Default Friendly callout (his car vs the clock)

Ok guys, not talking **** at all. But a friend here says he can run 12.7's at the track all day long. I wanna see the slip/vid/ in person.

I'm willing to throw down 50 bucks that in the first 3 passes he can't get a 12.7. I'm sure he will post here talkin all kinds of mad **** on me (yeah he is faster than me.. big whoop I drive a grand prix). But, as a friend of his I wanna get a little wager goin. So here it is ..... take my money if u get it, if not you lose nothing except the 15 dollars ( and gas money) it takes to get into the track. Please don't think I'm talkin **** on you bro, I just wanna see you back up your ride... we all know you can hold your own on the street, but I feel the track is a completely different story. Let's set this **** up!!!!

With your mods I know that this is a possible feat, but I wanna see it in person and am willing to shell out 50 bucks to do so!!!

And if your car breaks at the track, I'll give you 100 bucks to help fix it... you can't purposely break your car at the track either. This is a win/win deal for you and a lose/lose deal for me, you HAVE to take it.

That means, if you break your car on a sub 12.80 run.. u get 150 bucks!!!

Dayum! Not to bug in Froman, but the "not talking **** to him", you've done probably everything but talked about his mother. Hope you two are on good terms. Good luck to the both of you, too bad you guys cant talk/bet about it over some simple beer at the pub or a glass of milk n cookies.

Lol, how do you think this all started? Over some simple beers at the bar last night.... I just thought that if i posted here, you guys might encourage him a little to go to the track. I'm not willing to divulge what mods he has (if he chimes in, he can tell you guys), but a stall and drag radials he has not.

I'm located in the woodlands.

well he must not have a whole lot if youre trying to get him in the 12.7s. most people with only bolt ons arent the type to hide stuff about their cars, bc theyre not fast enough to need to hide anything yet.

Exactly what I said, but he promised me his header/lid ss can run 12.7. His name on here is pSSycotic...if you know him, encourage him to go to the track and take my money from me.
