You haven't run the right one yet. I used to street race all the time. I had a lid and catback and the race went the same everytime with mach 1's. Dead even through 1st, 2nd gear... I pull by a nose. 3rd gear and I'll holla. They start to get smaller and smaller in the rearview. I think the gears 3.55 vs 3.42s were the only thing that kept them in the race. I finally got beat by a Mach 1 once. It was the same guy who had seen be demolish all of his friends and kept runnin. He came to my house after he got a 150 shot. I didn't punk out. I ran and lost. Just so happens he was in a magazine the next month for having the fastest stock bottom mach 1 in the nation. So I don't feel too bad.

When they said that i thought they where messing with me n i was gna get beat bad but i figured what the hell mite as well lol
I can't see an LS1 loose that bad to a Mach1 THAT bad. It should be a good race but 4 cars would be a BIG power difference. If he really got beat that bad there was either something wrong with the car or the driver

Either way, you whooped his ***!

True...but I think there should be a scaling factor applied.
12's and you can talk just a little bit.

Just to clarify, I wasn't talking about you sarge.

I was gonna mention something about the standing rule...of course I'm not there yet with either car, that takes money that goes to tuition instead of mods.

you are starting to sound like a cop. I hate that rule but i guess it serves a purpose. I just dont like how they can get you in trouble for anything they feel like as long as they call it wreckless or unsafe. Just had to chime in and vent a little. Sorry.

Tony (Nine Ball) wrote that rule. I just copied and pasted it.

I was kidding. Thanks for chiming in and venting though. I really appreciate
it.
