Sibling Rivalry
My younger brother recently bought a 2014 GT500, shown here next to my hotrod.
Lately, he's been talking all kinds of smack....so we decided we need to settle this family feud at the track. We plan to meet at ATCO once the weather warms up. His car is stock but I expect him to add DR's. My car has the JRE 75rwhp kit. I recently purchased a set of Pfadt Tri-Y's/w high flow cats (Xmas present to myself) that I plan on installing before the shootout. I also plan on picking up a set of M/T 305/35/20 DR's. We both have very limited drag racing experience, and will both be rowing manual gearboxes. I figure I now have enough additional power to negate his previous 82 (stock horsepower) advantage. I realize I'm still at a weight disadvantage but think it will be a "drivers race" where whoever gets the holeshot should win the race. I hope I can beat him atleast 50% of the time because I need to teach young grasshopper a lesson and serve up some humble pie.... I'll post up the timeslips once the smoke settles in a few months. Looking forward to warmer weather. |

I think you are right, it will be a drivers race...
So practice, practice, practice! Master your launches, master your flat shifting and master the 2/3 shift! The car will look after the rest. Cheers Brad P.S. I'm sorry that you have a brother with poor taste in cars... It must be a great shame to the family...

Just make sure you have someone in the stands doing a video! so there is no "fishing stories" you know.... you beat him by 50 ft and the more he tells is you beat him by a nose

Whew, I'm not sure I'd be able to keep from disowning him after that purchase. Just be sure and put him in his place.
Exactly
