What about what was the most embarrassing race you've had? - Page 2

Here's one, soon after I got my 93'coupe, an a**hole of an ex-friend starts runnin his mouth about his 93 VW GTI 4-cylinder. I had noticed my car hadn't been runnin right since it came back from my friends house to adjust the timing ( 3 degrees people- 3 degrees of timing) N E Wayz - He see's me on the road beside me he starts jumpin trying to get me to race. I sure didn't want to make this kids ego any bigger with my car screwed up ( 3 ******* Degreez)Stupidity takes over and I downshift and hit it, my car takes a sh*t right there in the road, I could of ran faster. So theres my rep - lost to a 4-cylinder. God I Hate VW's.
PS- One month later found out about my timing-try to kill my friend- Dont let friends work on your car cause you had to be at work, 15 degrez - much better.. Ego kid moved to Wyoming yellin about how he killed a 5.0 the whole way..... Man I hate VW's and kids with ego's bigger than their car..... Sorry about the length.

It was my first race ever at a drag strip.
I lined up with a stock looking Acura Integra that had rims and window tinting. Looked like an easy kill, right? He whooped me like a red-headed step child. I didn't know what hit me at first. I couldn't believe it. He ran a 15.779 to my 15.876! And yes, this was before ram air, sway bar out, battery in trunk and gears on the way.

Man,

Im driving down the street after the lakers win the champioship, well, this white car flys by, didnt even get a good look at it but was full of guys, i had 2 other guys in my car. I wasnt expecting to race since when i reved my engine he didnt even turn, so at the light i take off a little faster than reg and he gunned it. By the time i try to gun it i figure there isnt any use since he was a good car length ahead. I wasnt too happy about that, more mad than embarrased.
