Moving away from all the controversy in this thread, aside from the texas mile are there any longer runways in the US for racing?
In my opinion the Texas Invitational racing area is too small for cars with this much power, a stage 2R really needs a mile to stretch it's legs and show what it's capable of. You could possibly argue from a safety point of view that they don't need to reach those sorts of speeds on a regular basis, but to determine the faster car surely it's a better option.
In my opinion the russians are doing it right with the Moscow Unlim style racing, with the modification of making it a roll race instead of from a dig. Also those guy have some huge ***** as the barriers are so close, but something similar with added safety aspects would be ideal and would lead to less of these types of arguments by producing a clear winner.

someone with logic and sound mind
WOAH WOAH WOAH! Give Eddie a break!!! I was there and saw every race between a UGR Lambo and Eddie's Porsche.
Eddie had a total of 3 races against UGR cars (1 vs Dave, 2 vs Gabe).
First race walked away from Dave.
2nd race was way too close to call, but clearly Eddie had Gabe by a nose given the pics released of the finish line (where the cone is)!
By the time the 3rd race came around, the temperature dropped dramatically resulting in Eddie spinning almost all the way down where Gabe took the victory.
Either way, much respect for both parties involved! Stop bashing Eddie when the guy has no problem running with the bulls, no pun intended!

I have not listened to all of the pre race hype and I can only partially comprehend how fast these UGR cars are on full tilt (driven and ridden in a couple versions). I have met and seen Eddie run. Props to all for racing, sounds like it was close. Texas should be interesting and fun.

HAHA I hear ya!
After being obsessed with these cars since I first saw some videos of them in action, no other car is good enough, and everything else is just a "placeholder" or temporary until I can comfortable afford an UGR TTG.
Not to say other cars aren't cool and fun to drive, but something about a Twin-Turbo Lamborghini is just on another level.

I just sent my 570 over to them. Your day will be here soon

That's my point, you need the space to be able to roll and then gun it for at least a full half mile to let these cars stretch their legs/run down cars etc.
Texas Invitational in particular looks way too short.

Found the video, AWESOME posted it on the GT-R LIFE it shows my car coming from the back and passing him at the 1500ft mark. you clearly see the 1320 cone and 1500ft mark and cone. kevin you never showed up, you not sure of anything, but i'm sure of one thing i won that race. p.s. my car is very slow,just quick and has no top speed. ha ha you made a comment. i trap 201 mph at 1500ft doesn't say much for your car... and gabe don't take offense to this it directed to UGR and they're super super fast lambos. almost forgot jose look this word up on your translator YOU F*****IDIOT

There is a good chance here you are suffering from some sort of (*** got drug paranoia) from the beat down Gabe gave you. We are talking about a earlier race you lost that was close at the 1/4. Then you got drug on the 2nd race that you have some how successfully misplaced in your small think tank called a head. Maybe you lost it in all the circles you were walking in after the first race. Lets recap. Gabe clearly out powered you and won the first run as Awesome even stated. You wanted a rematch and got destroyed. Somewhere around that time you suffered a short term memory disconnect with reality.
The 1st race was so close that they ran it again and gabe won easily
I just want to claify the races bc everyone keeps saying the picture was at the 1320... is really the 1500ft mark. Just look at the videos.. you can see the 1320 cones down by the end of the "o" on pocono
Thats all i am saying.....
First race was so close (IMO Gabe won)... 2nd race gabe won hands down (both at the 1500ft mark)
Also in all fairness... you heard eddies car lighting the tires the 2nd run
Im not picking sides as i think both cars are ANIMALS.... Just want to get the facts right for those that were there
Gabe won the event no doubt about it....
1st run all these pictures of it being close are turly from the 1500ft mark. it really was that close

EB, in all honesty, all you are doing here is showing everyone how much of a sore loser you are. You lost, get over it! You win some, and you lose some, that is how this game goes regardless of how fast you are. Sometime the cards unfold your way, sometimes they don't.
Your car is very fast, and you are a very respected member in the community from what I have seen, but your **** poor attitude about this loss is not helping your rep.
Joe, EB may have spun, but from my understanding Gabe did as well, and you don't see him sitting here making excuses on how he could have done much better had he not, etc.. There will always be some kind of excuse and each driver can probably come up with several of them, but the bottom line is that EB lost and he just needs to move on. There will be other opportunities that will pop up.
