im not much for light dragging or highway races cause my car is slow, and worn out. 193,000 miles and knocks on startup then fades out... i dont push it too hard most the time.
that said these are really my only races on the roads against random people i dont know.
first was pretty early in my owning the of car.
red light on 92 atop the highway next to a 89 or so lebaron. kid looks like cracked out or some shit. revs at me, and i said to myself fine. light changes and hes got 4 lengths before i hook as i dumped at prolly 4 grand with bald rears. needless to say i lost. i thought it was funny though.
second race-
if any of you know a road called "groover" in marietta youll know what im talkin about.here-http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a199/omgtofu/groover.jpg
so anyways me and my friend(theundersteerking!!!!) were drivin near his house in my car one night and this bimmer pulls up. rich kid with daddy's e36 m3 supercharged, big brakes, shit man the whole works. my friend rolls the window down and shouts at them to follow us. im like wtf? where? so he takes me to groover and we explain to the guy the chase and lead rules. this is like maybe the 3rd time id been on this road. i was in the lead and he was to keep up. it was intense, like it may be a few corners but man it seemed like it took way longer to finish in the sense that i was just focused on everything around me. to describe these large sweeping corners the best i can say is doing 30-40mph is scary as fuck. well on the second to last corner i lost sight of him in the rear view and my friend is flippin his shit like YEH!! OH YAH! AHH~ and then just my luck on the last corner it double apexes and i was goin a little too fast, tapped the brakes a little too hard and like a rookie didnt let off when it locked up. i slid to the side and stopped. the bimmer passed and won pretty much. it was a very fun experience though.
third race-
this was recent. i live off victory drive which is at bells ferry and kellog creek. heres my awesome representation of my "home course".http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a199/omgtofu/mycourse.jpg
so this is how this one goes. im on my way back home at around 12'ish on bells ferry. im in the right lane and near the walmart i pass by a mustang. didnt think much of it. little before my road the fucker FLIES past me and jumps in front and proceeds to be heading the same way i am. he gets on victory and then i get on victory. at this time he started maybe 15 lengths ahead. we are both arleady pedal to the floor. im thinking YES FINALLY, someone who loves this road as much as me. now for starters my average speed when im just having fun and almost pushing the limit is 70-75mph prolly 60 in the sharpest corners and up to 90 on the straight near the horses. thats all staying in my lane mind you. this was different. i didnt care, it was late i figured thered be no traffic so i hauled ass. i musta been averaging 90 the whole time, hitting over 100 by the horses. so as i said i started about 15 lenghts behind. by the 3rd and 4th corner i am up on him no more than 4 lengths, then he hits that straight and thats about the time i saw that it was a damn svt cobra. he gained another 4 lenghts there. then in 5 and 6 i catch back up just to see him round the bend near my neighborhood and on to the end. i didnt think some good ol boy would wanna hang out and discuss the run with some import kid so i just turned in to my place.
overall, i think that was quite an accomplishment on my part. i ran the hardest ive ever ran on my road and closed the gap on a near 500hp stang. he had mods and such but they just cant take the corners man.
that is all. hope you enjoyed.:D
