I have been challenged to a Drag Race

I want in

My street Camaro went 10.90 on street tires all motor but it is a 548 with a BIG roller cam and aluminum heads.
His car on slicks should go 12.80 to 13.20 .

I will gladly invest in this race.

Tom,

We're all pulling for you and have confidence in your driving abilities and your car's performance.

But...........don't underestimate your opponent, this smells like a set up, or a ringer or a hustle. Be aware of sabatoge.

Remember the old adage, "if it's too good to be true then it probably is".
(did I say that right?)

If it's on the up and up then we have no doubt as to who will win, you.

Regards,

I know the car well Pat. It is a real pretty car. I never underestimate anyone in drag racing. People have made that mistake about my car. I think the guy will probably pull out when push comes to shove. IF not...it is on....Hell I would run him for free....

Thanks Mike....That is what I am thinking he will do for an et as well. This car is no where the car like your Camaro is with that monster 548 motor.

I went off the wall when I ran 10.9 with my car with my street Nitto Drag radials. Drove 93 miles to the track, raced and came home. Doesn't get any better than that. I am confident that she will make 10.4 or 10.5 by the fall with some cooler weather here or in November when I go to Georgia at SSHS8.

This guy who goes to our local roadside grill/saloon has a 1970 Chevy Nova with a 350 CI motor, stroked to 383.....

Around here, those are dime a dozen and rarely deep into the 12's.

Bet him pinks and I guarantee he backs off.

If not...change the NOS nozzles just in case.;):P:D
 
Tom...how could this guy be stupid enough to race for $2000 without even taking his car to the track to see what it runs? Also you suggested that he puts on slicks and he refused!!!!
:stupid:
He is either a real "dumb arce", or simply dishonest and setting you up.

Smoke him.....:burnout:
 
this guy sounds like he,s just trying to get under your skin a bit lol, but all in all a 70 nova is nothing to laugh about either for i have one here in my garage SS 396 turbo 400 456eaton 12 bolt posi the motor has all the good parts in it heads done 11.1 pistons etc the best time i ever had was 11.80 on a cool day but it will run 12.0-12.5 pretty much all day with a sticky tire , i would tell him to get a time slip first then come and talk to me about raceing the Panther
 
Just remember do not gamble with more money than you care to lose if it comes to that. Casinos were not built over people winning. If I was you I would race, but again if you lose the money make sure it is an amount you will be ok with.

If I gamble (rarely do at all) I always bring in how much I am willing to part with and will leave everything else at home because I don't trust myself to stay to my own word. I keep the debit card at home and the rest of the cash.

When he first got the car I looked it over bumper to bumper. He started it up for me and I completely check out the engine bay and more. The problem with this guy is his ego....a big ego. He backed himself into a corner this past Saturday when he challenegd me in front a bunch of his and my friends. Of course they started playing it up and then started betting among themselves. Funny thing (I was told on the side) it is 8-2 in favor of my car winning. And a few of them know cars. He'll probably back off and still want to race me, but for free or $100.00 in the end. Either way I am going to race his azz and will not need to change out my 100 shot, I'm sure.

Go for it Tom! You can shut this assclown down with your monster. I know that road behind the airport in Hyannis too :rolleyes:. Watch out though, he COULD lie, and put slicks on but make it look like they're his regular 15's or whatever he has. Try and take a peek at them if you can the night you race. We need a video too.

And I'll host the video - high quality - for FREE!!!! I'll put it on the home page of SSM.net!!!
 
Sounds like a mid 12 car to me...

Depending on his driving, I may be able to beat him. :lol: Although I won't throw any money at it.
 
Man... the more this topic goes on, it's starting to sound like a championship fight. We have video, money, pride and side bets. The only thing missing are the bikini women possing with the victor and the loser being run out of the local watering hole. BTW, who's the ring announcer?

Hell we might make this a Marauder event, party, b-b-q, wet t-shirt contest, bikini car wash and more:banana:. Smoke a Chevy Day:beer:
 
When you win, it will be appropriate for you to buy you and him and your collective friends drinks with the $$$$ he gives you. That way, everyone wins in the end.

"Nice Race Clyde, Pizza and Beer on me"
