Results of the Race!!
---------------------

Well we met up and went out to the street to race. I stupidly pulled off in the dirt and got my tires dirty. I was running my stuipd bald 225/50 radials. I told him he could have the jump from about a 5mph roll and I would nail it after him.

We went he nailed it and hooked good, I nailed it and instantly spun bad, while he pulled another car on me. Z28 is about 2 cars ahead now. I am spinning like crazy in second and tryin to baby the gas to get traction. The Z is still pulling and Im about 3 cars behind now. I finally shift 3rd, being about 3.5-4 cars behind him, and I think I probably have lost. I powershifted 3rd hard and start pulling. I wind out 3rd and powershift 4th pulling up closer and closer on him. I get next to him and pull past him easily. We continue on to our set mark at the end and I win by about 2-2.5 cars lengths.

It was a damn good race and I would have won way easier if I had sticky tires. IM going to get a set of 245 or 255 drag radials as soon as I can for the street, because I am sick of almost loosing on street tires.

We talked afterwards, and hes gonna go to the track with us next time we go out. Its definatly a strong running car and I give it a lot of respect, I almost lost! Ive never fallen so far behind before!
