[TurboJim]

Ahhh..that was Otto's car? Sounded like he had problems keeping it cleared in Sully's vids. But it didnt sound like it had a problem running down the track!

Anyway, good show Otto.

[TURBO 6]

Yep, that's his street car. I had an awesome time hanging out with Russ and Otto.

 

[Russ Merritt]

That is my street car.

I wasn't nervous at all, I just wanted to put my E-brake on and get ready as I had NO chance to beat him with his trans brake launches. We had talked about it earlier and he was fine with it. Woulda made a good race to watch as my car was hookin pretty good, he woulda ran me down no sweat though with his 137+ trap speeds........ He is the greatest guy!!!!

While everyone was confused........ I won the first race

I would rather Dick move on in the rounds as he would have a better chance to win and I was just there havin fun anyway. I'll bring my other car next time with the trans brake so I can compete............. a bit.

Trav, great to meet you and everyone else!!! Nick, Travis, Reaper, Aaron, all you guys did a great job!!! Never knew what I was missin........ The best bunch of people I could have ever met.

Cool deal glad you had fun and we better see you next year, it was a pleasure to finally put a faces to all the user names. The older guys really got a kick out of seeing you put some heat on old Dick...he is a great guy also

Otto was so excited he was talking 900 words a minute

 

[Russ Merritt]

Had a blast hangin out with you too Turbov6! Otto is the man! He drove that car like a champ on that 9.42/146 pass! No way was he liftin......... He wasn't even slowed down yet and I had Jimmy Rome on the nextel tellin him........ Nice job Otto, you fought through some tech glitches and tuning issues, never gave up, got the pass, the check and the runner up trophy............And you got my ass home with the hub and U-joint B.S. Thanks dude and the biggest congrats Mr
