Raced a wrx at the track

[lx mike]

Went to friday night test and tune at the local 1/8 mile and first set of cars was me and a bright blue wrx. I did my usual second gear burnout and rolled up to the line. He was already there and set to go so i took my time and turned top bulb on the brought my r.p.ms up to where i leave and just rolled enough to lite second lite then was set. The lights came down and i expected to see him jump ahead cause of his a.w.d, but when i hit second and looked over he wasn't there I looked in my side mirror and could see him coming,so i just hit 3rd and finished ahead of him. When i got the time slip i saw what happened. I got a good light and he was way late my .529 to his 1.167 my time was 8.75 to his quicker 8.51. this was at 6:00 and sun was just setting, later on that night he was running quicker so i'm glad i caught him when i did or it would have been different.
