Default Finally some fun

Got some races this past week.First was a freinds lx hatch fox body stang.Full exhaust no cat's,trickflow heads,cam not sure what size but has a nice loping sound and gt40 intake.Not sure what else .50 rolls in 2nd gear for both races,pulled a little on him with each shift and after 4th gear started putting a few cars on him.We both didn't miss a shift and honestly I'm impressed with how strong his car ran.Next race was an ls2 gto not sure of mods but it was loud as hell.Also 50 rolls ,kept my door at his front fender till about 100 and put a car length or so till about 120 when I let off.same results both races.2 days later I ran into an AC cobra kit car on the street,got behind him at a red light after chasing him thru traffic(kept it safe for the most part!)as soon as the light turned green he nails it and I follow,reeled him in and put a couple cars on him before 3rd gear was halfway thru.Talked to him at the next light and he told me it had a paxton supercharged 302, real cool guy.we went again when the light turned and I put a couple car lengths before 3rd again.I think he was shifting too early but I could be wrong.sorry for long post,its been a while since I had a race worth talking about.

Nice runs and kudos on the kills!

Those AC Cobra's are a handfull to drive with any kind of power. So short and narrow it scares the hell out of the drivers when they put a built engine into it and then try to use the power.

Thanks guys and yeah it makes sense that those little cars get a lil gnarly when you really get on the gas.
