I lost that race because I was low on fuel and out of ms109(car tuned for this fuel) and that last run I put in 3 gallons 110 leaded which caused my car to lose power and perform poorly.
I ran the switzer gtr twice and the 1st time(on ms109) I pulled him by about 2 cars maybe. I have clean video of both runs and will be happy to share.The BBI 996tt took 1st place for tuner challenge!!!
Not makeing any excuses though, the switzer gtr won the second race. It was great event and great group of enthusiasts.

I took it as him explaining what happened... as to why he did what he did. IE if he won the first got spanked the last two on an everythign working car IM guessing he would say he got lucky to win. This case he spanked it the first run and lost the last, he didnt say he should have won. Just he had fueling problems.

It's amazing how much Titos car pulls up top... the 1/2 mile run was able display his cars power. I think Tito's car hasn't been dyno'd since the recent changes made, but I would be surprised if it's making less than 900whp. At the end of the day, the Switzer E900 showed consistency all day, and won the "trophy" race, by a bumper!!! Amazing photo finish. Lots of video we need to sort through! The Heffner Turbo Viper that was out was doing some serious *** kicking earlier in the day, it's too bad he wasn't interested in running for a trophy. The 2 AE performance Ford GT's were fast but their R34 GTR was insane. At the end of the day, it was the GTR's, 911TT's and Corvettes that ran strong all day and made the lasting impressions.
Unlimited Trophy:
1st. Switzer E900
2nd BBi 996TT
Tuner Trophy:
1st. BBi 996TT
2nd. HG Corvette ZR1
Fun Race.
Matt Farah in the Raptor on Gravel wins by 2 car lengths over the Toyota Prius on tarmac. You guys will love this video when Farah and crew launch it online.
There will be tons of video coming out from the event, from Shift-S3ctor, Dsport magazine, Eurotuner magazine, Matt Farah & The smoking tire crew and more!

the race with the BBI porsche was awesome, i only wish the red vette had more traction, the BBI porsche put some decent space on the hit due our traction problems, the vette was pulling it back at top, but unfornuately ran out of real estate.... bad *** porsche, never raced one that fast!! the vette was a last minute cram job to get it finished for the event, i would love a rematch once we get the vette back running 100%, maybe with the vette on race gas, we ran her on 91 pump gas plus meth all day lol

your car is badass!!! you can the very last second the vette makes a charge back.... but damn that porsche is quick, what kind of trans is in the porsche? is a regular H-pattern gearbox, or a E-clutch push button shift deal?

Only thing they should add to this event was some kind of radar gun to get a final trap speed at the end of the runs..I think that would have been awesome to see/hear those results!

Awesome event! Loved all the racing.. the Socal boys are sure alot of fun to hang out with and race. I was the heffner viper there. Congrats to Chris(the former viper brother) and his GTR, it performed all day. The conditions were perfect and trona was a rock'n place, only because we were there. I am sure it will be talked about for decades to come by the locals.

This was my race with her earilier in the day I SPUN A bunch and still managed 159mph on that run. They also made me give her the punch off since she was blue group! She would not go for a rematch I guess lucky for her since I did 170+ on the next run. Lesson learned so yes we should've had 2nds

well honestly i think Cunningham Motorsports should technically get the second place spot for tuner challenge, i was told cms wouldnt get a second place trophy if i chose to race the porsche first, but now i am seeing public posts of HG zr1 receiving the second place spot, which i dont think is right, that zr1 had no chance with cms red vette, well with me driving....

I apologize if there is some "misinformation" being stated publicly and will fix this. We will be releasing the official results from the event and it will be clarified that your car was definitely the 2nd fastest tuner car of the day. I personally didn't agree with the way that whole thing went down, but there was some weird negotiating going on grid which I didn't have any control over. Thanks again for bringing out some really sick cars and you guys represented very well!
