First real race @ a red light.
This was the first time i've ever really raced from a stop sign. I had been practicing on launching, and i got the hang of it somewhat. The car on the side was a 79-83 Maverik. We were actually racing in the freeway earlier that day, and later that night i pulled into a gas station and he came over aswell. We were talking for a bit and he said he had a V6 300hp, 4spd, he said nothing major in it. Anyways, he was at the light reving his car like crazy, i just kept calm and was looking at the other light to see when it turned red. As it got to the yellow i started to get ready, once it hit green i launched without any wheel spin. I was up infront of the maverik for like half a block, from 1'st - 3rd gear. But as i was in 3rd, all of a sudden the maverick just starting pulling me in like crazy. Next thing i knew i had um about 1-2cars length infront of me. We were doing 100 or so in the streets, so i let go of the gas and he kept going. At least i had um at the start...but oh well =)
Also earlier that night, we saw a pack of rice rockets. I tried messing with a couple, a prelude (99 or so) and like a 94 civic hatcback, sadly couldn't keep up with um. Too much traffic, and they weren't caring at all.
