Default race ready GS!

So I'm flipping through some channels last night and I stop at the speed channel to check out some drag racing. It happens to be a recording of NOPI (in FLA I believe). Anyway after checking out a few races between Hondas and Mitsus I see a GS pulling up to the line going up against an eclipse. The GS smoked him coming in under 7 secs at about 190 MPH Anybody seen this GS before? SICKNESS!!!

He's a forum member here and has shared the buildup of that GS since it was a stock GS300.

Just search for 'Raceredi' and you'll find lots of posts.

folks

i was there at bradenton that day.. the gs won , but smoking him is not the way to describe this race.. the 4 banger had raceredi from start to almost end and the inline worked 6cyl pulled it out just yards away from the finish.. it was regarded as the race of the day

Hello everyone. Thanks for all of the Support this year. We just left the NHRA finals in Pomona and headed to vegas. We didn't get to race at Pomona due to UPS screwing up our shipment for a head we needed. But we did get to make an exhibition pass during the bracket class. We ran our best pass ever. A 7.000 at 196.7 mph. Not a bad way to finish the year. The car is actually going to be in SEMA. Then we are racing in Vegas Nov 5 and 6th for an Outlaw 10.5'' tire race. If any of you are going to be at SEMA or in Vegas, stop by and say hello. Hope to see you there, and thanks again for everything.

Default re paint

Hey, the paint is House of Colors Platinum Metallic Silver. we did it over a black base. It looks a whole lot different in person. Kinda a little too much like a bass boat at times. But when the sun hits it or you are in the right light, it almost looks chrome. Thanks for the complement

I saw this car at Nopi Nationals last month. What class or what part of the show did this car compete in? When I first saw this GS is the very 1st time I have ever seen it - I immediately got on my knees and took a picture!! I knew right then this Dragster GS was the Real Deal!!

Hey everyone. Thanks again for everything.

Tuddy. It feels unreal. The car pulls over 2.6g's off the line. We are in Vegas testing for an Outlaw 10'' tire race next weekend after SEMA. Hopefully we can stir up these domestic guys a little bit. Our first pass on the little tire, we blew the tires off on the line. I got out of the throttle for .6 seconds. Got back in it, and it ran a 7.53 at 193.88. Getting ready to make another hit right now. WIll keep you all informed.

Johnny, stop by at SEMA. BTW did you ever get those Side skirts? See you there.

We just had the car on display at NOPI. Didn't enter it in the show. It will be in SEMA, and In PRI in Orlando in December.

Thanks again everyone, and if you are ever around where we are. Feel free to stop by the pit and say hi. Justin.
