Texas Dig Race: Camaro upsets GTR fans worldwide

Alpha 12 GTR vs Bird’s Camaro.
We were at the Call Out Dig Race by Stance Autoworks in Houston recently during TX2k and saw this pass, which by far was the biggest upset of the night from the 100+ cars which were on the entry list. Brian’s Alpha 12 GTR from TopSpeed Motorsports was stacked up in the 2nd round against Bird’s Camaro. This has become a real storm of comments on the dig list as well as on Facebook. Some say the Camaro jumped while others call it as the GTR “was sleeping” on the go. Whatever the case may be, the upset of the night was in this race. 1000’s packed this hidden airstrip somewhere in Northern Houston to see these cars battle it out for a cash money pot in a winner-take-all ladder.
We were pulling for Brian’s GTR, but the proof is in the pudding that this Camaro was ready when at the line and took the W. Congrats to Bird, who went a few more rounds. If you were out there, how did you see it?
For those who were expecting the GTR to take it all, here is Brian’s 1st race:

Honda Tuning Magazine’s Project DB2
Posted onHonda Tuning Magazine always details a project car in house for their tech articles and for 2014 they have rolled out Project DB2, a 1992 Acura Integra GSR for assembly. The 92-93 GSR is unique to the Honda/Acura lineup because it is the 1st vehicle stateside to house a Dual Overhead Cam (Dohc) Vtec engine. The 1.7 liter which was in the GSR was exclusive to North America, along with a few other parts of the car, making it a classic among enthusiast. Matt Rodriquez, Editor, was excited to jump into this project. Vibrant Performance was proud to get on board of the build supplying Fabrication components to aid in the turbocharging of this historic Acura.

Dubai GTR makes 8.1 second quarter mile pass.
Posted onDamn my neck hurts just watching it! These GTR’s are knocking down the times. This one is still All-Wheel and it is not tubbed. As a street car, this monster would hurt feelings and be quite the “Pull up at the track” threat! That is a 1.29 60′ on that 174mph pass, in case you were wondering. Watch it after the click….
Pepsi Max and Jeff Gordon make Test Drive part 2!!
Posted onPepsi Max has been all over the net with their Uncle Drew series, a favorite of ours where NBA All Star Kyrie Irving and others are in full costume to prank unsuspecting bystanders. It is quite hilarious. They also have a series with legendary Nascar driver Jeff Gordon. In the last episode, Jeff goes to a dealership for a test drive and has the salesman about piss himself. This time, Jeff and Pepsi get directly back at the internet, going after Travis from one of our favorite sites Jalopnik!
