Man I've been in so many races its hard to remember any of them! The one that sticks out most in my mind happened this spring just after I got the 94 back on the road. I was headed up to "The Avenue" to see who and what was out. Just so happens I merged right behind this black Fox Body GT and low-and-behold I see these big red Aeromotive fuel pumps hanging down from the rear! I remember thinking 'he's got a big blower!'

So I pulls up next to 'em (there were three of them in the car) and asked, "What kinda Blower ya got?" His answer was, "Dude, this is Craigs old blower". I guess he assumed I knew Craig, and also assumed I knew which old blower of his that he had. Well he assumed right! I'm good friends with Craig and I knew that he had recently sold his J-trim.

He then proceeds to tell me that the blower isnt hooked up because he's waiting on his new computer to come in. I said, "Thats ok, my nitrous isnt hooked up either". I then asked, "Whats it run the way it is?". He says, "Nines". I chuckled and said, "No, the way it is!" He replied, "Twelves". Being the bear for detail that I am, I asked, "What, low twelves, high twelves?" He doesnt say a word, Just gives me the thumbs down, as if to say low twelves! So we drive next to each other for awhile until I mention rolling on just after the next light. He was quick to accept my invitation!

Keep in my mind that I had just gotten my car back together. It still had the 19lb injectors, 65mm TB, and JMS Chip. Also, not only was this going to be my first race with the TKO, it was my first race with a 5 speed in my 94. I took out the DOA-E!

The Race:

The light turned green and we both rolled up to about 3000-3500 rpm in first. After I looked over and gave him the friendly nod we both hammered it! All four tires went up in smoke! (mine and his) Neither of us went anywhere in a hurry! By the time I was done with second I had no more than a half-a-car on him. The race was over at the top of third whereby I had about 2 cars on him. I was still pulling on him, but I felt no need to continue.

So I turn off at the next light thinking he would be turning behind me to talk about what just transpired. NOPE! He went straight and I havent seen the car since! I laughed my *** off the whole rest of the night because of that! I remember thinking 'Low twelves my a$$, that car will barely run low fourteens!
that was fun!
