Re: Jeep VS others
In all of my Jeep races, simply getting to the other end of the track was
the goal. By that measure, there isn't a LS1 out there that can beat me. I
would gladly put my pink slip up against the fool with the LS, but I m not
sure I would want his LS at the end. I suppose I could set the course where
he gets toasted right off the line, then his LS would be salvagable later.

Re: Jeep VS others
The funniest incident I've ever had racing was when I went up against a 318
Duster. I was given a 6-8 second headstart on a 1 mile strip in my '88 YJ
before he even hit the gas pedal. Needless to say I got a good view of his
taillights by the end of the race. Man are those things quick.

Re: Jeep VS others
That's called "bracket racing" where we dial in what we expect to
run, without breaking out. So the taillights you saw could be losing
your race, and you win the money.
