Not pretty but was my first run@ TRP. Had the fuel pressure set for Hallett, and all the setting and ideling I think the fuel bowls filled up and spilled over when I launched. Then it  fell on its face twice then took off.

Was that a twin turbo Z32?  In any event, a spanking if ever I saw one.

UGH! Ineed to get Al Gore to take this vid off the interweb! Defamation! Defamation! lol

Yes, it became apparent to me after that 1st run that I had lost an intercooler duct bolt at Hallett, leaving a nice 1/4" sized hole whistling air right out one of the intercoolers like a $800 kazoo, so I ran a slower 1/4 than a bone stock TT.

Embarassing nonetheless...."sometimes you eat the bar and sometimes the bar, well, it eats you"

I had trapped 111mph just a couple months prior my 1st trip ever to the strip, so my spanking wasnt supposed to be that ridiculous.
