Cool GoPro video of 89 Supra racing in a MotoRally X event in central Indiana.

This is our MotoRally X Supra, its a $600 limit on the car for the race. We popped our 18 year old Chevy truck radiator but still took second place over all. New radiator and then its back to the dirt.

That looks like a lot of fun!

Is that 1 GoPro or 2? I haven't investigated those things enough to know if it can go both ways like that. Cool video though, looks like a lot of fun.

Yes it is, the Supra does great in the dirt. Would have been a first place if we wouldnt have busted the radiator. With the battery and the radiator in the back, the weight balance is near perfect. You barely even have to touch the brakes, it drifts around the corners with ease. The studded Glacier Grip snow tires helps.

I will check with my friend, but I think that it is two cameras, but I could be wrong. The video turned out pretty good considering the rain, dust, bouncing and speed.

That is certainly not your typical use of a Supra... looks like a blast! However, how are you routing fresh air to the radiator? Could that be why it blew?

And I may be alone in this, but I'd REALLY like to see a pic of what this car looks like.

I made a build thread and a resume. It was totaled in a crash 3 years ago, then left for dead in a field. We've owned it for 6 weeks, and put lots of dirt miles on it!

You're not alone, I suspect if looks like something out of that old "Ironman" arcade racing game where you did arena racing in the trophy trucks...

About what I was thinking. Not too many people would do this to a street car like a Supra, but if it is beyond fixing up nicely for the street, might as well enjoy its life as long as you can!
