WOW, I think I met my dream girl Saturday. I was at the local car wash finishing up on my car and this yellow 87-93 hatchback with black shelby stripes pulls up. First I'm thinking, nice car. Then I see this gourges brunette get out of the car. Talk about dynamite! She walked over to me and started asking about my car. I told her what mods I had, asked about hers, you know how it goes....she had 4.10's a cobra intake, aluminum gt40 heads, exhaust, and a tremec. She asked if I wanted to race. I agreed, but I had one condition. If I won, she had to go out with me later that night. I thought she was gonna laugh, but she smiled and said it would be cool, win or lose.

Ok, now the race: we drove out to this 2 lane country road with fresh blacktop. We took off on her first movement. She got the jump of course, but spun while I got a good launch. By the middle of second gear I was starting to pull away. I barked third and then stayed about even with her. When I shifted to fourth gear, she started pulling. When we shut down, she was half a length ahead of me. It was about 3/8 of a mile long i would guess....not quite half, but more than a quarter. She wins the race, but the quarter mile was probably really close. After the race, we went to a local bar and then watched a movie at her apartment. We're supposed to do something again this Saturday. Maybe we'll take our cars to Cordova and race for real.
