My first Race ever against a Turbo Honda
« on: November 10, 2009 - 12:39:39 PM »
This was my first race ever and I was ready to take the car down the track. This was the local cruise night where only Grudge match racing was going on. I ended up getting paired with real cocky guy in a Honda Civic. He was bragging about how his car had a turbo and how many times he has been down the track. Watch me shut him up in this video...  :lol:

your just lucky he didn't have the neon light kit or the stereo you can hear from 3 blocks away. He would have won with that!  :smilielol: :roflsmiley:

Its only the 1/8 mile and I dont have a 1/4 mile time. This was back when I had a 4bbl I think. But my best time at the Track is a 9.02. Thats with a 360 with a moderate cam. I have a 416 that we are about to dyno and see what kind of power shes putting down. Im hoping to break into the 7s.

I know. I really want to find out what my 1/4 time. My fastest time for the 1/8 was 9.02 so with the help of some conversion tables it says I should be somewhere in the high 14's. I have no idea what my trap speed would be though.
