Clay, man can I relate. Not long ago a guy in his Honda with a fart can sees me part, cruises by and gives it a good revving along with the 'stare down'. I take my time going in to pick up some Thai and he comes by and does it again. After I came out of the resturant with my food, here he comes again! I start the car as quietly as possible and wait. He cruised up slowly and just as he begins to race his motor I rev mine up hard. Couldn't even hear his car. Never saw the guy again. I wonder if he thought he was gunning for a Miata or something?
I am against street racing in general. But occasionally I will give them a quick taste on the freeway and more often entrance ramps. Love it when the 'boy racer' is sitting on my arse waiting to get on the ramp and then bobs back and forth behind me like I should hurry up or something. Then I stand on it (up to the speed limit
) and check my mirror. Looks almost like they came to a stop!
Word to the wise. Beware of some of those ricers. Check out some of their 1/4 times. Most are posers but there are quite a few running 11s and 12s. Some even faster. Check out the times from the last run and gun drag strip event. When you dare them out to the track, beware! I can't tell you how many econboxes have beat me at Solo II. Especially with the P.O.S. 15" tires we have to choose from.
