hey Matt sorry you saw it differently.. you said it was on video.. so just post that.. yes all the runs were pretty close. i remember behind slightly ahead before letting out
the 2nd gear punch i jumped out on you.. maybe i got a jump?
oh well big deal
we even talked about this on aim after we raced.. you had a passenger and were shifting at 6,200 RPM .. i was shifting at 6,500rpm was the only reason i thought i had a slight edge in top end.

The only time you pulled on me was the first run when I was crusing in 6th and you flew up beside me and honked 3 times real fast and I didn't even have time to think and you took off...
Didn't you even agree to us being head to head when we talked on aim? Maybe you changed your mind
I'll look for a host for the vidoes.

DAMN KIRK!!!!!!!! NICE RIDE!!!!!! I didnt know you got a Z06 =) you want to race?
lol haha Yea Icon so you can put 10 bus lengths on me w/ your low 11 car
Matt: ok well you didn't tell me about the first time.. that u got such a late start..
i thought when we talked about it on aim you were asking where i was shifting cause it seemed like i stayed in gear longer.. found out you were shifting at 6,2000 me 6,500.. and that was the only reason i'd slightly edge. then again.. you shifting at 6,500 and not having a passenger.. i admited you'd probably get me.. thats what i remember.

I could beat anyone with a jump and no warning and then let out when they catch me and claim that I won by a car length. Your car may be a little faster than Matt's since you have the "405hp badge".
I look forward to our next race.

Kirk I didn't get a late start ,I did not floor it because I did not have time too.. You nailed it and took off and then you slowed down and you were about 4 cars in front of me so there couldn't had been a mistake of that being me just getting a late start,lol
Ahlcobra's exhaust is all stock so how is too loud to hear your horn? I know the time you raced chris when I was driving behind yall you didn't honk you just floored it for a moment and then let off... was that when you had the traction problems?
