Well most people know of my car now and start backing her up. Great! So here he comes over to me with his big stinking arse talking hick foul smelling breath and challenging me as loud as he could. I say no way Jose' and he just can't leave it alone, so he keeps at it. Meanwhile this is starting to get around the bar and soon I'm in way over my head. The Deputy sheriff, who happens to be egging this on, tells us to go behind the strip mall and settle this and that it would be OK. So.... we did.
We line up out back and alot of people came to watch us. The only other time I did this kind of true one on one with my Q was against the New Q, which wasn't even a contest. Had a few rides down the highway leaving some people in the mirror, but not like this, really having it on the line. So we get started and He bolts out like a cannon shot and leaves me thinking Ohh crapppp, What has this woman gotten me into. But then my Q kicked it and I took off like I never have before catching up to this arse and passing him and then distancing him to the end. Unbelievable!! I felt real power there! I loved it and I thought he was going to put my Q down, but he got dusted.
I think the distance was about 1000 feet or so. Man I'm so proud of this old arse Q of mine with the dead accumulators and now 253k engine. Still fixin' her up and still have a ways to go, so I'm not going to risk that kind of race again until she's pristine again. The cool thing was it was in front of everyone and I got alot of free food for a few days. I'll not chance getting dusted myself after that kind of ego boost!!
Sorry, just had to pass that along. Take care everyone
