We know is a little late, but we decided to post our Orlando Video coverage for anyone that might want to check it out.

As usual, the action from the Orlando Real World Street Nationals was wild, as this is one of the baddest drag races in the country. powerTV's cameras were there, and we captured this wild street-legal drag racing event live on video. If you are looking for down and dirty street racers, you can forget NHRA, IHRA, or even official street-legal events such as the NMRA, NMCA, or Fun Ford. Orlando is the home for the wildest, not-exactly-tech-legal street racers.

Some of the highlights of the Orlando Race action were:

• Mike Keenan winning the Drag Radial shootout in his first ever Orlando event with a 7.86 at 191.61 mph over Tim Murray's 2000 Mustang. Keenan towed his Silver Mustang all the way from New Mexico!

• In the Heavy Street Class, fan favorite and street-legal legend Monty Berney took home the cash, defeating Marino Cintron who fouled his win away.

• The racing in Outlaw 10.5 was incredible, with these racers who normally compete only in the 1/8 mile now doing the deed on the entire quarter mile 1320. Chuck Ulsch's 2002 Camaro took him to victory over Brad Brand who had transmission troubles. Class favorite Tim Lynch got whacked in the 3rd round by Scott Guadagno.

• The big dogs did battle in Pro Street, and it came down to two Ford-racing legends in Tony Gillig and Chuck Samuel. It ended up being tire smoke that felled the 2004 Escort of Samuels, who gave the win to the IHRA Mustang of Tony Gillig who ran a 6.59. This would be the last race for the popular ASSC team, as team owner Tim Huston is selling his complete racing operation.
