So I cruise out to the local spot tonight with a friend who is the know off where the good street racing goes down, and I was on a decent tune with a tire(et streets) so we were looking for action. So we cruise to this spot, which i never seen before, but it turned out to be an ok spot. A few guys are running for some small change(50-100 bucks) and I watch and enjoy the jawing back and forth between two chevelle owners wanting to run but the one was on motor ownly and radial and the other was on a slick and some laughing gas. The radial car was big block, but traction hindered, and to make a real long story short the radial car lost, but the key part of the story was the owner of the radial car swore the race was not a 1/4 but more like 1000 feet if that, keep this in mind.
So as they pulled back around, somehow my little v-6 gets pulled into an arguement about racing a s-10(with an undisclosed small block and spray). The guy said he would run me on motor, on the transbreak(which he launches @ 4000), and my backers who were throwing the money down agreed. So i take a quick look at the truck, it has slicks, drag suspension, and the owners friends spray down a long patch of VHT for him, and I got drive pavement to work with on my lane.
...So i drop the et's streets tire pressure and say F)uck it, lets do this.
We pull up, i heat up the tires, and begin staging the car. I bring the car up to about 5 pounds, and put on my lights which meant i was ready to go. The guy flaging us, raises his hands rather quickly in favor of his friend, and were off. The car spun hard to about 55, when it finally caught I was about 3 back, but pulling. I hit third gear, and pull to about his bumper around 105'ish when he lets off!! Where they were shuting us down was roughly a 1000 foot mark, give or take. I say if it was true 1/4 i come by this guy.
We pull back around and I mention that it wasn't a true 1/4 and said let's remark it and do it again, double or nothing. The guy nor his "money backers" wanted any. So i shook the guys hand and he was paid the 100 bucks the race was for, and told him I wanted a rematch, on a real 1/4 mile. I later found out the truck had went "somewhere in the low 11's" on motor. But could not find out anything else about it, besides the fact that he had 250 shot on tap if I would have pulled him.
I had a good time overall, and it was funny after that race, no body besides one trailered mustang wanted to run me.
