I haven't had too many true races in my '66 yet, but one I had was kinda fun. I have lost a few races because my car is stock 2bbl with a bad cam and timming chain.

This 3000GT flew passed me while I was moving through traffic. I tried hard to get next to him, but it was hard because the traffic was thick. When I did, the light in front of us turned red. Both of us dogged our brakes hard to stop. He reved the engine, and so did I. When the light turned green, both of my tires screemed looking for traction. I got a huge jump on him. I beat him off the line so badly that I held him off till I hit 90mph. My tranny didn't want to shift to third and lost my moment because we started going up him, when it finaly shifted, it was too late. He had the speed on me and finaly passed me. But by then we had already done a quater mile.


Another one I had in my Bronco. This one is a little funny.

I pulled up next to my friend in his Z-28 at A red light. We both reved our engines and the light turned green. He spun his tires and I griped(remember it's a Bronco with 32x11.5R15 tires) and took off gitting about a whole car lenth ahead of him. Of course he beat me, but the whole way I was on his ***, no more then half a car lenth behind him, going well over 100mph. Both of us have automatics, his is a five speed and mines a three speed.
