    Get some electric cutouts and open them--flash them a rev and see if they bite. You almost have to be an asshole of an instigator to get a race sometimes.

    George--I am not saying to put it in neutral and rev it to 6k rpms...I usually just open the cutouts and flash the converter a little...enough for the other guy to hear you mean business...from there, its all up to the other guy to jump in and race.

    It's a lose/lose.

    What seems to happen with me is they think a truck isn't worth the time. Then I let them hear the blow off valve and then they get scared.

    No one wants to race me either but I do try to save it for the track.

    Ill race you!!! We will see how people react to a loud truck with a choppy cam. So far its stares. One guy asked my what was wrong with my truck, old guy, I told him I put a hemi in it!!! Friends said '' Your gunna blow it up!!!''
