I know what you mean about stuff being on the track at the line. Once at HRP, I carefully drove around the water box and lined up against a brand new Supra twin turbo. When I left the line my car went completely sideways and was pointed directly at the Supra with my engine screaming at 6000 RPM. I let off and hit it again with the same sideways result. I just gave up and puttered on down the track.

What had happened was that Hondas ahead of me (it was dark) had driven directly into the water and done pathetic little burnouts dragging water all the way to the starting line. When I got there, it was just as if I had floored my car on a wet street.

I just wish I could have had a decent run against the Supra. He probably would have still beat me, but who knows? He looked inexperienced at racing. I wonder what he thought when I was pointed directly at him with the Flows screaming at 6000 RPM?
