[BowTie Eater 5 Liter]

Well, the guy at school who everyone kept comparing my car up to, got a new supposed 290rwhp motor built up for his car(he also has nitrous, but it isnt involved in this story). Well, i asked if he would take me for a ride in it, so i could see how fast it was. I went for a ride, and he was in the process of braking the motor in, so he couldnt rev past 5500. I thought it was a little slow, even for keeping it under 5500(he redlines somewhere above 8k), but just to see, I challanged him to a race today.

Well, it is lunch time, and i head out to my car. I pull out ahead of him & drive to the spot. i had a passanger, because when we left, so did he, but he dropped his off at the end to watch the finish.

There were a lot of cars(i thought it was just going to be me & him, funny how word gets around, eh?).

well, he turns around, and im sitting waiting for him. we line up, and phil flaggs us off. I get on the gas first, but due to some wheelspin, he pulls a little ahead(even though he is spinning???). i catch traction in 1st, and pull a little on him. 2nd comes with a nice soft shift, and i pull even. by the time 3rd comes, he is at my back bumper, and i pull 2 cars (and a bit) by the time i hit the brakes in 3rd.

we turn around, and i lay a 40foot patch of rubber. he said it was "really" close, and that he wad at my back bumper. I thought i beat him by more than that, WTF????

I ask some people who saw the finish, and they said i was a good 2+ cars ahead, so that is where it stands for now.

now he is going to fill the n2o bottle, and run a small shot, and i am going to advance my timing to 14*(i was at about 8* for this race), and inflate my tires properly, and loose a passanger.

what are my odds once he is running a small shot, and i do my timing??????

thanks
