    ok so yesterday on saturday i was spending my day doing community service helping for the sunshine festival... well all day through town im seeing badass cars go by but i never heard about a carshow that day.. so towards the end of the day me and my friends are pretty much done, standing around, and to my surprise a bitchin '67 stang that was blue with white stripes drives by and i can definatly tell it has a 6 cylinder.. so i tell my friend, "damn i needa chase him down and race his ass." so i hop in my car and follow in the general direction he was going.. well i find the car in the walmart parking lot and wait for them to come out.. finally a guy comes to the car and i say "nice car, got a 6 cylinder in her?" and he goes "wanna find out?" so we proceed to the last row in the parking lot that is totally empty and open.. and the way we were going it was a little up hill even.. so we line up and he yells 1-2-3-go!! well to make a long story short i kicked his ass by like 3 cars and he didnt even stay to talk about it, he just drove off... hahahahaha i win..:bananaman

    He is too young to know who Alan Funt is. His generation would be on "America's Funniest Videos" or "World's Wildest Police Chases."

    the I6 from the 70's did flow a little better then the heads on 60's mustangs with the smaller intakes :)

    now imagine if you had your new carb on :)

    That's what you think ;)

    I work at the place and I know they can't record every camera at the same time. Maximum is 5 or 8 of the cameras at once (i forget)
    but I know we've had things not caught on tape before that shoulda been but only certain cameras record.

    Anyways, Id be very careful racing in parking lots... can cause lots more problems than it's worth

    I have a story about racing in a walmart parking lot, Well it was the access road behind the walmart. LONG and FLAT, just screaming to be raced on. So we did and my bud wrapped his camero around a pole, he ended up havin 2 broken legs, lacerated liver, punctured lungs, broken ribs, broken nose, 2 broken eye sockets, BUT he still has all of his teeth amazingly.

    DONT RACE AT WALMART as funny as that sounds its not
