Ricer says he can beat me with 100 shot...

I agree but have a different suggestion.

Run him straight up. Make a couple passes if it's close. If so, see where his weakness is and exploit it. If you're better from a dead stop then insist on those type runs. If you get beat consistently be a good sport and congratulate him on his faster ride and acknowledge defeat. No shame in it. What is is what is. There's ALWAYS someone faster than you, even if it's a rare ricer.

As far as exploiting weaknesses when I ran my 1st Lightning it was a tough go for me from a 40 mph roll, that's his strength. I slowly pulled on him but not good enough to satisfy me. He was proud of his accomplishment and I took advantage of his pride. My car's superb at launches from a dead stop so I challenged him to a run from a red light. He eagerly agreed not expecting a plain white '89 T/A to CATAPULT off the line like a jet fighter leaving an aircraft carrier. I had'em by 2 car lengths just leaving the intersection and he was disposed of in short order.

Another strategy I use when racing cars with manual transmissions is to get them from a dead stop too. Most can't launch without smoking the tires. Their adrenalin and heart are racing, they're eager to win, revving their engines and BAM pop the clutch and the tires go up in smoke while I'm hooking up and GONE.

Moral; go race'em and give that ricer a little "what for" of American Muscle. Go for $20, not a big deal if you lose, but make sure it's agreed that it's a best of 3 back to back. Go get'em and good luck.
