Jensen vs. Pontiac

In 2003 we did a lot of dragracing at Pannoniaring racetrack in Hungary. All the races were 1/8 mile and held on evenings. Here is a run against my friend Peter in his 1968 Firebird 400HO. Both cars run in the 8's.

My first V8 car

... a 1967 Dodge Coronet 500 Coupe, 318ci 2bbl. engine, auto trans. I couldnt afford the car alone, so I bought it together with a friend. Insurance and tax costs were really high 1985.
