Seems Like Only Yesterday

You'd have had a good shot against the GN - since you (better than anyone) know what it took to get a stock one to hit a 13.8. The average guy wasn't going to get that. The GNX would have likely been a different story. But at the same time, the average guy in a stock,

I later got a chance to race a GN. It was tight race in 1st-2nd gear, but when I shifted to 3rd I opened up a couple car lead. After I shifted to 4th, and still pulling away I backed off. I slowed down to thank the GN driver for a good race, but he quickly defended his defeat by saying his car 'only had a V6'. I answered with 'and I don't have a turbo'. Apparently upset, he made a quick turn off.
