Had a little fun out on 29 early yesterday evening. My son has a 5.0 Stang with a supercharger and Nitrous. He reluctantly didn't squirt any in our rolling 15 mph start but I got him good. Side by side with me slightly ahead until I hit 3rd and then I was gone. He's got 4.11 rear, automatic, and runs constant mid to high 12's. I felt pretty good considering my 94 is stock except for smooth tubes, original plugs and wires. This is the first time I've played with any competition and the first time the rev limiter came into play. Kind of shocked me for a split second because I've wound her up before but never hit the limiter. I'll have to watch for the just before point and shift then to keep it going.
What was funny was going to our u-turn spot 2 State cops got on from the ramp and passed me. The one in the second car that passed me tapped his brakes and I knew what he saw. No front plate!
He slowed down, let me go by and then got behind me. Of course as I made my left he threw the blue lights on and I pulled over. Already had my license and reg in hand. I told him as he walked up "I bet you pulled me over because I forgot to put my front plate on". Yes sir he said. I told him I just cleaned the car 
and forgot to put it on but it was in the trunk if he wanted me to get it. He said to wait in the car while he checked me out. His buddy had turned around and walked up to the car. He said "great car, it's beautiful." I told him I was just getting ready to blow some carbon out of it but was delayed since I forgot to put my front plate on. He said "you have to blow it out sometimes" and we both just smiled. I figured the younger one who stopped me was trying to make brownie points with his Sgt. I got my license back, he let me put the "wonderful Parts Rack front plate holder" on and let me go on my way. My son met me and we did another rolling pull and came home. Got him on that one too. He said all he could hear was like a jet engine. No motor noise just a whole lot of exhaust coming out the sidepipes.
We had a lot of fun. My son is 22 and grew up with his old man racing cars. Long live Gen 1's.
