Default Ricers Invaded the track tonight

I got to the track around 5:00 tonight and usually theirs a couple cars there. Everybody gets their around 6 or later. Damn, I thought i was in the national import meeting or something. The WHOLE pit area was covered with nothing but rice. Me and a guy in a 69 Camaro were the only american cars there I went about my business..me and a couple guys on my crew. Unloaded the car and decided to set the wheelie bars a little lower than normal cuz i had a feeling it was gonna come up in a hurry. So i walk up to the track before anybody runs and walk on the starting line to see how much sticky it was. My foot about got stuck to the pavement so i knew it was gonna be good. I hurry back to the pits Fire the stang up and hurrily get in line before it gets too packed. I swear when my car started up all the ricers ran. it was hilarious. They just stared at it like they never saw anything like that before.haha So i do my burnout and stage the car. All the ricers ran to the fence to see a real car run. I brought the revs up and all of a sudden it cuts off?? I'm like WTF? So try to restart it and it wouldn't fire. Luckily the track crew was friendly. So i finally get it restarted and stage bring the revs up again and let it rip. Blistered down the track on all three stages to a 4.32 174mph. Fastest time yet in the car. All in all it was a good night. I only ran twice because the car keeps backfiring through the carbs. So that's more work i got to do to it.
