What's really funny is after i smoked a ricer w/my Superduty, is how when they finally catch up is they have to try and prove how fast their car is by weaving in and out of traffic.Of course this is fruitless because it has already been proven.Some of them you just have to show them twice.

I have one race story.. it was the only time I ever raced someone...
I was driving a 67 Ford Galaxy 500 7 litre...
Raced a Mustang 5 litre
Of course I won but the best part is
Later that day my brother who was living with me at the time came home and asked me if I raced some guy in a mustang.. I said yes..
The guy was a friend of my brother and was ****ed that a chick had beaten him...
Boy that felt good!
The galaxy was a fast car!

In my younger days, I partook of the midnight drags. Several times.
In my first race, I was driving my 87 2 door Tempo with a 2.3 and a 5 speed against my buddy in a 69 Datsun 510 with a "done" 2.0. I spanked him twice.
About a year later, I beat an 87? Monte Carlo SS with my 92 5.0 Mustang.
Those were the only 2 times I actually raced anyone.
Now, the only racing I do is against the clock, trying to cut a 3 1/2 hour drive down to 3 or less.

got 2 both with the same 78 bronco.
in one my friend with the bronco says" Watch me do a wheelie!" he dumps the clutch, and busts a side off the driveshaft yolk, and 2 sides off the U-joint. Laughed my **** off and he drove it to the shop with the front wheels.
second, in the same bronco, we pulled up next to a saturn or something with a wing. We reved the engine(keep in mind we ar about 4 feet taller than him) My buddy revvs the engine, turns the key off and pumps the gas, then starts it again. It backfired about 2 feet from the guys open windows. He screamed liek a little girl. We sat there laughing really hard while he took off and wouldn't even look at us at the next light.

(79driver) i never have raced, but i;m going to in a week or so. What do you think: 97 F-150 with 5.4, limited slip, stock except for 32 inch mud terrains VS. my 79 f-150 with 460 and ARB locker in rear. I also got mud tires. Its actualy going to be a tug of war in an open field. tell me what you think.
79driver, just a word of caution for you, if you do a tug of war, if you use rope,or cable, make sure you tie rags every three foot on the rope/cable this will keep it from acting like a rubber band in case it breaks. over in haspen acres,IND. a truck was pulling another truck out of a mud bog , they used a cable hook up. when the first truck started pulling, the cable stretched,then snapped, it recoiled back, breaking the back window of the truck, striking the driver in the head,killing him. true story, maybe others here have heard about it. what happens when you tie rags it breaks up the recoil. rope/cable do stretch. just a word of caution. have fun but live to brag!

Its awesome when you blow them away when you wanted to race, but whats even better is when someone else thinks their car is all that and you smoke it. Or when you pas someone and look in the rear view mirror and see them all ****ed off because you beat them. The only thing is, you werent even trying to race.
