[QUOTE="Fox Fan, post: 15903447, member: 49259"] I had a few runs, tonight. First, a 2015 mustang that claimed to have beaten Ozzy wanted a run from a roll. I was skeptical, but gave him the benefit of doubt and ran him. He wanted a 40 roll, too. I beat him handily after giving him the jump all 3 times. Then, a buddy of his named Brian in an SRT Challenger finally ran me from a dig. I was extremely disappointed in myself. After a pretty good launch, I missed 2nd, and there was no catching him. On the next run, I did the same damn thing. I made a pass alone to see what the hell was going on and hit every gear with a powershift... I guess I just can't do it when it counts. Damn! Finally, on the third run, I just granny shifted to make sure it didn't happen again. He was on an ET Street R, came out of the hole hard and got about 3 cars out through 2nd gear. In 3rd, I stopped his pull, and in 4th I pulled it back to his back bumper. He hit his hazards and I don't know why I just accepted that and let out. I'm really disappointed in myself. I need to get some seat time, get used to the shifting hard again, ignoring the other car, and focusing on driving my race. I was pretty surprised. The guy claimed only headers. We left the area we were racing, and I asked to see what would happen from a roll. Since he knew I beat his buddy, he took advantage on every run and jumped out without any indication. In the past, I haven't chased these kind of guys, but I really wanted to run him down. From a 40 roll, he caught me by surprise and just hammered it. He must've gotten about 3 cars on me again and I was thinking, "****!" But after successfully powershifted to 3rd, stopped his pull, hammered 4th, reeled him in, pulled about a car. I wasn't stopping; I wanted him to see my back bumper clearly. I wanted to put a bus on him. So, I shifted to 5th at around 135mph he after another car or two he must've let out. Hell yeah! In our second race, he wanted to go from about a 30-35 mph roll. I guess that's better for him.
