I have been bugging my cousin for a race for the longest time and he finally said yes this weekend. My cousin has a 78 trans am with 4 speed 6.6 liter engine. His car is 4250# with him and two other people in it and mine was about 3560 with just myself. We have a 1/4 mile strip set up on a little rural road close to our house. Here is how it went. He had a great start with no burnt rubber, and he got a good 1 car lead on me. I had a decent start with no tire spinnage but was a little low on the rpm's. I quickly went to redline in first and second and heard my cousin chirp third at the same time I was shifting to third. I was gaining on him and the look on his face was worth the *** beating when I got a half car length on him at the end in the 1/4. He never got out of third and neither did I. I think if it went to forth I would have still beat him.

I wish I had a better start but I can't complain because I have the bragging rights on him. The only thing he could say..."I only paid 3,500 for this and you have a 30,000 dollar car. He wants to go again...I am going to make him wait a while ......I like having the upper hand now!

Don't be affraid on them big boys...I thought he would beat me by a couple of car lengths...I was quite surprised!

You need to get your butt out to KCIR and race!!!

I ran a late 70s TA yesterday. He ran a 12.1@114mph to my 14.7@94mph. I almost had him There was an automatic 96 Max there that ran a 16.0@86mph.

That is one fast fire chicken! I am not sure if my cousins car is in that catagory....but I do know it has sick power! I would have figured I would have lost by at least 5 car lengths. My cousin's TA doesn't have a working tach so he was probably taking it easy....that is until he got worked over by the MAX!
