I'm up at a local meet, hanging with some of the guys from my website, when a guy with a caddy comes up and calls me out.
I'm thinking "alright, I've seen it run, its pretty quick" , so I tell him I'll think about it. I've seen the car run before, I know its an LT1, I know its an auto.
I'm debating if I feel like it, and I see him way over by his car, trunk open, and about 10 people standing there.
I send a friend over to see if its what I think it is.
He comes back and has a weird grin on his face, and says "2 15lb bottles"
At this point, I'm impressed, and a little scared haha.
Guy comes back and asks if were gonna do this, I say "what shot are you running?" he says "just a small one" :laugh: And he wants to go from a dig.
I say "what the hell, I'll give it a try"
We go to the track ;) and line up for the dig. He wants me to honk (tree was broken) I say no, your an auto, you honk. He agrees.
I bring it up to about 2k, he honks, I drop the clutch, car leaves very well...
until...
ASR was still on and grabbed me like a BITCH!
He jumps out on me probably 5 car lengths, I'm pissed....
But I stay in it.
ASR lets me go, I hit 2nd perfect, the track officials said it looked like my dif nearly touched the ground when I hit the shift.
Hit 3rd, he is now 1 car infront of me.
Hit 4th, and leave him 3 cars behind.
Get back to the meet, talking to the guy, LT1, exhaust, built 4L60E, stall, Built 10 bolt, 3.26 gears...
And a 150 shot.
I was happy with my little el tee for :)
