Default Who won, the Fiero or me?

I raced King of the Hill in Vernon last Saturday and this was the final race for the whole shabang. A Fiero with a 350 (you can hear it) vs. me in my lowly 2003 C5 vert with exhaust and Blackwing. It looked close but I think I took it, they gave it to the Fiero.

In the vid the first car was an '11 Genesis, that took me to the finals.

Kind of hard to tell because the camera person lifts the camera up at the finish line.

Oh, and is it just me, or does that "hill climb" look like an oval track?

And that Fiero took a guy in the black C6Z, you can see it behind the blue Genesis in the pic.

Close those headlights, and you would have had it by even more.

Looks like ya won bud, and that certainly does sound like a V8 Fiero. Doesn't the inside lane have an advantage on distance? And the outside on speed?

They're automatic pop-ups and it was dusk.

It looked like you had him, but it might have just been the camera angle.

You're not getting the car sideways nearly enough.


Hard to tell with the camera at the line, looks like you had it though. Also looks like he caught you right after the line.
