it was a blast - I was so nervous the first time I wasn't even really paying attention - the tree was so fast!
second time I learned a lesson - don't use the burn out box!
I do think my car is capable of more - I haven't been able to chirp second gear for the last 8 months....

Orbit versus Maximan

Run 1: Nice engine sound, wheres the xmas tree ? wait are you racing anyone ?? lol Orbit 1 Maximan 0

Run 2: A little trouble in 1st and 2nd, sometimes my rpms drop too ..Nice to see both cars in this one.
Orbit 1 Maximan 1

Run3: Now I like this run, Orbit comes back with a vengence with good shifting he storms to victory. It was hard to see the times but this must have been a close one !! The crowd roars !! Orbit 2 Maximan 1

Run 4: Orbit still riding the last victory stomps it on the 3rd light and doesnt look back. Nice ! Enjoyed the videos, we need more around here .
Orbit 3 Maximan 1

This is a close matchup. Orbit you might better keep an eye on Maximan. If he sneaks one mod in on you, your luck might swing ... Nice driving !

Well,

he ended up pulling a couple 15.4s and a 15.39 on Sunday (after I left) he says the difference was icing his intake!
