good race w/ an RX-7

well a few weeks ago i was comming home from the beach and i ran into this RX-7. It's an 89 or so. Turbo because i saw flames come from the pipes (or i assume it's turbo). Well we get side by side, traffic is heavy and we are stuck behind a few cars. All of a sudden he ducks to the right and hits the emergency lane and cuts in..i'm pissed cause he got the jump. So i duck to the left and use the emergency lane over there. The freeway was clear once we made these manuevers By then the pricks gone cause he's just punching it, i'm at 120 and not gaining on him at all, so i give up. Well
3 days ago i'm comming back from the beach again. At the same exact spot i run into the same exact RX-7. The driver and i look at each other in a puzzled look. Like we are in a dream or something. This time i get teh lead...i punch it in between two big rigs and gain about 4 cars on him and hold them all the way to 115. We slow down for traffic. And we are weaving in and out when he gets out first and gets the next run to 100. Then a POS altima tries to get in but we leave him quick. 3rd traffic stump was a quick one..this time we were side by side at 80 and both got it at the same time and hung side by side till 110 when i hit 4th gear and my car basically gives up. Hope to run into that guy again

hopefully this will get me the most irresponsible race of the year award which is now owned by this thread http://www.acura-cl.com/cgi-bin/ulti...c&f=1&t=010477
which frankly i don't think deserves it.
