4th Gear race!

Well I have to say that today was the first time I raced anyone without taking full advantage of 2nd or 3rd gear. It was a late model 325 and I have to say that I rode 4th gear almost all the way and stayed dead even with it. The only time I would gain ground was when traffic got heavy and I would slow down enough to drop 3rd and pull on him. The 3-series is definitely a worthy opponent!! Those Germans make great beer and great cars!!

HA most of my mini races are in 4th. I spend all my time in the freeway so I've never been able to race anyone from a stop.

I guess that makes sense!
But I've at least been able to start the race from 3rd in most of the races I've had on the highway.

Germa are the best at producing cars by far unfortunatly not the best at reliability, that where Honda/toyota come in to play!

Oh I go to 3rd gear too...but that is usually reserved for when noone is around. I dunno...but I kind of get embarrased when my CAI is whailing and all eyes go on me. :p
