Just got to say my favorite channel to watch on tv is now speedvision. The cable company just added some more channels and speedvison was one of them.

Well on to the story. I was watching speedvision when they did some coverage of the IDRC about 2 weeks ago.

Chris Rado crashes his drag car a week before competition. So he decides to fly to the event anyway and rent something he can race so he won't lose points in the standings.

At the airport he claims he rented a Black IS 300. I didn't know you could rent an IS 300. But back to the story, he runs a 15.5 to qualify. He gets matched up with Stephen Papadakis who runs a 9 sec Civic.

After he qualifies in order to try to compete he adds a 200 shot venom NOS kit. Before they show the race he does one of the best looking burn outs i have seen.

You guys probably knows how the story ends but Stephen made his usual 9 sec. runs and won by a whole lot. I couldn't really tell what the IS 300 ran though but my guess 13 sec. probably.

But i am amazed that he didn't blow that motor by shooting that much NOS.

Doesn't the rental car agency have a policy about doing that?

If not, I bet they do now.....
