Congrats on the Hole Shot Win I have to think he would have won if you left together though
Nice Truck

nice job! You tollatly wasted him at the tree! Either he was sleeping, or he dosen't know what a pro tree is. I'll reserve judgement on who had the quicker et. The camera angle can often make it look like the slower car is faster.

Sorry, but I would have put my money on the Camero. Was this a heads up? watched the video, Either he was sleeping or waited for the green LOL. Or, you red lighted, couldn't tell by the video. Either way you beat him to the finish line.
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

He ran a 11.51 @ 119 I have no doubt that after he gets it to where it will 60 ft he should beat me every time. I will give him a rematch because I dont grudge race so I could care less if he wins.

I agree that his combo is pretty mismatched. He will be hitting it with alot of nitrous in the future so the converter might be close to being right for that.As far as a glide for that car I dont get the logic behind that either.
