Default My first street race

I was 15, yep 15 I had a hardship drivers license in Texas. Driving my uncles rust bucket 68 puke green 383 Charger. That car was only about 14 years old at the time but was out of NY and looked like it was 40 yrs old. We raced an 80ish Mustang through the center of town, blew him away. At the next light I tried to do a brake stand and broke a motor mount. I thought that 383 was going to jump right out of hood. The fan cut the radiator hose and of course coolant was spraying all over. We walked to NAPA got a new hose and about burned our hands off trying to replace the hose and get back home before dark.

You had an excuse - you were young. Not too many years ago I tried to impress my wife at an intersection by peeling them out in my Charger. The motor hit the hood so hard when the motor mount let go I thought I'd grenaded it, and the top hose tore out and we were left sitting there with steam and coolant everywhere. Needless to say we had to walk to the store, and guess who go to carry everything back for being such a jackass.

That's not a jackass. (Laughing) A jackass was me and my buddy back in HS in 89. We were trying to impress a couple of girls and ran my 77 Cutlass against an 87 Iroc. Won the race, and at the next light decided to pull a chinese fire drill in celebration while the girls watched. All was well until I got behind the Cutlass and didn't bother to see the random patch of oil in the street. I slipped and bounced my jaw off the trunk. Lesson learned, celebrate inside the car, or just do a burnout.

Wonder if the ricers twist so hard they snap the motor mounts?
Probably unheard of to them.
