Default definatly a kill, but valid?

hey guys, I still have my RSX, and being a little import I always get reved at by camaros, TAs, and the occasional mustang. well, today has been rainy and very very UNideal for a drag. comming home from lowes I dropped at a light and a big black Camaro pulled up, looked like it was brand new (still had the thirty day tags too). so he puts his top down, looks over, and revs at me. I had to laugh, but looked over and nodded. so the light goes green and he stepps on it, being a litle wet still he spun like all hell, while I feathered the clutch and gas and took an easy start before hammering it. after I hit second gear I hear a bang. looking back I saw his car sideways and the back right tire flat. guy blew a tire trying to get traction. he had no chance anyhow, he had only gone about 50 feet when I was at 60. thought it was pretty amusing in that respect, I must admit it didnt feel as good as it should have. oh well. just thought I'd share my little experience today.

RWD musclecars who try to race in the rain have nothing but trouble coming their way. What an idiot. Way to show him how dumb he was being.

Yep, That guy must of been a real moron. Hey, I'd consider it a kill. If he was dumb enough to challenge you on wet roads, thinking he could beat you easily, and he would of probably added you to his kill list if he did win, I'd consider it a kill. I know I know, alot of conjuctions, and comma's in that sentence.

My feeling is if he tried to race from the start, regardless of what happened inbetween, you win and it's valid!

If it looks like rain, I dont go anywhere, or I borrow my dad's truck, because while most have a hard enough time driving a rwd in the rain, with 4.10s it is a major pain in the ***.
