well look at it this way.... how much do you you think he'd have beat you in a full 1/4 (and remember those cars pull at high r's way better then they should)

a car length is equal to a tenth, a tenth is about equal to 10 hp

so IMO you didn't do so bad

don't race from a roll, thats HIS advantage

get sticky tires and run from the dig, heat them up and launch hard, you'll put almost 2 on him from the launch

go to the track to really make it fair and have ET slips to prove the race (and your win)

you'll get him low if you hook, and he'll be playing catch... when guys are under the gun they miss shifts too but he's prob an automatic
