return to the base and everyone is in shock, hard to believe at this stage that we still got skeptics outthere, as a good sportmans I go to the Z camp and shake hands, they replay "that car is very fast" next the owner goes to explain that he lose the gear box in 4 th gear and that they over rev the engine 9,000 rpm he thinks he bend all the valves but he makes no excuses even if he got 4 th gear I was long gone!

So I have the entire scene on video which was videotaped from the inside of my car, I was not aware but a television show was outthere filming the entire thing.

I hope that by tomorrow I can find a host for the video and you guys will be the Judge.

I will cool down for sometime and tomorrow I will continue as a good citizen

Well Good Day at all!

Now that I am back to my sences what a night! the phone is been off the hook non stop everyones wants the dirt,lol

I am glad everything turn out our way, that was one of the biggest races ever, On a sad note looking at the video my driving skills were not up to par, as we have raise the rev limeter to 7500 rpm and the engine cut off to 7700rpm, the previous set up was at 6900 rpm/ 7200 cut off, we did test it last week and it worked great so last night before the races we change it again.

Once more the car ran flawless! Thanks to the boyzs from my camp and all others that continue with their support !

On another note ....... The video is 10.MB and I have try to send it to numerous people that are kind enough to offer their help, but is way to big ( I think ) and is not going thru any suggestions

livin' la vida loca LOL...

Congrats, Juan. Just be careful.

BTW, aren't the other cars putting themselves at a huge disadvantage by having a co-pilot. People spend lots-o-money to lighten their cars by that much weight.

Cant wait for the video. Can you reduce quality or zip it and send to Wayne?

Juan...maybe someone can give you an FTP adress and you can load it there, then Wayne can pull it down to his server and host it.

I think they had a co-pilot to active the NOS, thats My guess even that they told me that they ran without it.

Guys, I am working on the video

You know, I've wondered the same thing, what's up with having a copilot in a race? Just doesn't make much sense. Have someone activate the Nitrous, shouldn't that be automated?

People are weird
