A riddle for you....

A 95 mustang cobra chalanged me to race..........he is a full race built 5.0 with a 150 shot of nos to boot.

this makes me lol. i mean are people that afraid of a little mini???? I mean its pretty quick, but hes on drag radials, and im on bald streets.

so why do i post this, cause i'm going to drag this fool! i pretty much KNOW that i'll loose, but hey if he doesnt get a good start, then MAYBE I have a chance. so wish me luck and gods speed!

whoever thought david would defeat goliath anyways.......

(p.s. this is 8th mile, so i have a chance)

it will most likely be on a test and tune day so they dont even show people what you run. you just get a time sheet.

the track is Lowcountry dragway here in charleston sc. ill let you guys know how I fair.

Just as a point of clarification, Foxes are '79 - '93. A '95 would be an SN95 bodystyle.

When you have a fast car, racing Minis and ricers is like wrestling midgets. If you win nobody cares, you beat a midget. But if you lose, you lost to a midget. There's no percentage in it.
