Ok, first off, I'd like to say that I don't go out looking for races. I VERY rarely street race, but I had to this time.
I pulled up to the stoplight, next to this older Neon. My window was rolled down, as it was a nice night, their passenger's side window was open as well. I heard the guy in the passenger's seat say: race this guy...So, I hear the car rev up for a launch, right before the light turns green, they hit it, I take off normally, and one I hit about 3500RPMs in 1st, I nailed it. By the time I got on it, the car was already about a half car length between my front bumper and their rear. Well, by the end of 1st, I had completely caught up, threw it into 2nd, chirped the tires really well, and waved out the window as I blew by in the middle of second and continued to put distance between myself and them to the start of 3rd.
Then, I see some lights hauling ass towards me, this BAD ASS early 70s Camaro BLOWS by at about 80MPH, deafeningly loud...scared the living **** out of me.
