Update on father son race

Ok everyone we're back and here are the results. We did this early and went fishing but then it started to rain a little so we came home. Ok we had 7 races total and i won every single one. First 3 races were from stop, we had my little bro stand in front, in between both cars and drop his hands after he said ready, set go. I revved up to about 2 grand or a lil more each time while holding the break, and used SS, btw i have a 99. He spun every time and couldnt get any traction off the line and i beat him about 3 car lenghts every time. What he did before the race, was he made his trip computer 0 and rove a half a mile and let down some cones and did the same for one mile. These first 3 races were half mile races. I beat him all 3 times. Then we did a 5 mile and hour rolling race 3 times. The first race i got the jump on him and started to pull pretty nice at around 40 mph, this race i had about 2 1/2 car lengths to about 3 cars ahead. The 2nd time around he got the jump on me and pulled ahead, but i stayed at about 1 foot off his front bumper and then pulled on him at about 40 mph, i only got him about 2 cars maybe less. The third one was a repeat of the 1st rolling race. Then we had a full mile race. I vevved it up and we took off at the drop of arms. We went at it hard, man it was so sick, i hit about 85 when i seen him slowing down and hi-beaming me. I turned around and went back. He said ok you win no more. He said once he was doing 60 it wasnt moving fast up the speedo, while i kept on going. He gave me the money, i was like no no its ok, while i was putting it into my pocket. It was a wild experience taht i thouh my dad would never go through with. he's a cooler guy than i though. Then he was like lets try the same thing with my 540 and i told him yeah in like 10 years when i get my ferrari, we'll race for the titles. Good father and son bonding here, oh and now my lil bro wants m car as soon as he turns 16 which is in a few months. Its no type-s and it not a sports car, but its great for what it is and for what i paid for it.

I pretty much knew that your dad was not gonna be able to beat you. It's cool that tried. It's always nice to beat the old man too in something. He sounds real competitive, just like my dad and it feels great to beat him once in a while.

My dad is only 35, and so is my mom, they had me very young, they were both only 14 and my dady still managed to become a fed, and my mom is now able to stay home and take care of things, i am only 20 years old. He is into cars a lil too much. He raced my contour with his delorean, when he still had it and beat flames out of me. BTW it was a dmc-12 twin turbo. It was beautiful. All red, with black interior. He didnt like the stainless steel so he painted it. Anyways, i have money in the bank from an accident lawsuit, but that money is college money and future house money, so i dont want to start digging into that. I will work for about 2 weeks and get the rest of the money for a set of headers and installation. I wanted rims, but winter is around the corner and where i live we get a lot of snow. I dont plan on driving the car in the winter much, but just in case. I will get whatever is nice thats on winter sale and put them on in the spring.

My dad always said his 95 T-bird V8 could take my 92 Integra 5 speed and my 97 Maxima SE but I could never get him to put his $$ where his mouth was. He has a Volvo 850 now but I think he knows he can't touch TL with that car. No turbo.
