Tri-State Massacre - All you can eat

This weekend I drove over 600 miles and got in quite a few races in 3 states.

GTP:
I know it's kind of ironic, a few weeks ago I raced one and posted it on this forum. This time we went from a 80 mph roll and it wasn't as easy as last time. We went up to 110 and I put about 2 car lengths on him before I slowed down. Last time I raced together against a BMW and It was far more than 2 car lengths.

01 + Mustang GT:
This was the closest race all weekend. We started at about 75. I put it in third, he went first and I followed right away. It took me a second or 2 to even out and I SLOOOWWWWWLY got ahead of him, maybe 1.5 car lengths. Again I slowed down at 110.

A Mazda MP3 tried to keep up but fell way back.

Acura MDX:
Easiest race all weekend. This guy kept on cutting everyone off and every time someone would try to pass him he would speed up until there was no space to pass. Anyway, there was a truck in the right lane and I got behind him. As soon as we passed the truck, there was a huge opening with no cars in sight. I merged into the right lane and put it in third. I could hear him try to keep up but I went up to 120 and put quite a few bus lenghts on him before shutting down. He never tried to pass me after that.

Caddilac Deville DTS:
I was going about 75 minding my own business when 2 Cadillac Deville's just flew by me. I sped up and drove with them for a few miles, never thinking that they would race. After a while I got side by side with one of them. It was a middle aged guy, maybe early 30s. He gunned it and I put it in third and did the same. I slowly started reeling him in and by 120 I was a few carlengths ahead of him. I was really impressed by how quick they are for such large cars. I had more trouble with this one than the MDX. I slowed back down and they kept on speeding.

Newer Volvo S80:
I didn't know anything about Volvos really and I don't know which ones the fastest ones are, but this one was deffinitely fast. This was right after I raced the Cadillacs. We started at about 75 and we literally went at it at the same time. He got a little jump on me but I made up the distance right away. We kept even until about 90 and I slowly started pulling. By 120 I was ahead by 2 cars but I don't think I would have pulled much more than that.

If I had to rate the fastest cars all weekend it would have to be:

1. Mustang
2. Volvo
3. GTP
4. Caddillac
5. MDX
6. MP3

Btw, I was gate shifting each time. It's really funny to see how many people that you'd least expect see racing want to race.

The Pontiac was on Friday, everything else was last night. I had a few runs with the Volvo. Those were the best runs.

And no, I wasn't really driving to look for races. There just happened to be all these people who wanted to race.
