1st race in the TA, 2 weekends ago I'm over at a friends who is helping me get my timing right in my 81 w/ a 455 that I'm just getting on the road after 2 yrs of working on it, another friend I havn't seen in about 15 years comes driving up in his 69 Ford truck w/ a 428 Cobrajet motor in it, he's had it since high school but he just got done spending a bunch of $ rebuilding the motor, heads, and rear in it, anyway, we go run em.
Out of the whole we are pretty close, but once the TA gets traction I pretty much took off and leave him, end up beating him in the 1/4 by about 5 or 6 car lengths, he swears I have nitrous, which of course I don't, I saw one of his friends at the store and he told me he's been working on his truck ever since and wants a rematch when he "gets it all right", I told him all this talk about nitrous in the bandit maybe he needs to put it in that Ford if he wants to keep up, we'll see when he gets it all right.
