Not the truck, but had our first Team race at Firebird today. Second time trial I was paired another 64 Nova. Pretty cool two shoebox Nova's, dang near identical (red) r/t's, and simply stuck together all the way to the stripe with a 0.003 difference in ET and 0.005 interval at the stripe. This was just way too cool. In a class where were us few door cars are running 170 MPH dragsters and to have two 64 Nova's
Check out this time slip. If he had another 5 feet of track I bet he would have inched ahead. He was coming on pretty hard on top but ran out of track.

Pretty sweet time slip. Who went red?

Marv D · 03-28-2010, 11:53 PM

BOTH of us. Me first with -.003 red and his -.001 red. It was just time trials so we were both taking a shot at the tree. Then me crossing the stripe 0.005 ahead of him, us both running within .005 of the same ET, and within 0.04MPH of identical speeds.,,,,just to freeky.

That's one heck of a close run. Bet it would've been like seeing double watching. lol. Other car the same color by chance? Chris.
