Default wont own up to spraying

Last week I ran this guy in a 92 short bed truck with a built LQ9, cam and a 150 shot spray, also lining up was a 03 short bed with a LQ4 cammed and supporting mods. anyway i knew he had spray I don't mine race what you bring. Well I heat the nittos up and were off and i get a good launch and pull a car and half on them then i notice the 92 truck coming around right at the end of the 1/4 mile mark. When we get back to the spot i asked if he sprayed and he says no. Then the guy shows me his times slips and he tells me the 13.1@103 was motor and the 12.2@112 was the spray. I told him by looking at your time slips you sprayed, then he tells me i swear I didn't spray the truck just runs better on the street. Sorry but i wasn't born yesterday.

P.S. why do young guys do this.

Free spelling lesson of the day, lol...

But yes, it's just an egotistical issue with some people.
Just look on this forum; you'll see a lot of it everywhere, over anything.

that and the people who are obsessed with "looking/sounding stock" just to hurt other people's feelings (somewhat different if money is involved but still not my bag)

You should've asked the guy to run you on spray, if he allegedly wasn't using it the first time. If he smokes you badly, then you know he's being honest.

cause he said he had to run motor cause he was out of spray. and when we rolled out to line them up, he said he needed a minute so he could get some gas. what ever. I run 12.7 to 12.6 all day at 107. A win is a win just don't try and show me up.

A lie is a lie also.. you shoulda tried to make him prove it. Sounds like he was spraying, which is fine.. but don't lie about it. If people weren't so sneaky about it then it probably wouldn't get as bad of a reputation as it has.

He came around you by the 1/4 mile mark?

And by built LQ9 what do you mean H/C/I forged internals?

Im not trying start anything but anything can happen in the street I seem to always get accused of spraying but when i do actually spray someone after i race them without spray they change there tune.

Thanks man appreciate the compliment, my truck can and does surprise people alot.

An N/A LQ9 properly setup can be a very potent when in a RCSB truck.
