C5, 5.0, and a 350 Hurst/Olds.....

I went out to the Gratiot cruise this evening and got some more good runs. I ran on motor all night because I am out of nitrous.

Too late in the evening to get a fill-up.

First race was a convertible fox GT with all the bolt ons and ported heads. I walked him hard. Not even a race after one gear. He runs 14.0's.

Second was one of those Hurst Olds' that they made in the mid 80's. He had a real healthy 350, with ET Streets, a bunch of braided line coming from what used to be the gas tank... We went from a 2nd gear roll. I gave him the jump and I pulled a car on him till the top of 3rd, where he just kinda hung right by the back of my car. We ran again with the exact same outcome. A very close race.
Third was a black C5 with loud exhaust for sure and I assume the other bolt on stuff as well. His was a 6-speed. We were sitting at a light and I did not expect him to run. He did not even look over. Well the light goes green and SCREECH!! He bolts! I was ready though and started a tick behind him. I ran up 1st right next to him and slammed 2nd and started inching. I shifted into 3rd with him only at my back tire!!!! By the top of 3rd I had only about a car on him too.

It really sucks going out racing without a full bottle. Everyone pretty much has heads/cam/etc... or a bolt on LS1, so anyone with that stuff and a power adder would have handed me my a$$. I just got lucky and never ran into one.

I kinda expected to lose my first street race in 2 years tonight, but I made it out alive!!!!!
