Yes it was at the drag strip, I do not race other cars on the streets. That is very dangerous and may cause accidents.

Nice to kill off a big block. We have a guy who likes to race his Lightning at the local track and I like to get side by side with him. Beat him everytime simply because he can't get traction. Otherwise I like to get next to the Mustang GTs and rarely lose. I have only been back to the track once this spring, I really need to get back out there again soon.

Have things changed since I used to drag race some 20 years ago? Back them you did time trails and your time decieded who you raced? It was all about who was the better driver , not who you raced. I was beating Impalas and Mustang GTs with a Ford 4cylinder EXP.

I get porsches, ferraris, mustangs, camaros, going out of their way and come after me for a street race, but since I abide the law, they think i am slow.
