I had some good races and some good kills this weekend. Friday night I went to the track for test and tune and killed off a bunch of 94 and up Mustangs. No sweat. While I was there a red Vette pulled up next to me in the staging lanes, and I was looking at it and saw the Z06 badges. I almost shat myself. We do our burnouts and stage. I redlight and he gets a late start. I had carlengths on him at the finish line, but that was due to him starting 3/4 of a second behind me. As soon as I parked my car, the 17 year old kid that owned(yes OWNED ) the Z06 and his family come over and walk around my car for about a minute. They ask me what's done to my car, and I tell them it's stock. God I love doing that. The kid gets pissed and leaves. I start talking to his uncle(a really cool guy) and tell him my mods. He says he has a 30th anniversay Camaro and he wants to mod it. I offer him a ride but he declines. Man, I wish I had a Z06 instead of a Ford Probe when I was 17.
Me: 8.83@82
Z06 8.64@85

I was stoked because I lost by so little. He had the MPH but couldn't hook(neither could I). It was awesome. By the way, it was 85 degrees and at least 90-95% humidity Friday night, so I know both cars would have been quicker in good air.

Yesterday on the way up to Chicago I got into it with a 96 or so GT. It was actually a really nice car, and it had the LOUDEST exhaust I have ever heard on a Mustang. We played around for a while, and finally we went from about an 85 roll. I walked him pretty good. Probably had 3 cars by ~110. About an hour later I ran into an M3. It was a nice car, but it had one of those .com tuner stickers on it, so I had to represent the F-body crowd. We played around for about 60 miles on I-57. We finally got onto 294N and hit tollbooth. We both paid out toll and then lined up at about a 15 MPH roll. He hit it first, and I raped him hard. I put 1.5 cars on him in first gear, and at ~80 MPH I had 4-5 cars on him. The last race of the day was just after I exited the tollway. I hit the first stoplight in town, and I seea yellow Grand Prix pull up[ behind me. The light turns green and the Grand Prix is riding my bumper. I get in the right lane and he passes me. Only then do I see the GTO badges. As fate would have it we pull up next to each other at the next light. I complement him on his GTO and the light turns green. We both take off slowly, rolling at 10 MPH. I wait for him to punch it, and then I do the same. He keeps up through first, probably because he has an Automatic. I hit second gear and pull half a car, shut down at 60 MPH. I have no doubt I would win by a fair amount in a longer race or from a stop. However, that car was quick, and the exhaust note was . I love it!

Thanks for reading my post. I hope I have this much fun next weekend!

 

Nice kills.

The kid probably got a SRT-10 Viper the next day after whinning to daddy his car was too slow

 

Yeah, it was pretty obvious he was pissed beause his(daddy's) car didn't rape me. I reallly thought he was going to accuse me of having a hidden nitrous system or something. He didn't say a single word to me and I tried to say hi and talk to him. After we raced he lined up against another Camaro that was running 8.2X all night and got smoked. What is 2 tenths in the 1/8 mile? I'm guessing about 1/2 to 3/4 of a car. Not too shabby for my old Camaro. Maybe next time we meet I'll have my 150 shot installed so I can let him holeshot me and then pass him at halftrack.
