Default SRT 10 goes down 'Short Novel'

This is how it happened. Saturday night at Jax raceways . A srt10 reg cab showed up . It was 80 degrees and the track sucked as per normal. I called the starter to line us up and he laughed , but stepped up anyway. He spun his a$$ off and I babied mine and pulled way ahead. Props to my mickey thompsons. Not even that viper engine could bring back the lead, although he was pulling hard late in the race. I didn't have the bottle in the truck , but the timing was pulled for juice.Please dont flame as I know my truck is not faster , but I did get the win light. Nothing any haters could say could would take away the feeling of answering the same question over and over that night. "why yes this is the truck that beat that viper truck". There should be some eye witness folks to back up the story . I know freedom and his lightning was there because he handed me my a$$. HELL YEA CHEVY

I was like when I saw it happen. I was trying hard to get lined up with him to no avail. Good race, dont matter what you got if you cant drive it you lose....this shows that.

A little visual, here is me with a QC srt-10 a few weeks ago, right click save as....

Nice kill. If he can't drive, he shouldn't race.

Good job!! I've done the same thing as I'm sure alot of racers in here have. It's not necessarly who has the faster ride will win a race. I've beat several cars and trucks in time trials because of the same thing, better driving on that particular race. Only later to see the car or truck I beat running alot faster times than I can because the driver finally figured out how to drive it.

Congrats. A win is a win in my book. 500hp might as well be 250hp if he doesn't know how to control it
