Thousand dollar bet (not me betting, but he chose me to drive for him). 79 Malibu, 9 inch slick 355 with Canfield heads against a tubbed 6-71 blown BBC Monte Carlo. He did a wheelstand, I pulled the front wheels but got down fairly quick because the car had suspension limiters up front. Got out of the hole and floored it, RPM switch kicked in and I beat him on spray, pulled hard on him past mid track. Only race I've ever been in for anything more than pocket change. Gotta hand it to the engine builder, tuned the hell out of that smallblock for only having about 3k into it (ran 9.72 in a 3600lb car.)
