Didi you ever have an almost race? A street race that you wanted but didn't happen b/c of traffic or didn't get up close enough to the car you wanted to race?

I was trying to catch up to a red LT1 4th gen & kept getting blocked by blue hairs.

 

in all honesty, monday thru friday on the newtown bypass in pa. traffic is tight from there to I-95 so the smaller cars take advantage over us by weaving thru traffic to avoid a loss. racing on streets is stupid, but i draw the line at weaving around people, cutting them off to race a scion tc, or bwm m3, etc.

 

Yeah. It still ended up a race just not the one I wanted. I was leaving the mall and when I got out on the road caught a redlight at a three lane. So I'm waiting at the head of one line and a lt1 Z pulls up in the lane to my left. About 10 sec later an lt1 trans-am pulls up on my right. So I'm sitting there thinking I'm about to have a three-way in the middle of Elizabethtown and start getting a little anxious anticipating the race. The light turns green and the Z and myself punch it. The trans-am was a middle aged guy so I didn't think he'd run but kept hopeful. Anyway, both the Z and I cut a hell of a light and somewhere around 3rd gear I started to pull on him ending with about a 1 1/2 car lead. Fun but not as cool as it could of been (just glad no cops saw us).

 

This happens to me many times a weekend (considering only reason I go to this place is to race) Ill spot a sports car, and then 1 car screws me over, or else they turn after reving there motor, or else there just posers and turn off into the "cool" parking lot. Happens constantly.

 

Sorry, had too.

 

This summer, I lost my passenger side t-top after my passenger forgot to lock it for me (flew right off like a kite once I got on the on ramp to the highway). I was so bummed that night, that while coming home, I was lined up with a r32 skyline that I had seen in my area at the lights with no one else in sight and didnt even go for it.

I would have really liked to seen the outcome of that race.

 

what realy pisses me off is when im in my daily driver or my work truck.....and u see some cars acting up on the street...and i say to my self....." damn why cant i be in my maro"
