Frustration...

Lately i've been looking for some more action... ever since the '00 SS and i went at it, i've been on the hunt. (never done that befor) anyway, i was driving home and i saw a pack of ws6's and ls1's driving in the oposite direction... so then the next light i had i turned around... but then they were no where to be seen until i saw that they had turned around and was now going the same direction as i WAS going.

I was mad... so i drove home. Then on the way home i saw this orange '66 stang with 16's and white strips down it. So he was going the opposite way also... but i said ***** it, i'm going after him... he looks fast enough. So i hung a u-turn and caught up to him. Then i noticed that he was driving next to a primered '65 chevy malibu, but it sounded mean. then the stang moved over as i came up on them. So then the malibu and i are driving at about 40 waiting for a red light. we drove for like 5 miles down a main road with intersections about every 1/2 mile or so and i couldn't believe it! No red lights, not ONE! then a car pulls out left and finally a light turns red but its way before we get to the light... we slow down to about 20 and then about 500' before we get to the intersection, the light turns green. So then he just nails it and goes roaring by me. he pulls about 6 cars on me and so i said, "oh hell no you aren't doing that to me!" so i then dropped the trans to 1st and punched it! i pull almost all the way up to his bumper and still going... but we shut it down at about 90 cause there was a fat turn and intersection ahead. I was pissed cause my merc should have smoked his *** ... i just figured he had a nice 350. So the next day i saw that car parked in a familiar shop and i just figured he worked over there. So then the next week i'm talking to my cylinder head guy about cams and stuff... anyway, i happened to mention the race and i described the car, and he goes, does he work over on sunrise blvd? i said i think so, i saw his car there. He goes, was it kinda beat up, primered early chevy malibu? i said yeah... he goes, "oh **** ... i just built that guy a nice 383. Wow... well i'll be..." I was even more surprised then him... so, weird stuff happens when you seemingly can never get a race.
