Are you sure it is drag racing and not street racing?
i used the term "drag racing" in the same defenition as "street racing".
but yeah...there has been a few cases...some locally that obviously wont get national attention but one that sticks out...the kid in florida street racing his mustang and ends up killin his own mother in a mini-van who just happened to get in their way. sucks!

All of those situations suck. If more of the older guys went out to hang with the kids like we do in my area, this **** would be reduced. Us oldsters are always harping on the kids not to run in town. Take that stuff to the spot and do it right. However, before some smartass points out how hypocritical I was to play with the WS-6 in this post. The area was clear for a good ways ahead of us and it was barely a one gear burst on a four lane arterial with center turn lanes in the daylight. Was it the right thing to do? No but it happened.

Why cant ya jstu keep the other **** for when you are postin on the mustang forums. It really comes down to nothing but disrespect. Im not sure as to why you are a moderator here when you dont have a ls1 and occaisionally wave your true colors on here. Thanks

I'm thinking a nice daylight run with video would best serve the publics interest here. I've got a digi cam but still need a USB and editing software. I may have to invest in them.

That is true, Unit knows his stuff. I remember him also saying that the best/cheapest way to get the LS1 moving was Nitrous. Quick and simple. I'm going that route this year.

It means nothing that I don't have a LS1 currently. That doesn't mean I won't have another in the near future.

This is the street racing forum, not a tech based forum. The types of posts vary greatly in case you haven't noticed.

Let's consider the fact that I've been a member here for 3 and a half years. I've had my Cobra for just under 1 year and post count doesn't increase in non-tech forums. I moderate this and the Lounge which are both non-tech related...still 10,000 posts. Contrary to popular belief, I have made my share of tech based contributions....including the thousands upon thousands of PM's I've gotten asking for help.

WTF happened to the STF? Everyone has such thin skin these days...

You won't be disappointed! You should consider headers if you're going to spray over a 100shot.

I'm going to lock this one down guys. Sorry we screwed up your thread.

Please post again when you find the time to race again...or start a new thread. It's not very often we have two members with awesome cars go head-to-head and have a great attitude about it afterwards. Kudos guys.
