OK just one more and I'll stop.

I always built my cars very low key. My brown 1979 Mailbu really was not an attention getter but it had a lot of features that made it a great race car under the skin. I had a friend that had a duster. It was a 360 with nitrous, six pack scoop on the hood, and monster back tires. I talked him into a heads up race. So we are doing our burn outs and prep work and the duster lines up first. I decided to check the traction and goosed it. The front tires came up off the ground about 6 inches, very typical. I line up and then proceed to put it on him. We go back to the pits and my friends all come running up. They are telling me about all the side bet money they won because no one thought I stood a chance until the front wheels came off the ground.
