Thanks for the well wishing. I think that it will be a good race, but honestly, I expect a loss. I can't be hurt by getting beat by an NSX. I will add it to my sig if I win though!

How about after the first race you switch cars and let him try yours and you try his?
Might enlighten him a little bit, if getting beat doesn't do it.

Who cares about the car, could have been a wuss driver for all you know.
And Scott races too, and I'm not talking at the strip. SCCA! He's an amazing driver. If you're going to be a troll, you are not allowed to call BS on anyone. I've been in his car and he pilots it very well. BTW I've also driven it!

Yes. I had a grizzly street clutch but the clutch disc went, and I wanted something stronger. The pedal feedback on the spec is lighter than stock, it feels like nothing is in there, but it does grab very well.
I didnt dump the clutch off the line, I have been slipping it off the line.

Whoa I didnt expect my harmless comment to be torn apart by the ignorant.
It was on a roll on the back straight from about 70 to 135, I did not beat him we kept perfectly side by side, but that alone was enough to piss him off.
Off the line it is very clear I would have my ass handed to me as I get absolutely no traction in first or second.

Good luck and represent.
I don't see anywhere that he said LS1?? You realize that there was an SS Camaro with an LT1 right? They run about a 13.6-7 stock. 
And by saying "well maybe he wasn't racing"??? Well I don't know too many people who go around punching their steering wheel for no reason
