NO!

How did the car like it's latest "tune-up" Dom?

Re: VICTORY............................... - 03/23/14 05:11 PM

Everyone knows you can't street race in the U.S.A. I am pretty sure they went to Mexico. Good job Dom. With the offer of double or nothing the kid most likely thought you were holding a little.

Not a proponent of street racing.
Why not just compare time slips?

Re: VICTORY............................... - 03/23/14 07:07 PM

Apparently there`s a vid and I`ll let ya know guys. Yes it`s illegal and fun as hell when there`s no drugs, violence or alcohol involved. I wish I could of gazed at the wide band but I was huggin tha steering wheel and trying to shove my foot through the floorboard and watching me catch then pass him. I made a big mistake of rollin and then mashing the peddle and he left me but BB Mopar pulled and passed him. As far as comparing timeslips, well he`s a street racer and doesn`t hit the tracks so no one knows what he`s got. My last slick deal fell through but and old street racer buddy of mine from the 90`s heard about the race and is donating a band new pair om 29x10.5 Mickeys so now it`s REALLY on...........

What are the specs on the Nova?
Posted By: Thumperdart

Re: VICTORY............................... - 03/23/14 07:11 PM

Most Chevy guys lie but from what I heard it`s a 390 something small block stroker w/who knows how much nos on ladder, slicks and pretty light.

A good Friend of mine just bought a small block street camero and the owner told him it runs 10.50's. I can't wait to see that.

Did your cars weave all over and sound like Formula 1 cars at the top end?

Re: VICTORY............................... - 03/23/14 09:32 PM

I`ve got a few cop stories myself and before I shaved my head, I was pulled over constantly..............

Re: VICTORY............................... - 03/24/14 03:41 AM

I`ll hit a track soon and we do race responsible as weird as that sounds and I love it of course until someone gets hurt or arrested..........

Nice, hope to see the vid. I'm sure you kept it real as being safe and all, hope this doesn't turn into a bash about the occasional blast on the street

Posted By: Thumperdart

Re: VICTORY............................... - 03/24/14 06:49 AM

Ya out by you and like I said, it was last minute and we did it at about 6:00 pm instead of later to keep the crowd down and the safety up. There`s a vid on facebook under "high desert outlaws" so maybe you can check it out. I left late and very easy as you`ll see and have slicks coming tomorrow and plan on ropeing a few more in hopefully.

Thankxx and what`s so funny. "racing in mexico" or the fact that I idled out of the gate and was not sure if it would hook.

Re: VICTORY............................... - 03/24/14 02:27 PM

Congrats, and you kept the secret of what shes' really got!!
Posted By: 1967dartgt

Re: VICTORY............................... - 03/24/14 02:45 PM

Nice pass, you need to get it to leave harder. I don't think you have to worry in that spot in the video.lol There is nothing to crash in to.
Posted By: Thumperdart

Re: VICTORY............................... - 03/24/14 06:36 PM

My bad on leaving easy as I havn`t street raced in 10+ years and my slicks will be on this week ready for a few others who may or may not get me. Ya, nothing to hit out there except for maybe each other. I really wasn`t sand bagging although it looks like it and still don`t know what the car wants yet............

Re: VICTORY............................... - 03/25/14 09:14 PM

Pretty cool vid Dom, that street gets used quite a bit...I haven't raced down it myself in years, but been thinking about going out there for a pass or at least a launch to see what the 'Cuda will do for the sheer fun of it.
Again, very cool!

Re: VICTORY............................... - 03/25/14 09:27 PM
