The trick was to give just enough acceleration that the other guy would take the bait as a race. I suppose there were a few fellows claiming kills on my cars ('68 GT 500 Shelby, '69 Mach 1 (that I won the NORPAC division in my class in '72 in), and '67 Sunbeam Tiger).

In a street race you never know just what kind of effort the other guy is making. He may just be trying to see how fast your car really is. Makes me laugh to myself anytime someone claims a street "kill".
LOL. Done this before and you should see the ricers (and NAs?) blast off like their life depended on it.
Just look like you want to go at the green by edging forward and they go like hell, always good for a laugh.
One guy who had be tailgating me went half a country block in the other lane with me just keeping ahead of him. I let him pass eventually at 70mph, I guess he put it down as a kill, those base Mazda 3s really fly.
