Lost to a 3.0

I was at the races Friday night when a 3.0 comes to me and wants to run. I tell him not really since I need to tune the hell out of this car but after further begging I agreed. We line up and I had him for about an 1/8 mile then he pulled about a car length on me and hit the hazards. After the race he said he shit a brick once I was ahead of him and didnt realize I had a stick. I need to start engine modding..

Why does the winning car have to be Primrose? Cardith Blue/Green Pearl Metalic is very nice indeed.

Just my two pennies.

oh, no doubt, i like all the colors, but us primrose people get ragged on for driving a pink/purple/gay/whatever color car, i would just kinda see the humor in it, i'm not ragging on other colors...

3.0's will beat a 2.X that's moded with bolt-ons. No surprise.
I'm sure if the race would have kept on he would have pulled even more.
Nonetheless, nice death.

Any night you wanna come down to Jersey, they run Friday and Saturday nights at around 12 until the cops run us out. Every week lately I've seen a few 1st Gens pop up.

Its a non residential industrial area that they have been racing at for decades, the only people that can get hurt are the racers themselves

There are plenty of people for you to mess with there. There usually comes a crew of Srt4's and a couple of Sti's and plenty of turbo civics..
