If he's confident enough to ask you to race, chances are he has a lot done to his car.

In other words you are getting hustled. Why would you race for money (essentially) against a car you know hardly know this about.

He is taking you for a sap, do you know this guy well? Who's idea was it to race for something as opposed to just racing.

If it was his idea to add an anti- you are getting hustled.
