Best race EVER!! Im still shaking.. :-D

I have no idea what a 79 Elcamino weights, but its a pretty nice lookin car.

His combo must not be sorted out right though really. It sounds mean as hell though, like a full out dragster.
He's swapping on a Deamon 750 carb next week and loosing the edelbrock.

The sad thing is this thing is a trailer car for the track and can't even run street gas!

My car could be a daily driver and I ran <b>87</b> octane during the race!!

I wish I had a better launch so I could have won, but thats the way it goes.

This race was almost identical to a race I had when I got my car up and running a year ago against a heavily modded 97 camaro z28.
Same exact results except I won by a fender.
The first gear spin, fishtail 2nd, let off, nail it, powershift 3rd, gain even, powershift 4th and I held a fender ahead the rest of the way.

That camaro had 11.5:1 compression too
