68 Fastback has no mercy on me
 
It was a fun night but not a winning night for me. The streets are still locked down tight. The runs were kind of spur of the moment.
My buddy ran his little 289 falcon auto against a 2002 Z28 6 speed. From a first gear roll they were dead even from begging to end.
I ran a lime gold 68 fastback Mustang. He has a built 428 backed by a 4 speed and a 9 inch rear. I don't remember the gearing. We were both running on tires and rims. Him on slicks me on ET Streets.
First run with this devil machine was a role from first gear. We were dead even in first then every time he grabbed a gear he inched away until forth were he just embarrassed me.
We never ran from a dead dig. Go figure??? So I uncapped my exhaust and we went again. This time from a second gear roll. Even in second and then he starts to walk away every shift he makes.
This thing screams! He raced with a passenger and both windows down. It has full exhaust and looks stock inside and out. No roll cage! Just a tach and slicks.

Did you spray on him, or just run the motor? I'm surprised anyone is running at all down there anymore. It sucks pretty bad now.

Gave it everything I had. Yeah its pretty dicey on the streets right now. After we got done running we headed over to another spot to find some action. The cops were sitting in between some buildings just waiting for someone to come running down the street so they could nail them.

That's nuts man. There are a bunch of us going to Carlsbad on Sept 14, I think. Bring you car, and see if you can get the guy in the '68 to come too.
