Well, LOL you have to redlight sometimes just ta know ya'r cuttin' the lights that close.
I well remember one of my rare "good lights." I was never more than a casual racer, in San Diego I could not afford to be tearin' the Dana apart nor runnin around all over with low gears, so it stayed 3.54. That means the launch wasn't ALL that impressive
At the old Carlsbad strip, Sat night, they had a "tall" tree. I don't remember anymore, but I had that thing pretty well figured. Until one night what turned out to be a 383 Super Bee had waved at the starter (time trials) to get us side by side for an impromtu grudge.
I was in a bit of a bad mood, as I had to wait while he held me back, and the engine was "warm."
So I left that ***** I was SURE I was gonna catch a red, but I didn't. I could see that Bee in my outside mirror I left him so hard.
He came over, LOL, and seemed impressed. I never straightened him out. That was my DD, and it ran 13.0's with an 800 Holley. 440-6 RR.
