I was short some money and it was still 4 days until payday, so I couldn't afford to gas up the F-body. So I got out my 20cc Moped and buzzed around town the way they do. As I come up to a stop light, who do I see in a grey-green 94 Z28 (with bird poop on the hood) but Mr Dave Grant.

Gord: Hey Dave! (Gord revs engine) buzzzz, buzzzz.

Dave: Bwahahaha

Gord: You up for a race? Loser fills the other guy's tank up.

Dave: You're on.

Light = Green. We both go for it. He spins the tires and then almost stalls it on take off. Must be that clutch of his. I look in my rear view mirror and see him fish tailing all over the place. Finally a loud booming backfire barfs out of his exhaust. He lets off the gas and coasts....Meanwhile I cruised by the mutually agreed upon finish line (fire hydrant up the road about 900 ft) doing about 25 km/h and raised my arm up in victory.

Since I didn't know how much gas the F-body was gonna take, I just had him fill up the moped. Wound up costing him $1.42 of gas and about $10,000 of pride.

 

... And then one day I saw this goofy lookin guy in a black bird and I walked up and punched him in the face...


You suck Gord, only picking on people when they're too far away to fight back

 

I remember this green machine a while back, sittin' at a light and I rolled up next to him. I revved it once, he looked over and then looked the other way. Well, I decided to rev it a second time. The guys behind him in a truck started yellin, "nail him Typhoon!" etc.

So the guy places it in first with a clunk. I stage at about 1600 rpm, and when the light turned green, I did a four wheel drift across the entire intersection, all the while turning right slightly and trying to keep it in my lane!

Within 3 seconds I was doubling the posted city limits and I shut it down, only to have him come screaming past me with his front wheel in the air. He never let off to talk to me!

 

Here's a story about Russ (white vette) and myself!

Let me tell you a story. About two years ago, fear had gripped a few people about the typhoon, however some really hadn’t believed, maybe cause of the “timeslip” issue. SO Russ comes out to the “wack”, (Chilliwack) along with a few of his friends towing their rides. I got to admit, it is pretty impressive when someone tows their car to the place where we are about to race.

So a few people have their rounds and so finally it is Russ’s and my turn. He was carrying the juice, I was all natural. His is a 78?? white vette, tubbed, nine inch, caged, huge scoop, monstrous slicks, etc. He does the usual, clawing and pawing, while all I do is roll up to the line with my all seasons in the front and drag radials in the rear. When the hands come down, I am out of there and spank him by five lengths. We get to the turn around, and he wants to talk. The juice wasn’t working, the lifters weren’t set right, yadie, yadie, yadie! He wants another chance!

We get back to the start, he hauls out his tools and starts setting lifters, in the pitch dark with only a flashlight. Time goes by, and finally he calls no joy and tows his piece home!

 

Is bowmans still active Ty?
I haven't been out there in years.

 

I think I saw you eat a bike one night out in chilliwack. Is the truck dark in colour?

 

Apparently Bowmans is becomng active, however with a lot of slow cars. They are congregating on the shouldres, exactly what they shouldn't be doing! In my opinion, they should meet at the truck stop, challenge each other, burn down to Bowmans, duke it out, and then meet back at the truck stop to shoot the breeze! The entire time span spent at any one racing place should never be more than 30 mintues.

However the problem with Bowmans is that the track is not all that smooth. In my mind, anyone's trap speed exceeding 110 mph should not race there. Dixon's is far safer. We had fun there on Friday, we raced for 45 minutes, and get this, not a single local car drove by during that entire time frame!

 

Hey Zedzag, at night my truck would appear dark blue or maybe even dark purple! The Wack is my stomping ground, so it is quiet possible you saw me! My guess is that it was me, cause most trucks wouldn't stand a chance against a bike!

 

Ok ok ok, wait wait wait, listen to this one! This is my all time most bestest kill story yet!

38pu, also known as Richard from Hod Rods and Classics, swears to me about two years ago, in the loudest voice in his most boisterous attitude you have ever witnessed while we were at Bowman’s in front a of a crowd of no less than 200, saying, “Ty, you will never never ever ever beat me again”. Well history had it that sometimes I would beat him and then sometimes he would beat me. We both started off in the 14's and worked our way down from there.

I vowed that I did not need nos to beat his crappy manure hauler and he swore that all you need was a stock motor , add a little nos, and he could beat anyone!

He runs low 12's on the street without nos and I run low 11's with all season radials! Then he straps on the nos and takes off 2 whole seconds! Well, I succumbed to his taunting and I finally had enough. If I was going to play with him or Russ, I needed an adder!

Not knowing anything about the stuff, I bought a small shot system and started playing with it 3 days before the big one. We got together with Don, Russ, Dave, and f u others, and each put 10 bucks into the kitty, and the winner of the night, got to keep it all!

Well, my first bottle had been filled some 8 years prior to this, and I had played away most of it during try outs over the last three days! I told them I could only go once cause I only had 18 lbs left (3 useable) in my bottle. When it was time to step up to the plate, who do I get but 38. Well I got that boy out of the hole, I had him in second, and I just kept on pulling! When I shut it down, I had 10 lengths on that boy!

This meant I had to take on Russ, or just concede! I tried to explain to them that I had warned them that I could only play once. But being boys, they forced me to run if I wanted the money. Well, I had a horrible launch, (spun out), plus half way, I was out of naaz! Don was waiting at the end of the track to be the judge, and he said Russ was doing about 140 and the motor was singin’. Apparently he was right because Russ pulled a 9.37 @ 145 a week later, right after we both lost our licences!

Ah, but that is yet another story! Maybe my best of all times! Hehehe!

 

i drive the balck 94 gt trans am

 

some old dude in a z06 took off on me on 152 st and 64 ave, so i took off right after him. he had like a 3 car headstart and more speed from when i started going. i was just doing it for fun, wondering how much he would beat me buy, but i was like catching up to him kinda. he was on it for sure cause he was chirping/spinning 2nd and 3rd pretty good. i was amazed. he ended up ahead of me buy about 3 car lengths, but he had more speed when we started. i think i did pretty good. i asked him to race from a stop at the next light but the bastard ignored me. i was yelling at him to put down his window. pansy.
not really a kill story, but still a good story i think

oh yea another one of me gettign killed is buy the guy in surrey that drives the yellow viper. i was pissed drunk, had my friend driving my car. we pulled up beside him on 152 st and about 88th, going about 70kmh. i tell my friend to drop a gear and take off on him. so he does and then the viper decides to drop a gear and then just took off. i was sitting there like "**** i need like a big shot of nos". that thing is fast. ive seen him around a few times. if ya see him he will more than likely lite them up for ya. asked him to do it twice and has done it both times. it was great.

 

Hmm I have a few, but the one I liked best had to be the NSX.

This happened a couple summers back. I pulled outta the mall, saw a Metallic Organge/Bronze NSX pulling out of the library. I followed it for a block, and luckily caught a light with him. The car looked pretty much stock, except for exhaust. So I pulled up, it was some chubby Chinese dude in his late 20's.

He was completely ignoring me even though I weaved through a bit of traffic to get to him. So finally, I yelled out "Hey!...You wanna race?" Then he asked "Do you have a V8 under there?" I said "Yeah" So then he replied as if he was doing me a favor by letting me race his fancy $50,000+ car and said "Ooook....just make sure there's no cops around."

I must say, I was a bit nervous, not because I have never raced an NSX before, but because I had a bad coil. Whenever I'd go past 4500 rpm, my car would backfire.

So then the light turn green, I slowly eased onto the gas, he had about a car length on me. I kept it at about 80% throttle, pulled up to his door. But by then, we had to shut it off. Not quite a kill, but if I had a good coil, or a little bit more road, definetly woulda had him.

Nonetheless, I can never forget the reaction on his face when we pulled up to the next light.

He no longered had his " I have a $50,000 car" look on his face, but more like a "13 Year old boy that just saw b@@bs for his first time in his life" kinda look and said "Holy $h!t! What do you have done to the car?!?" I told him, "Just full exhaust0". Waved goodbye and went to work. I haven't seen him since

 

u know what really sucks .. is that noone wants to race me anymore.. all i get is excuses excuses . ifs ands and buts ..

i asked duane with the almighty supra to go .. NO
i asked sunny with the 490 RWHP cobra to go .. NO
i looked for u ty at the cruise .. didnt find ya

but back when i was stock .. (more or less) i beat an older viper.. and i got a witness to testify too .. musky was in my car as me and him had just started drinking in the parking lot as we waited for the rest of the posse at wild coyote in the parking lot .. i see this blue with white stripes viper drive up marine dr.

so i get shawn to hold me beer, hit the cutout switch and make her loud, start chasin the viper .. get to ubc grounds, and get a good piece of it.. raced him once from a roll .. got about half a car on him .. he wouldnt race me anymore

that was back in the day when i only had a cam and shorty's... i must admit he couldnt drive worth sh*t .. but a kill is a kill

 

I'll race you Anywhere, street, strip doesn't matter n/a or on naawwz! I'm not afraid of losing (expecially when it's a given ) it's all a part of the game. Someone should bring a camera too, I'm sure it'll be a nice shot of me blowing my tranny lol

 

My funniest kill ever was getting onto the North Van cut, I was just driving home with Roy in my car, next thing you know this M3 in the left lane floors it & cuts me off in the 3rd right lane & takes off, he had about 4-5 car length by that time just gunning it, I'm like "wut the F*ck?" so I had to teach him, I floor it, going 110 I go sideways but I keep on it, straighten out & in a matter of seconds I'm right up his A$$, so I get the bright idea to start Hoking at him get out of the way, we are already going 190+kms/h & here I am hoking at his slow a$$ to get out of the way, so he cuts into the middle lane & in front of me is a car going like a slug, so I cut into the middle lane cutting some dumb ricer off, then I get beside him, his girlfriend was smiling he was too, I finger him for cutting me off. So we keep going, then it clears up ahead, he guns it again, this time I had my own lane so I gun it too, I just flew by him & couldn't see him anymore, I took the next exit

It was soo funny, that M3 was child's play.
