Default Drag Racing!

I decided to go to the drag strip and run my stock and original 96 f150 other than exhaust lol. Well, as I ran it, people slowly started running me in there non drag cars, I won some nd lost some. I lost to a newer 5.3 Yukon who jumped me some, and tied an 08 impala. Here is a video of me against a 7th gen f150 with a year or to old rebuilt 302 and 5 speed. he kept jumping me, so I decdied to jump him once lol. In the end he still jumped me but I almost ran him down. Lost by a few feet, but didn't lose because, well, he jumped me. the night before I got some 1/8 mile times, with 10.3 with .273 reaction being my best at 71 mph. Don't have that video uploaded. Here's the link to me vs the 302 f150, enjoy!

This seems like the best thread to post this video in, check out the dude trying to keep the truck straight, notice that he doesn't spill his beer, or ever let go of it.

Holy crap at that fist vid. The guy in the black truck needs to learn the system before trying to race. The guy acting as starter was wayyyyyyyyyyy more patient than I would have been.

10s in the 1/8th would be about 15 in the quarter mile, kinda wonder if this is legit racing or the stuff we dare not speak in front of Lenn.

You would've had him if he didn't jump you!
