LOL.. and I thought *I* was old.. :-p

Time/Place: Sometime in the middle of December, 1990. I think I'd had my license for abouttwo weeks or so, North Tarrant Parkway in Keller, TX back when it was brand new and nothing but trees around for about a mile and a half.

Him: 69 Chevy Nova with a built 500+ long block (can't remember the exact engine it was almost twenty years ago.. LOL )

Me: My dad's 69 Cougar w/ a built 396.

I didn't get spanked as bad as I thought I was gonna, but the funny part was hauling *** by the cop that was sitting parked on the corner of a sidestreet and North Tarrant doing 90+ and watching the lights come on after I went by... I just rememberscreaming"SSSSSSSSSSSHhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiii tttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!" and just stomping the pedal. I went over thehumpright before precinct line Rd doing probably 115 andtheboth front tires came off the ground. LOLI think I must crapped myself because my dad literally asked me what the smell in the car was when I got home. LOL.. Needless to say I took the lllooonnngggg way home that night.. hehe.. :-p Stupid *** thing to do running like that but I'll never forget it.. Never did see if the other guy got caught or not, it was some guy that was a year or two ahead of me in school. I wasn't paying much attention at the time though.. lol

me: 2.3 auto
him: mid 90's dakota
when: year and half ago, he was messing with me on the highway then takes off so I punch it and reel him in and pass him by about 1 car by the time my 85 mph speedo was pegged.

First real race was in the my dads 96 GT (check the sig) against some guy in a newer Civic, wouldn't race me from a stop so we go from a 40 mph roll (good for me because I can't launch that car) and I instantly put probly 5 cars on him and by 120 I probably had him by 10 cars at the very least. At the next stoplight I told him it was a v6
