Excluding the cars from SAI and QP there were two in Tulsa this past week: my daughter's and TRT 0404.

After watching us on track, people that had no idea what a Terlingua was were shocked, chagrined, and stupified to learn that they had been quite thoroughly out-performed by a V6!

I drove my daughter's car for two sessions Friday afternoon. In both sessions, I passed at least 6 to 8 cars (V8's all). In one session, a cobra roadster spun while trying to stay in front of me. In the next, I passed and then lapped two cobra roadsters. Obviously driving ability played a role in that one; but still.......

TRT 0404 was even faster with his supercharger and sticky Toyo R888's. Score TWO for the "bunnies" :bowdown:

Pictures to follow tomorrow evening.................

There's no better feeling than that you get when beating the cubic inch/dollar brigade with superior development and skills! Good on ye. They're going to need the Excuse Generator for sure.

Here are all the photo's we have of Terlingua's. Unfortunately we didn't get any shots of TRT 0404. It was just so hot that we didn't take half the pictures we normally do.




Next year I'll try to have a camera set up in Linda's car for video's.............


edit: sorry I can't figure out how to use my wife's Flicker account without giving you guys editing priviledges.... :finger: I'll try again tomorrow. In the meantime the photo's are on the slideshow in the events section.

Should have pics next week as I bought the CD of Triple B (Beautiful Black Bunny) pics taken by the track photographer.

No in car videos as my camera operator was melting in the heat.

But did he have a license plate? That is the question.
