Me vs. 3.8
I lost, but this race really surprised me. it was sort of uphill. i got him off the line by a couple feet and had him for about 200-250 feet then he started to catch me and then when he passed me i backed off, it was only a one lane road 
it really surprised me though, first time i raced a 3.8 was before the cam, and i lost bad. this time wasnt as brutal

I think teh comment was not so much Calebs car but Chris's lt1 the problem is it's an apples oranges thing the lt1 is a good basic design and responds well to mods the 3.4 on the other hand doesn't
