Default me vs cam/stall ls1 vs gtp

finally got this race in with the ls1 i talked about on the racers bench. the video explains pretty much everything, it was about what i figured. I gotta get the 125 shot working now .

why not from a dig? looked like he had the street tires on you talked about. I would have wanted a dig, lol

He walked pretty hard on the first run, but you stayed on his door the 2nd time. A dig would've of probably put you out front pretty good. Awesome vid and definitely a good run.

Of course he would have won from a dig. A 4000 stall and street tires are useless from a dig. That is like bragging about winning the 100 yard dash against a kid with one leg.

exactly why we didn't race from a dig. plus i was too lazy to put my slicks on lol.
the 30 roll i spun a tad and just couldn't gain anything after that, the 55 roll was about perfect for me.

The camera person in your car also added some undesired weight, which probably slowed you down a bit.

eh i don't really wanna use that as anything since he only weighs about 130lbs lol. the gtp did have 2 passengers with him tho so he should have kept up a little better, he also still says there's something wrong with his car since i pull on him so much lol.

A 6 speed car with his setup would have been really nasty for you. I'm surprised you didn't hang with the stalled car a bit better from a roll. That's why he was quicker from a slower roll. A high stalled auto HATES roll races. I bet he'd trap 5mph or more slower than a manual car.

Great day time video btw.
