MarauderTJA
Extreme Bullitt
This guy who goes to our local roadside grill/saloon has a 1970 Chevy Nova with a 350 CI motor, stroked to 383. All motor stick car. This guy is really a jerk and knows it all. He pokes fun at my Marauder calling it a Ford what-ever car. The car looks and sounds really nice, a little cammy sounding and a really clean old muscle car.
So he says to me the other day, so when do you want to run the Marauder against my Chevy? I say anytime, but it will be at the track. Then I say, well we might as well run for some money. So he boldly says how about a $1000.00? I respond with how about $2000.00? He says sure, I don't care if it is $5000. because you are going to lose anyway. I said I don't think so. I said bring cash money and we'll have a friend hold it until the race is over.
I asked him I hope you plan on running me with slicks. He says nope, just the way the car sits. 15" wheels with some funky tires with raised white letters. He says run what you brung.......I say sure. The he says and you can use your nitrous if you want because you still won't beat me.....I laugh and asked him if he had the car to the track yet. He says nope, but I am sure it will run 10.40's......I laugh again and say you are out of your mind? He says I use to drag race years ago and it "feels" like a 10.40 car, I am sure of it...I laugh again and say what it feels like and what it will run at the track are two different things.
I have seen numerous older cars like his run over the years. Some run really fast but with tubbed rear ends, huge slicks, radical motors, one seat in a gutted car. But this car is full interior, a stick car and probably has never seen the track. I don't think it will run 12.4 never mind 10.4.....he is dreaming....:lol:
My plan is to run this guy, put up $2000.00 and go for it.....I'll be surprised if he puts up the money and follows through.....I hope he does....this guy has a really big mouth and needs it shut.......
So what do you guys think????
