[SSE 4 2SS]

So, there I was, in my SS Camaro at a light and this other Camaro pulls up beside me....
I was itching, looking for a race, and here it was right beside me.... Hmmmm, should I or not....
I rev my engine, and "she" revs hers....I can barely see her over the window sill, but I know she is itching to race....
we wait, my LS3 in first, itching to dump the clutch.... Waiting..... Waiting........waiting.........
green Light...... Dump the clutch, hammer the loud pedal and go like he'll..
she jumps me off the line a little bit, but I'm almost neck and neck....I got lots of traction, but her car must be an auto, no tire spinning, it just goes.... I'm pulling up to her, door handle to door handle, her car grabs second just before I get to my rev limiter. my engine is screaming, the tires are straining, BANG second, jump back up with her...neck and neck, she hits third, and jumps a little further out.... my LS3 should be pulling her by now, we are approaching the next light....
I shove it into third, the magic gear for the LS3 Camaro and I know I have her now....WTF, I can't pull her even in third... I even it up, but just can't quite get by her, the next light is really close and we are going through 100 miles an hour, (wonder what the speed limit is right here). Neither of us is giving an inch. maybe thirty or forty yards before the light, she must have hit fourth, because she jumps me just a tad again....I'm pissed, WTF... I grab fourth just as we pass the light and decide it's time to shut it down....
we both back out of it and look for a place to get away from the area... it's dark, but you never know where the police may be hiding....
I follow her to a little park area, gotta find out what she has done to that damn automatic Camaro. I'll give her the start, but my car will dominate at speed... So I thought....
the park area is near a small crowd of people, and there are lots of other cars around....I park mine, get out, and head over to talk to her.... I'm excited even though she beat me, I promise neither of us knew who would win until it was over... we could have been on skateboards and that would have been a drag race....

no Cops, no wrecks, and no danger....




This was my second qualifier race Saturday night at Lonestar motorsports park next to the Hennessey Facility in Sealy Texas...
Kelly, that is one bad stock Camaro, and you are a driver, pure and simple,,, you reaction times were phenomenal all night....
I personally have never competed in a closer drag race....Even off the line, even at mid track, and so dang close at the finish line....
thanks to You, Da Hose, MLee and the multitude of other great folks representing the H-Town Camaro Club that I had the pleasure of meeting last night....
