Default Me vs. Buddys 03 Cobra

Well i was supposed to be racing my friend w/ a bone stock 03 cobra at the track last night and doing it legally... well i didnt have time to commit to waiting at the track. SO we decided to do it on this backroad that everyone around here calls the hole. We agreed to go from a dig (because that would be my only advantage w/ my nittos) So my other friend that was ridin w/ me flagged us, and he spun a little outta the hole and i dead hooked, so i pulled about a car on him straight outta the hole. The distance of where we raced u could only get thru about half of 3rd... and he only pulled about a half length back on me, so i beat him by about half a car. if it would have gone on n e longer i'm sure he would have yanked me.

Good kill. The hole is not long enough to race at. You should come down where we go. Its a bit far but alot of good races have been going down. As for going to 1/4 mile track, the f-body shootout is this weekend at silver dollar I think. If I have my car back I am going to ride up and some of the other guys are going to.

Screw Commerce, you need to hook up with everyone around here and go the the Street-Leathal event on Oct. 5th or the Ga. Fbody shootout on the 12th at Sliver Dollar in Reynolds Ga. The track & stagging area is better IMO.

I know the hole is short... thats the reason i choose to race there. i knew that my buddy couldnt launch his car for ****, and at the hole, his blower wouldnt have time to do its thing.

Weird ... I have NOTHING to say about this. That doesn't happen very often.

Good kill.

Not true. '03 Cobras make sick low rpm torque hence launching problems.
