Default Finally raced a 5.0!

Went to the nlr Saturday! It was crazy so many people and grudge racing going on i thought it was awesome! I only had one pass on my new setup and was in the staging lanes for my second when a blue 2012 5.0 mustang pulled up next to me. He got out asked if I was running my car and I said yeah.he asked then if I was spraying it when I said I wish man. Lol he's well what you wanna bet 50 bucks? And I immediately got nervous! I've never gambled or grudge raced in my life!! I ask him what he had done and he claim a cold air intake, exhaust, and tune. He asked me. And I said I was cam only. So I come back and am like well do I just graduated high school this is my first grudge race I'm out here to have fun ill do 10 bucks. He gave me a hard time how it was hardly gonna pay for his gas. Lol after we locked in the race for 10 bucks a peice. He asked what my et was I told him 12.6s and he goes dam I only run 12.8s and I say well it will be close. We line up. I'm freaking out!!! Do my burnout pull up to the tree. Stage. And go! I was so nervous to break loose on my drs I kinda ***** footed it fr the first few feet then got into it. I only remember seeing him off the launch I ended up running my new personal best da+1400 1.90 60' (i know my 60' sucks)12.43 at 111mph! Right before the finish I glanced behind me. Expecting him to be catching me. But nope I pulled him by like 3-4 cars!! I was so pumped! And can't wait to do some more small $$$ grudge racing! Haha

Good kill!

A lot of times, having to step up to run a fast car nets you a new best.

Intake, exhaust, tune, and running bone stock auto times. Can't beat that, lol. Good kill.

Good job Camarofreak. With your mods you should really be a bit quicker though.

Agreed. Good reality checking none the less. If both cars were under performing though, its possible its a **** bum track?

Agreed ^^^^ Everyone needs to know that this track is terrible at best. I think both those cars are faster then what the times are posting at this track.

Camarofreak should be faster, does something look wrong with his set up?
