    So I do a little drag racing...

    One of my business ventures is INTENSE-Racing. Here are a couple videos of two of our flagship cars drag racing and setting some records.

    The first is a video of my 2000 Bonneville SSEi, which was actually my daily driver for 70,000 miles. This was the first Bonneville to run 14's, 13's, 12's, 11's, and finally 10's. I retired it two years ago, but it still holds the record as the world's fastest Bonneville with a 10.71 seconds @ 125 mph in the quarter mile:

    The second is a video of my 1998 Grand Prix GTP. This was the first 3800 FWD car to ever run 10's, and is still the third fastest one on the planet with a best of 9.49 seconds @ 151 mph in the quarter mile:

    Now everyone will know why I like to get involved in 'all-in races' so often.

    Wow that is impressive... I'm glad this was about racing because the header on this post said something like "So I do a little Drag" which concerned me... You do have a great hair style for being a drag queen though...

    nice

    This is really cool! I do think you are too good of a poker player to being getting into races at the poker table.

    Here's a new video from last weekend. This is my mechanic Tim King's '98 Firebird running the same 3800 V6 engine that we specialize in. On Friday he became the first person to ever run the quarter mile in less than nine seconds with this 3800 powerplant. His official time was 8.99 seconds @ 152 mph:

    Just want to give some props to my brother Bob, who set the all-time 3800 V6 FWD (front-wheel drive) world record last month when he became the first person ever to break under nine seconds in the quarter mile:

    One Pass, Three Records - 8 Second GP - 3800Pro.com Forum

    And then more props for beating his own record again last night:

    Licensed to Kill - 3800Pro.com Forum

    Congratulations to Bob!

    I'll be honest....my favorite part about this thread is that when it shows up on the homepage of the forum, the word "racing" is left off.

    So the title shows up as follows:

    "So, I do a little drag..."

    LOL!!! We didn't know THAT about you Scott

    Perhaps Dana should get back out her singles from the Suver/Bell lapdance debacle!
