Mike (00silvergts6spd) mentioned blowing motors at the illegals and it brought to mind a race I had when I first started racing.
Tho I was young me and my brother in law had a friend of his do a few things to his 88 GT Stang. After running the track the 88 GT was doing mid 13's. I dont remember what the GT had done so I wont even speculate.
Our other friend had a 82 Toyota starlet with 13b rotory out of a 86 GSL SE rx-7. Mustang rear and a few all motor mods.
That car was supposedly running low 13's.
Then there was this Kid at the races lately at the time, whom had a Grand National. For those who dont know, Its a Turbo 6 cylinder. Wasnt this the motor in the Syclones and Typhoon's?
Anyways, the GN would never race. The kid just sat quietly. It was real nice looking. My brother in law finally approached the kid one day and asked if he would race. He politely declined.
He was asked to race because the mustang and starlet were beating everyone. Only losses my B-Inlaw had were to the starlet and vice versa.
So Mr. Starlet starts yapping and yapping and yapping to the Grand national about racing. The kid, maybe 17-18 years old, blushingly continued to decline.
So now he is embarrassing this kid and the kid finally says fine.
Mr. Starlet gets a lil heart and wants to bet $ 100 bucks.Then seeing the kid was hesitant, wants to bet $ 500 bucks. The kid reluctantly agrees.
After all the BS and hype dies down they line up to race. My B-Inlaw flags them.
The Grand National is even with the starlet on the launch and then proceeds to burn the starlet by what I would call 20 cars to 100 MPH.
Now Mr. Starlet thinks he is big and bad and says "you aint gettin any money from me." That caused a comotion. The other racers/spectators were gonna kick this guys ass if he didnt pay the kid.
The kid didnt want trouble with anyone and offered to give him a head start on the 2nd race. If he couldnt win he would waive the 500 Bucks. Everyone said coo.
This is where it gets weird for both of them.
The starlet launches rides a wheely and FLIPS BACKWARDS!!!!! The GN just contiuned as he had no idea as the flip came after the kid passed him. The GN continues and ends up blowing his motor literally and the cal Induction hood flying off.
The kid says politely afterwards, "I think I need the 500 Dollars to fix my motor."
The guy Tries to tell my B-inlaw "yo take me outta here I dont have the cash." My B-Inlaw says No, being that he wasnt the idiot who pushed the issue.
Some of the friends who accompanied this kid were gonna whoop Mr. Starlet's ass. After alot of arguing and pushing and shoving, the fight is broken up by the cops arriving to break up the racing. The kid in the GN follows Us home as Mr. Starlet needed to get a loan.
So A Blown Turbo and a Flipped Starlet, all in all a few feelings got hurt. The Kid later said he didnt wanna race or bet because he was running 11's Vs the Starlet's 13's.
It was classic. Both of the cars were confiscated from Police after that.
