The utter humiliation of defeat

I once rode with George as he dragged-raced on Telegraph Rd, Trenton, Michigan. He drove his Chevelle SS 327 (327 cubic inches). He had won all his races when a man driving a decrepit Studebaker challenged us.

The Studebaker shot away from the green light, shifting into 2^nd, going out of sight. He stopped and told us his Studebaker had a 500 cubic inch Cadillac engine.

George sold his car, bought a Chevelle SS 396. The Studebaker dude is probably still laughing.
