: There is this guy that I work with, and he’s always trying to get me to go to the local ¼ mile track and race my mav against his mav. I keep telling him that it’s a waste of my time and money because he has a stock 302 and his fastest times are only low 15 seconds. When I first build my motor I just had to know how fast my car really was so I when to the track and my ¼ mile times where high 12 seconds. Since then I have made a few modifications to my engine. Ok lets make this long story a little shorter, today this guy call me up and say let go racing because he thinks that I’m full of S#%t and my mav will not run in the 14 teens. I know deep inside my heart that this is a mistake but I have had enough of his mouth and say OK let go. After I smoke him in the time trials (12:360) to his (15:005) I was not smart enough to quit I had to keep racing, after my 8th pass I thew a rod right though my block, can we all say OUCH. Does anyone have a 4 bolt main block they would like to sell? So if you know better then DON’T do it. Looks like I will be driving the explorer for a while.
