.....well it sorta looked like one. At the LA County drags this weekend there was a small turn out of Vipers, so they paired me up with a Stingray. The smoke in the picture was from his burnout, not mine.
I had the better reaction time, but somehow it just made no difference. While I was rowing through the gears, he was opening his parachutes, 4.6 seconds ahead. It was a neat experience.

I try not to race against cars that are gonna smoke me. If they cross the center line I'm gonna T-bone right into them. It's not unusual for super fast cars to cross over. I've seen it many times.

Joe:
I wish I could do 109 in the 1/8th. LACR is at 2710 feet elevation and I only run about a 95 (1/8th) at sea level, so it's either an error or it is at the 1000 ft. mark (although the 1/8th mile ET is about right).

Trey:
I have Borla headers/exhaust, high flow cats, lighter flywheel, 3:45 gears, and ET Streets.

Glad you had a good time Greg, sorry Mike and I bailed early on you, I had a clutch problem and Mike just wanted to go. We waited for a while to say good bye but you never showed so we left.
