Show Or Race?
 
I was invited to show at an after9events.com event, and since I have been removing my stripes, I wasn't ready to do a car show, I get to the gate they say race or show, I said let me get back to you and talk with my Car Club guys, They say either way is cool and just race, So I go to inspection and race at Speedworld In AZ. It was cool I got to race and hang out with my friends at the show and I could park my car behind my friends easily in between runs. So it was a fun night.

Get this I ran my best times ever,

I ran a 15.8 first and lost to a v8 trans am

And then I ran a 15.7

and then a 15.6

I was like no way this can't get better,

I was Hot lapping and hit 15.5

and I beat A Dodge Magnum V6 Not once But Twice!

He did like 16.0-15.9 on each run and I got 15.6 and 15.5 against him, I am still extatic that I won and can beat a dodge, It was a fair race and I got him on my launches both times, I had more top end than him because at half way we were neck and neck and then I pulled away by a little.

All of my races are true to what I say and I have all my time slips and I will admit defeat

Yea without my twenty inch rims I could do low 15's maybe a high 14 and with it tuned I could be looking good for not having a v8.
I will change to the stock wheels some day, but one of those tires needs to be changed first because one has a nail in it.

i'm calling this a BS. there's no way a heavy ass mc of your can beat a dodge magnum. who are you kidding? LOL[8D] j/k. i'm glad you race and beat the magnum it's always good to hear monte carlo beating any car. you got a nice car i like to see it person maybe when it get warmer and hoping to see you driving out this way.

so from looking at the time slips a stock sc 3.8 should beat that right? its because of the torque?
