Raced a truck and a v-6 ford probe tonight.......

We got out of work about a hour early,So as i was leaveing and pulled up to a light,A guy i work with pulls up next to me.He has a 93-94 z-71 chevy truck,He just went thru the 350 in it about a month ago,And put in new gears and some other stuff.I didn't think nothing of it,But when the light turned green,He took off!His truck's pretty fast too for a 4 by 4!At the next light we come to i decided to power brake the car up to about 1,000 r.p.m.'s and take off,When the light turns green i gun it and get about a car length on him when i hit second the tires go up in smoke (just got the tranny rebuilt)He about pulls even with me.By third I'm steadily pulling away and i get about 5 lenghts on him before i shut down.He pulls up to me and says good race,Your car would probably be alot faster if you could get better traction,Which is true.We talk a little bit,Then we go our seperate ways.I'm about a mile from my house when this burgundy ford probe pulls up to me,I've seen this guy before,Hes got the v-6 probe,And while it does have a spoiler on the back and a somewhat loud exaust,It isn't all riced out.I didn't think he wanted to go,But he pulls up next to me and revs.I let him get about a car length on me before i gunned it,Man,This race wasn't even close,After about 6-7 lenghts,I decided to call it a night.It's been awhile since I've actually street raced,It was pretty cool.Sorry this post is so long,i just wanted to write about what happened tonight.

Sounds like some good races there. Looks like you did quite a lot to your 305

Good For You...

Those hi-powered 4x4s can give you hell. Good for you with the hi-powered 305. For once, one has been appreciated and not just ditched like an olds 260.
