Took forever to get these pics even downloaded and resized. I have done 0 editing to them as I simply dont have the time.

Was a FANTASTIC event last Friday. Got to see several new records and some very serious cars hitting the 6's and 7's without breaking a sweat.

Donovan in his black e30 smashed the US record for a BMW by a half a second...which is huge. That was an epic run with a 1.41 short time!!!!


His car launching like a scaulded cat

Wow great shots!

Those are some quick passes.

So the 335 beat the M3?? Was the 335 modded in any way, or just a better driver? :poosie:

I wonder what's been done to that E30.

I think there's a point where a car ceases to be what it was manufactured as.

Great pics. :)

I am guessing an S85 engine....LOL a V10 in a car that small would make it pretty fast.

The 335i has more torque than the M3 does. My guess is that they are both modded. The 335i is most likely running a tune, downpipes, intake, maybe meth, ect.

Stock .. both cars are close anyway.

That Pinto is hilarious. I wonder what tire width that is.
