Stacked for the drifter;
3,600lbs and 424Hp vs 3,200lbs and 463HP.

Would like to see the reverse!

Should have started out with the road race car in front. The drift car was holding him up.

Yes it was !!! :up: The CAM gang got an opportunity to see Vaughn Gittin, Jr. do his stuff at the Tyson's Mustang Round-Up car show in June. I was quite amazed at some of his maneuvers. His team was even raffling off "ride alongs" -- but none of the CAM gang got the chance. :(

They both acknowledged that this was the case with the drift car being out front and sideways in the tight turns. The road racer had to back off and was probably on the brakes alot waiting for a clean pass. Don't think it would have been as much fun or as impressive with the road racer out front and pulling away.

Yep, never fun to watch a slaughter. It would have been so boring with the road racer so far out front the camera would have only shown the drifter.
