here is during the time trails. jim

 

Nice videos, looks like a great time.

 

Nice vids Jim way to go some rounds. It looks like Xray deep staged taking away the 6 inches one gets used to on the launch causing him to redlight. That is a great looking facility, and a heck of a burnout.

 

nice burn outs as always jim.

 

some people though i had a 4 wheel drive it does look like the front tires are burning also. jim
