Default The poor guy in the GTO.... shouldn't try to PASS...

my buddy an I in his '66 Chevy II....

We were going 52mph (gps lol) and this guy was itching to go around us on a back road...
When the road straightened he made his attempt...
pulling out and getting to about the back bumper of the II. My buddy slid the 'glide back into 1 and hit it softly but hard... It stuck pretty well (we stayed in our lane haha) and IMMEDIATELY put this poor guy into a situation where he was ALL BY HIMSELF....

Maybe he'll chime in... I think the car was silver (It's hard to look back wearing a harness) and we were on Daryl road in NW IL Sat. about 11AM.

Oh...

The II has mini tubs, a 4.56, 5500 stall 'glide and a 400sbc with 12:1 running on E85. It also has a .700 lift roller and goes pretty well (might be in the 9's who knows...)

I know usually the LSX cars beat up on the old skool junk but this is a well sorted race car (he's had it at least 15 years) with plates...

I'll keep an eye out for both cars, I'm not far away.

I would have been pissed...thinking...if the car is so damn fast why were you in my way in the first place.

The GTO turned left off Daryl just before we got to the intersection of Daryl+120 We were headed north...

Sorry to say but the GTO did just what we were hoping for....
I think we all had fun.

Oh yeah... the II is on Pep Boys tires!

+1 sounds like a dick move to me. If you wanted to race, race. If you’re going slow and he wants by let him by. How funny is it that you are happy about beating a GTO in a "9 second" car. It’s like beating up a 12 year old and bragging about it.

Dude... 52mph in a 50 is SPEEDING (yup).
You need to take a class in sarcasm (see the smiley?) as your quoted poster was being sarcastic.

Where I come from two guys hit it... IT'S A RACE. You accept the terms and conditions when you mat it.

He wanted to play... we obliged him. How could we know WHAT he was packing?

Here's one for ya'... What if he just kept coming AND PASSED US???!!!???
Never mind.

This happened to you (you got beat up when you were 12) quite often I'm going to assume from your name calling immature post.

BTW... It MAY be a 9 sec. car.....

Where I come from racing is about two cars being next to each other and starting at the same time. So thats a dick move as stated. It may be a 9 sec car, means its at best a 10 sec car. At least in my experience when someone is talking about another person's car.

Agreed. Dick move even though you both were speeding. I've seen this happen and nearly cause a wreck.

I'm going with this being a dick move too. No offense meant really, but that's just not cool. Let the clown by.

impromptu run? HE WANTED TO PASS YOU because you were going to slow. Not something that qualifies as wanting to race

Unit is not an administrator any longer. Hasn't been for a while now.
However, it was pretty much a dick move to not let him pass.

Hey sarge could you unlock this thread in the kill section? It would make a great BS thread and I wish I would have caught it before it was locked

I disagree with the "dick move."

If they were trying to pass or not, either way the car was no longer in the GTO's way. Now if he kept it up and kept slowing down and never let him pass, THAT's a dick move.

This sounds just like a little fun.

And I wouldn't call it a race either. Just fun.
