Two races yesterday (went one and one)

Well, I had two small races today, if you can even call them that. The first one was against a 5.7 liter Trans Am. I was behind him on an on-ramp and I just knew he was gonna floor it, one of those feelings I guess. So we essentially raced from like 30 mph to about 110. He was definetly pulling on me until about 75 or so but then I kept the gap the same, which was about 4 car lengths up to about 110 and then I shut her down. I knew I would lose but just wanted to see what my TLs could do. I would say this was not quite as fast as the Cobra SVT I raced a couple weeks back because the cobra kept pulling on me above 75.

Later that night I was driving home from getting dinner and there was a kid in an Integra reving at me. He had aftermarket exhaust which I could see. I told myself I needed redemption so it was on. I was actually behind him at a red light. Until about 20 we were fairly even but I pulled on him pretty easy after that and shut her down at about 60 when I was ahead by 2-3 car lengths. He tucked his tail between his legs and turned off the street.

I am probably too old to be racing ricer kids in high school but what the heck :-)

I race those rick rockets all the time. They always quit early and turn off.

Funny, when ever i race, i have a hard time pulling 3 to 4 car length ahead of a car unless its a 4banger and very small mods, every civic that i have ever raced and they actually put in the effort, and were suped up i would win with about a car or so lenght, all i have in an intake....
