ok, i just spent the whole day at the track. We had a race with touring cars and guess who got 1st place, a guy with a mtx3 with a OS TR-T
a lot of people ran mtx-3's and he also did too, you could clearly see he kept up to everybody in the turns but when it came to the straightaway he got smoked. At the 5 min mark all the italian mills ran out of fuel, and of course he was still going. The italian motors had to be restarted, while he came in for fuel and kept on going. You should of seen the look on some guys when they found out he had a TR-T and they had $250-300 motors and lost. After the race i asked him how much he got the motor for, he said $160.
Personally i think with better cooling and the right pipe the OS TR-T can probably keep up with the Italian mills on the straightaway

My bro got 3rd. Were you racing compaq? Which guy were you? I was racing the car in my avatar. I'm there almost every weekend. Yes, the TR was performing very well. The driver drove a very consistent race with no crashing at all. But there is no way the TR can keep up with the Novas on the straights.

I was the guy sitting with Ah10 the whole day. When somebody crashed in the qualifiying i was the white guy that ran out on the track and gave the car to the owner cause the engine flamed out. I picked up a slightly used V one RR today, i should be there this saturday at the track getting help setting it up. The engine will probably be put in July.
