Sometime back on a Saturday night we're all hangin' out at the local Shuck's waiting for a run when this old 1968 Nova wagon comes creepin' in sounding wicked as hell. Presently, he ambles over to the snake and eyeballs the motor (the hoods up as always just chillin') and asks for a run. I go over and look at this plain but pretty small block all motor car, walk around and check the tires, slicks huh? So, we head off to one of our spots and line 'em up. The arms drop and I launch well with a hint of spin and watch this thing jump three cars instantly. It's dead even through first and as I hit second so does he. The Nova pulls the front off about 4' or so and comes into my lane by half a car. I lift for a sec. to let him get it back and jump back in it. third comes hard with a bit of twitch and I start walking him down. I'm down to a car behind and pulling hard when I jam fourth into the gate. She hangs and I coast across in nuetral three cars back. Damn! My first loss after 38 straight wins because of pilot error. We mosied back to Shucks and I gave him his due so he promised another run. I never got the run though. I guess he was watching me come on hard and just didn't want to try it again.:shrug:
