That is a very common happening around here. I just point to the 351 emblems, rev the motor a little and tell them I do my racing on a road track. If they want to see how their car goes then come on down to Thunderhill and I will be happy to run with them. Now I have 30 kids in everything from junkers to nice cars telling their friends how the old man with the Cobra is afraid to race them. Doesn't bother me a bit and certainly not as much as geting a ticket or causing someone to be hurt while racing some idiot on the street. One Corvette did run off the road trying to follow me throught the curves going over to Shasta Dam but I wasn't racing him and didn't even know he was behind me until I heard all the noise and looked back. I stopped and went back to see what was in the dust cloud and it was a very white faced young guy who was ok but couldn't believe I had gone around that curve on my side of the raod and he was clear on the other side trying to make it. I think his problem was more not knowing how to drive than the Corvette itself as I just wasn't going that fast.
