Now this was a very short race.

My friend, his sister, and I were going to his step-mom's work to get an excuse for his sister. On the way there, on HWY 80, we saw a vette. He was in the turn lane so I sped up to get next to him. I rev my engine and he pulls back onto HWY 80. As I had passed him I realized that not only was in over my head taking on a Corvette, I had made the mistake of reving at a new Z06. I slowed down to 35 MPH and he pulls up to my back fender. I drop the clutch and jump on the gas. My tires made a quick bark and I thought I was doing pretty good. Then I remembered I was TRYING to race a ZO6. All of a sudden I see the ZO6 fly past me. I am still in 2nd gear. After he pulled 3 cars on me by 70 MPH I let off the gas. Mainly b/c of the truck that pulled on to HWY 80. THe vette kept going.
My friend said as the ZO6 passed us, he was looking over with a smirk on his face. Now I knew those cars where fast. I have downloaded the videos, but to actually be able to see that in person was awesome.
