They both looked like nice cars? Was that 8th mile? It was wasnt it? Im confused why the Mustang pulled the laundry for mid to low 6 second 8th mile pass....
The small block vs big block doesnt mean nothing in today's hot rod world... Neither does brand IMO... Take no American V-8 for granted if its built correctly...
I liked the Video and both cars...
But Im sorry Smokin Woody's car pic looks tons better to me

I really see you guys have no idea what grudge racing is!! LOL So if we would have just brough the tree down slower for the mustang then you could understand? Maybe?

---

Actually , we do, but we do it on a .400 pro tree...

---

actually you dont! this was a race where something had to be given! if it were heads up ur pro tree would be correct..so do you understand now drag?

---

ohh so the one guy wasn't sleepin? So how is it a grudge race when one guy gets a head start? and pedal or no pedal the Chevy is a slower car.

The ford would eat his lunch ET & MPH if they both left the tree when they were supposed to.

---

the ford aint eatin nothing MY MAN PEDDLED TO STRAIGHTEN OUT...look at the vid and see the camaro go to the right.

Can't say I agree - it's hard to tell where the finish line is, but in the one part of the video shot from down track, I only saw the Camaro out about 2 - 2 1/2 cars, which don't cover the "leave" spot. On that particular pass - heads up and the 'Stang wins by several lengths. As to the "He had to peddle" - don't bring a knife to a gun fight - and don't expect to get much sympathy when a small tire car don't hook.

Where's Rich Christensen when ya need him to settle a dispute - this "discussion" would be right up his alley.

Or just turn the clocks on, put in your "spot" and race = have them turn off the displays if someone doesn't want their precious times announced - the clocks don't lie

That chevy could give you a half track start and still beat your turd of a pigblock to the stripe.

I think the object was for the camaro to leave on the first light and the mustang on the second.. Same as giving the hit...

I think it's more in the way it was presented, the tough guy thug know it all attitude and the lack of an explaination as to what was happening that set the tone for this thread. I was in the ghetto street racing on French road and Outer Drive probably before some of these guys were born LOL. I kinda understood what was happening, but not completely because we normally ran heads-up or just gave cars if a spot was needed or just let the slower car leave, which is what happened here just in a more complicated way.

Would it have been so hard to simply explain in English what was happening to those of us that don't speak wiggerese? We all like fast cars and racing, and I'd be willing to bet that 90% street raced some as a kid. Because some didn't understand the set-up or the latest hip and trendy thug terms doesn't mean they were hating on the cars or the racing.

---

umm i wouldn't go as far to say that it wasn't explained...take a look at the comments and before it could even be explained people were criticizing it for whatever reason they could find...so as far as an appreciation for any type of fast car, well i didnt see that here

to be honest, I don't see any gangster talk at all either in this thread or in how things were explained, and thats all I hear from people around where I am so i definitely know what it sounds like

maybe if it was a mopar people wouldn't jump to pick at things? still a great race imo

and please don't take this as an attack, just saying what i see here and I think some others do as well

is me saying the sb got the brake and clear to complicated for you???? sounds like your a real hill billy w a fresh mouth.I would like to say if you give someone car lenghts at the track..where do you stage in the water box,get your facts right.(street racing) looks like a track to me?

---

LOL, I'll take the hillbilly moniker, been called way worse So what was this "brake" that was given? Wilwood, Aerospace? Or did you mean "break"?

First of all, what's the first thing you see on the video? Seems to me it said "In the street with Real Street drag racing"? Second of all, if you're going to let someone leave, what do you need the tree for? Third, at no e.t. nights at Milan if they want to give up cars and the leave they don't use the tree, they just put the car getting the spot out the amount of cars given and let him leave. And if this isn't grudge/street racing just using the track instead of a public road, why not use a protree? Because it's street racing, it's just happening at the track. I know it's a tough concept for you to understand.
