My first race was against a Grand National, back when my car was just about 100% stock. Needless to say, I got whooped!

My first street race was... uhh... saturday :P
Anyways... I'm ridin around in my '63 Ford Galaxie 500 (with a 390... that's 6.4 liters for you metric people), and I see my friend at a stop light with his 98 camaro (3.4 liter V6)... both cars are pretty much stock. Anyways, told him I wanted to race... light turned green... left him in the dust and hit about 95mph by the time he was at 80... yeah, he gave up at that point... fun fun fun. :evillol:

chalk another up for Ford.

1992 Pontiac Bonneville 4 Dr SSE Supercharged Sedan (Stock) (That's a V6, 205hp/260tq)

Won! Yes, it is possible, the driver of it (my friend) sucked and the car is crap shape but he kept mothing off his"supercharger" which crapped about 2 days after the race, prolly an aftereffect, we didnt hit past 80 by the next light.

My first "race" was with my daily driver 1994 Mercury Grand Marquis (ie Crown Vic, cop car) against a early 90's Honda. He got me off the line (damn traction control) but after that it was all over. A 3400 lb car with 220 hp vs. a ~2700 lb car with 110 hp or so? No wonder it was over so soon :~)

my first race was in my friends maxima vs. a civic. the only reason i won is cause his car was a lot better then a civic. even with that it was close. haha. you can talk about racing all you want. the first time you do it, its different. needless to say , no other civic has got close to me.

I actually raced the same guy I race every time I go to the track.

Myself.

I rarely care or notice the other lane. I just concentrate on doing the best run I possibly can.
I will admit that I often find the other lane interesing after the fact :D

My first race was against a McLaren F1! I fucking smoked that shit. If it wasnt for my HKS and TRD decals and my Type R emblem, i wouldnt have won! My GT Wing on my Front-wheel drive car was so helpful. COOL!!!

1987 buick grand national. when i got her she was far from stock but far from what she is now. my first race (sort of) was against 2 199* hondas. they actually didnt even see me, what happened was i turned down a long empty backroad at about 1am and saw 2 cars stopped. i didnt realize what was happening until i heard someone spin tires. i only had the gn for a few days, so i figured what the hell lets see what she can do. they were about 40' ahead when they started, maybe a second later i floored it. nothing happened (turbo lag) then my stomach felt like it was in the back seat. i had to Slam on the brakes to avoid going through one of the cars. i backed off a few seconds then nailed it again, i played this game a few times before i got a chance to pass them. thats when i really fell in love with turbo buicks. il post my first actual bumper 2 bumper race soon, it was a 5.0!

94' ex civic with header, cat back, intake and I beat him by about a car length. He talked a lot of $hit like I wasn't good enough before hand so i felt good about it.

my first race was against a pretty much stock civic. it had rims but thats as far as i could tell, no exhaust though. iv got a c1500 chevy ext cab with a 350. it was stock at the time and i never ran it off the line b4 so my start wasnt to great i spun alot but i eventually caught up with him and got about 1 or 2 car lengths if front of him. iv come to realize i should put it in first when racing bc it ahrdly spins tires and iv also come to realize that my truck is a 4 speed with no top end, i get to about 90 mph and its redlining, i sure am glad i got a tach because b4 that i was rollin over my speedometer and well way past red line.

My first race was against a 1973 Ford Pinto. I was driving a '73 GMC pickup running a 6 banger with "3 on the tree". We decided to go "Best 2 out of 3".

First run: He kicked my @$$!

Second run: He yanked his shifter completely out of the floor when he went for second gear! :lol2:

Third run: There wasn't one because the other guy was holding his shifter up in the air with a "WHAT THE F*#K" look on his face.

So,....I guess you could say it was a tie! :grinyes:

My first race was with my 1930 Model A Ford with a Raja OHV converted 4 banger with 2 Stromburg 97's against a 1939 inline 6 cylinder Chevy. I won but lost later that night to a 1941 flathead Ford.
That was thousands of races ago.

my first run was a solo since I got to the track real early on a test and tune day and everyone else but the bikes was still prepping their cars. First run next to an actual car was against a Z06, he beat me 12.75 to a 15.9 I think in that run.

My first race was against a 93-97 Camaro Z28, in my 2000 Camaro SS We both got lined up by chance at a stop light. While I was eyeing up his car, he purged some NOS. I know the LS1's are faster then the LT1's, but what about LT1 with nitrous? I figured what the hell. The light went green, we both got great launches, just a small chirp from the tires, and we took off, at first gear he was at my quarter panel, second gear right at my door, third gear, right at my back bumper, then an Escort pulled out in front of me while I was doing 120, I had enough time to change lanes, but my natural reaction was to slam on the brakes. By the time that situation was done and over with, the Z28 was a few car lenghts ahead, and I couldnt catch up. Cool guy, we both had the biggest shit eatin' grin youve ever seen. lol

BTW i have a 4L60E
also BTW, a 3.4L was never offered in a 98 camaro. Only pre 97s.

First time out to the track I lined up against a mid-late 90's Civic. Driver had his helmet on and the car was on slicks. All I remember is that I had no idea what I was doing! lol Went past the final staging line then too far in front. I kept looking back at the track official for help and I finally saw the guy pointing ahead and yelling "GO! GO!" - I turn and see the Civic already gone (like 2-3 cars) so I just floor it and hold on. I ended up getting in front of the guy at the last second, pulled off a 13.8 @ 101 Mph. What a rush!

My first race was against a fellow Grand Am. Mine's a 2001 GT with a few mods, and I was racing against my friend's 94 GT with exhaust. We had been wanting to line em up for quite a while, but had never gotten the chance - so after school one day we went out and started with a rolling stop on a straight country road, and raced to about 70 MPH. By the time I was at 70, I was easily 3 to 4 car lengths ahead. I braked and slowed, and of course my friend did the classic "ricer fly-by" LoL. I destroyed him and it felt good - we both had a great time nonetheless.
