Wow, thanks guys I actualy got another race this morning. I was leaving to get some grub about to turn left when a loud new GT lowered on nice wheels goes speeding past me. The guy driving stares at me as he passes by and I sit there for a minute contempating chasing him down for a race or continue left and getting food.
Of course I said "screw it" and turned right instead. When I was coming up behind him I could see him looking at me in his rear view, he moves over and lets me into the lane next to him and sure enough we hit a light. Light turns green and we both leave slowly keeping it in first waiting for someone to jump on it. I was around 3 grand in first when I hear him hit it (loud) and see his nose jump. I hammer it and wind er up till 6 and speedshift second. By halfway through second his nose was at my bumper and at mid third gear we shut down because of traffic with him a carlength behind me. This guys GT was quick. He must have had a little more than just exhaust. If not he sure earned my respect.
He was really cool too. I let him pass me and he smiled real big and geve me a thumbs up. When he saw that I was turning off he gave me a wave as well.
I gotta get my trac loc fixed. If we would have ran from a dead stop I dont think I would have won. Launching a car with one wheel isnt easy.
