          A 1st gear start for him would give you a great advantage. the Alison trans has a slow first gear, then 2nd starts to go pretty good. It may be close. Good luck, do us proud.

            I imagine the police will pull him over and not you.

                  Which highway, at what mile market, and at what time? I want to call the highway department and let them know so they are ready for you.

                  This is blatant bragging about illegal activity. I am surprised that this is promoted on this forum.

                    I'm not bragging and it will only be a 25 - 75 roll. How come no one else who has races on here has gotten mass at?

                      I agree. Thread should be deleted. Most forums do not allow " street racing " stories and I think this site should be one of them.

                        It is ok if you delete it I understand, but...... I don't understand why I have been singled out here there has been a story on here at least once a week involving a street race and some have vid proof. I dounderstand the point being made I just don't understand why now after all this time.

                            Don't think of it as a bad thing; just a lot of people that care, Bobbyspider. Plus, it's harder to jump all over someone if they've already done it. However, had they posted a video where they wrecked, that would have pretty much ended any support for that particular pastime.

                              just move to the arena... so i can respond in the manner where i can use colorful adjectives... ive always wondered what the world would look like staring down from my high horse and ive always been one to defend the asinine attacks on street racing for years... "its dangerous" is being played out too much... especially in these times where our government can lock you up for any reason they see fit for as long as they want or the fact that we ave messed our environment up to the point where the water and air gives us cancer.

                              the world is a dangerous place and you only live once...
