Guess what I did tonight? Cut my grass, had a couple of beers, then went to the local cruise-in at the mall. And it wasn't unlawful because I can't get drunk on two beers, but I'm working on it now.  Thanks for the great story Gary. Keep us posted on your next encounter with your Chebby buddy.
Well, I dunno. Two beers will put the smell of beer on your breath which is enough for a hardass cop to nail you for public intoxication in some places. And it's a (cop's) judgement call that counts, not yours and no breathalyzer needed for that one.

Sheesh. The Chevelle guy has watched American Graffitti too many times... Who does he think he is? Harrison Ford? LOL. Nope... Jeff Gordon...
To me the hobby is about what makes me feel good. A sweet looking car that is quick enough to scare me makes me happy. Sounds like that dude got bullied too much in high school or maybe was the bully that never grew up.
I’m listening.

I resently sold a 69 Bee I owned that was stock appearing but would run 12.40's at 111. The chevy guys were constantly looking for a bottle, they would even bring their flashlight. I finally put a licence plate frame on it that said too big for a bottle. I had one group that was so persistant that I finally told them I will open the trunk and take the back seat out and if you find a bottle I will give you $500 but if you do not you owe me $250. No takers. Danny Bell

Unlawful were in Michigan is this K-mart, I might have to make a road trip and either bring a car or bring you the bottle set up. Street race is legal here unless you get caught.

I would say this happened to me around 1992. I had a very stock looking 79 Camaro with a strong 427 in it. (I was running consistant 12.10's at the track and 11.00's with 125hp nos jets) I was cruising in a nearby town when suddenly I found myself being stalked by a 79 Pontiac Grand Am or something(Pontiac's version of the Chevy Malibu). It had a nice sounding small block, slicks and had a tow vehicle following it around. We were playing around a bit and he asked it I had NOS and I said Yes but it was off. He wanted to race so I had him follow me out into the country where it was safe to race. First pass and I had him by about 4 cars. He then asked if I wanted to race again and I said why since I beat him so bad. He was persistant so I finally said ok and we ran again. This time he actually beat me by a car length. After the race he popped his hood and basically showed off the NOS plumbing that had beat me. Then all his friends plus him were basically claiming that I was running NOS the whole time and wouldn't believe that I wasn't. So I had them all come over to my car and I popped my trunk. Then I told the guy that raced me to turn on my bottle. It was very quiet when that guy turned the knob and everbody heard the Nos line fill up. Then I said, now do you want to race me. They really didn't have much to say after that and that was the last I saw of them.

Tell ya what I say as I show him a $50 bill. You let me turn that bottle of yours off and we go right now.
I'm sorry but this statement sounds like a whining ricer. If he has more HP on the bottle then you have, HE HAS MORE HP.
Might as well whine about more cylindas.
If your worried about the bottle don't race him, or race him and loose graciously, or race him and maybe win against the bottle without one.
Just don't whine at him like a teenager.
Remember "hope you brung enough"?

Good job man  It's always fun to go after the ones who run their mouth.
Besides the bump, it's one of many reasons why I haven't gone to Lapeer. Too many locals/ya hoos hanging out there and I don't want them or their buddies to see what my junk runs.
I probably should have tried to read ALL the way through this immense thread before posting, but I'm gonna' reply anyway! 
Rich, when running at Lapeer, you don't have to worry about other people "seeing" what you run since they don't have e.t. light boards. Heck, they don't even have a friggin' ambulance for that matter!  I guess you can hear the e.t.'s announced over their scratchy PA system, but you can always request this to be kept quiet via a "NO TIME" shoe polished on the side glass.
Excellent story, Gary. I love to hear when the big mouths get challenged. He was obviously informed by his buddy that he'd have been in trouble without his giggle gas.  Too cool.

Greg were in Michigan is this Drayton plains,Dixie Hwy.south of Walton.What big city is it close to. There was a street car a 70 dart back in the early 90s in the area were I live and he use to get the bad mouthing about his car from all the Chevy guys, Steel motor 440, ported 906 heads, big cam, huge NOS kit on it. He won most of his races on the street but alway told us he never liked running the bottle on the street and seldom did. I use to think like some of the Chevy boys that got beat by him that he did use the bottle until he took in to the Mopar Nations and ran a 8:26 on a full bottle pass with full exhaust and slicks. I never new what the car ran without the bottle at the track but I would believe it was in the 9:00 range.Unlawful should give the bottle a try its simple and cheap horsepower now a days and lots of it.
