I pulled out on the highway this morning to go to the local gas station down the road and had to blow a little smoke, pulled into the station and a guy asked what was wrong with my truck, nothing he asked why does it smoke so much, I said it is supposed to it has a few fuel mods on it. He said, my truck doesn't smoke like that, I asked what kind of truck do you have, he boldly replied I have a duramax diesel, I laughed, he said I have mods on my truck to but it still doesn't smoke like that, he said he had cold air intake and a straight exhaust, I said if it's not smokin it's not makin power, he said so what are you saying, I said for $100.00 i'll show you, he laughed and said what you want to race them I said you took the words right out of mouth. I left him looking for third gear, beat him by over 7 or 8 truck lengths and told him it looked like he needed to adjust is cold air intake, got my bill and left laughing

 

Sounds like the best way to make $100.

 

Can I play?

I'm only slightly BOMBed!

Take two identical stock 69 chargers with 440's in them. Put a bigger CFM carburator, over stock cam, headers, and change gearing in one of them. Gee I wonder which one would win.

If you would have told him what you had done to your truck I seriously doubt he would have raced. If he still would have raced then that would be some thing to brag about.

 

I told him I had a few mods, I didn't think I was required to tell him that my mods where better than his Hey Got Juice? give me a couple of months to get all my stuff put on and you can sure bring me a durasnack

 

In all my days of racing i have never opened my hood BEFORE the race, Usualy just after. It's part of racing, ya gota con some of 'em a bit. (said racing is with my car not my truck.... yet...)

 

Yup, back in the 70's when I done alot of racing I never told anyone how much I had under the hood either, unless they asked. If they still ran me then they took the beating. If I ran a stock vehicle and won I sure didn't run around pounding my chest. What's to feel so proud about, beating a stocker with a modified vehicle. To me that would imply I couldn't beat him unless I was modified.

 

Had a friend with a more money than he knew what to do with.
He had an old Road Runner with a keith back hemi in it . Of course nobody would race him. So he would go to the other close by towns (Metropolis Il. being one of them) with a ground wire on 2 sparkplugs so it sounded like crap. After he would get somebody to race him, he would disable the ground ( a switch in the car) , rev the motor up to clean it out , then move up to the line and proceed to blow them away.


It was the only way people would race him.
