Actually it is a local meet that I go to. This guy has been trolling through the lot for weeks and a couple weeks ago we asked if he wanted to run the challenger against my bolt on T/A he said "how much?" and we immediately knew who we were dealing with when he declined a race for $20 bucks/gas money because "he doesn't run for less than $500". Guy thought he was Toretto or something. So when he showed up again at the meet we immediately started heckling him into a race where he did agree to race for $1000 but we knew it wasn't going to be paid going into it. So my friend with the hawk decided to race him just incase he was hiding something, but he wasn't it, it was stock and he ran a red light get away. Laughter for hours insued.

Yeah but who bets for 1k not knowing what the other car is capable of. I I see a lot of what's going on is, a few new 392 guys looking for some friendly runs, and then when its said and done, some forum-friendly guys turn it into something completely different.

Again OP, would love to hear his side of the story...

Oh, and G/K too.

It happens every weekend here you would be surprised lol. Ive seen races upwards of $10K between bolt on cars.

So... The challenger showed up last night at the meet, only this time he brought his buddy who also has a 392 challenger that was "ready to race any car in this parking lot". LOL, video will be up shortly.

I'm guessing he didn't pay up the money that was owed?

UGH! Can't view video at work.

I will be hunting a stock 392 next time I'm at the track. Lets see how one can do with a Mustang with a 2v 4.6L and 5 bolt ons.

This has to the best Kill I've read in years. Not only did you spank a cocky new challenger, you waxed his even cockier challenger buddy. Did that guy run a red light after losing too?

Unfortunately, the best part of last night was the sh't talking that occurred directly after the race none of which got on tape. Basically the guy in the green SRT and his boys start claiming he (the hawk) was on spray, that he was on race gas, that he has an ls3 (random), and that they knew better and his car wasn't that fast on motor alone. OH! and that the SRT was reeling him in up top. The video apparently didn't matter lol.

I explained some what excitedly to these guys that the car lengths would have been buses had he been on his kit. Yet they still ran their mouths so we bet them $500 (which we had) that they couldn't find a bottle in his car. The embarrassment continued when the owner of the hawk basically removed the nitrous line from the car (which hasn't connected to the solenoid) and everyone started laughing.

Then these guys are scooping out the nitrous setup trying to figure out how the nitrous system was setup (flash light in hand) when the other guy says to the SRT owner "I bet you there is a fogger in here some where, find the fogger."

I'm pretty sure there is fogger in there some where lol. That's when we decided we should just leave and head back to the meet.
