Didn't mean to stir up such a ruckus...
I don't consider gettin it off the light "racing" nor did I know that there were laws against "excessive acceleration." (I still don't think we have that here) I did not bark any tire or really get it THAT hard. Think, stock 87 5.0, dry pavement, wide 2 lane, late Sunday evening. No cars around, just me and him, so yeah, I was bored and went for it. I ran first gear up and barely touched second, as soon as my speedo hit the 45 speed limit, to fifth gear I went. 2.73's aren't that quick. I mean, if a cop was there and saw it, yeah, he probably would have pulled me for something, but to try and nail me for drag racing? I don't think so, unless he hasn't gotten laid in a few months. Anyway, shame on me, shame on me. Oh well, it is all said and done, so who cares now?
