I raced a 93 style (not sure exact year) T/A at the track. I had a bad launch, got some wheel hop and immediatly shifted to 2nd. That put me at the T/A's back bumper. At about the 1/8, I started to real him in. By the 1/4 I was 4 car lengths ahead. Just Kidding Really he beat me but by the end of the 1/4 I had made up enough ground that I finished with my front bumper by the front of his door. If the strip would have been longer, I think I could have beat it. I had started to pull pretty good.

This is what happen, I don't know the condition of the car nor do I know tranny or any mods, I did see the guy and he was probably in his low to mid 20's. I hate bad launches
