Wow, this section is dead! But I guess that is good because it means Prelude drivers are a bit more reserved and smart about not endangering themselves, right?
Anyways, I rarely race in my Prelude, mainly due to the fact that A) I rarely get challenged, and this ties in to B) time has left the 'Lude behind and the newer cars can usually take us, so no one wants to waste time with us
Well, it may be different for you modders out there, but being stock, this is the case for me
Ok, so I did get challenged the other day though!! I was leaving class out in Manassas, and 234 is a very straight 2 lane for a good 3 or 4 miles. At one of the first lights, a Scion Tc is in the lane next to me. I was listening to music, not paying attention, and the light turns and he guns it, pulling away as fast as a Scion can pull away. I didn't think anything of it, until the passenger rolls his window down and waves me up.
I didn't play in to it, so he slows down instead, they look over at me, and he guns it again from about 45 MPH, trying to goad me on. I decide to see what my Prelude can do, so I downshift to 2nd, and wait for him to gun it again, and I unleash Prelude Vtec! Short 2nd, pull in third past him, a nice 4th and he is half a car length behind my bumper! Fifth gear, good night!
I slow down to let him try again, but this time we were at around 65-70ish, so I only DS'd into 4th, and he kept with me. He actually started to creep ahead.... but, I had to exit, so I couldn't stick around to give him any glory
This was my first race in a long time! Probably only the 2nd or third in my Prelude since I got it last year. I like this car alot though!
