I was sitting at the local Auto Zone in my '71 340 Demon I had. It was .030 over, "X" heads that were ported and had a solid flat tappet with .587/255 @ .050 and a air gap intake with a 750 Holley. 4000 stall and 4:56 sure grip.....A local chebby clown showed up in his '70 nova. He is running a 406 w/ aluminum brodix heads,roller cam,Victor jr intake 750 Holley,loose converter and 4:88..Plus he had a 200 horse shot. We agree to meet on a local 4 lane. ( it already has the 1/8th marked off) HIS buddy gets out and flags. We take off about the same. Hit 2nd, pull him a car, hit high,pull him another car. Cross the finish line and there were 2 cars between us. He went straight home!!!
The next morning he is at my door asking to see my nitrous set up!!!!! I like to come unglued...I've NEVER even had a nitrous set up EVER...I told him he could take my car apart...Then the more I thought about it the madder I got.
I grabbed him by his arm and PUT him in his blowtie truck. I told him to take his sore loser *** back home and buy a Mopar!!!
That was the LAST time I ever street raced till I raced a buddy's B5 blue '09 Hemi Challenger R/T auto with my 'ol ladys '09 6 speed Chally...I won that 1 too.
