I have two, one that happened at the track and one that happened on the street. The one at the track was more embarrasing because there were lots of people around. I was at Houston raceway park on a bracket night just screwing around. I got to the line and staged, there was a real piece of junk pick up racing me. I was waiting at the ambers and my car was idleing rough, right as the green light is about to flash my stang dies. I cranked it up and was way too jumpy, i revved it and just dumped it. the tires just went up in smoke through the first two gears. And I went out in the first round. The people in the stands probably thought I just slept on the light and just rev'd it and let'er rip. The second time I was driving the I-45 N. in Houston and a black SS was pulling up to me and wanted to race. So I was acting all cocky and was like let's do this. We gave it a go and i pulled out pretty good like at least 3 car lengths, then kind of slowed down to see if they still wanted to play. Nothing, well I was approching my exit so I started to get off. Right as I'm exiting the driver rolls down the window, it's a totally hot chick. she just kind of waved like too bad you didn't stop to talk to me. I felt like a total moron after that. Now after I race I try to be more sociable after, you never know who's in the car.
