Very close races!! Both extremely fast too.

Funny how it takes a modified Vette to kill off an old Firebird with N2O. What ever happened to the good old days when races were with 'real' fuel? :beer:

I agree 100% the 'vette owners spend too much money to get what they can pay HALF (or less) for in a 'bird.... maybe that's why the F body isnt around any more?

The Game what we all play in the street/strip
The Game is what we spend all our hard earned money on.
The Game is muscle car vs muscle car, Money vs brain cell.
The Game is what we risk bleeding fingers, burned knuckles, stripped bolts, and sleepless nights for. It is the competition. It is the power, the adrenalin rush, the chance to become legend, the glory of prestige, the thrill of victory, and the fun we share with other Gamers.
The Game, we all play it, one way or another, we all play it. Embrace it or sell the car.
