    Would have liked to seen it from a different vantage point, but I liked it.

    I would have liked that too. I was running 3 Cameras, 1 facing my challenger, 1 focused on the instrument cluster, and the final 1 facing forward right above the airbox.
    Can you guess witch gopro died? I can post the instrument video but its not very entertaining.

    And the GoPro has never been dropped and looks brand new, but you turn it on it runs for a minute or two then shuts off. Found that out after racing.

    But oh-well gives me an excuse to pick up a couple of new cameras for next year.

    Those old TA's were slow as s***. Always good to see a MINI win a race, even if it's drag.

    Indeed! A buddy of mine bought a slightly moded 80's TA that ran a whole 18.8 seconds at Bandemere with a 305... That's getting close to being faster than a Yaris! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

    Most old muscle cars unless they've had extensive work done are slow as piss. I had an 80' Z28 with a 383 Stoker, roller rockers, the whole 9, and 4:11's in the rear and possi. If I was lucky I'd get into the 12's. TONS of work and mods to get it down that time. Stock I think it was up around 15+. My 4cyl turbo MINI can beat that time with half the engine bone stock. My knowledge of the older cars is the reason I aint skeerd of a fox body stang. Sure, they look and sound fast. Drive one, you'll be disappointed almost instantly.
