First Race and first kill

96 ls · 07-09-2005, 02:22 AM

I was at a stop light in my Acura Integra LS 5 speed and the light turned green so like I just took off normal and like I see a Mitusbishi Eclipse Spyder GS coming up fast. So he paces me driving side by side revving at me and I m like oh snap I am about to encounter my first race. So i m on going 35ish and then he guns it and I downshift to 2nd and I gained on him immediately. So by 85 I am a car and a half in front of him. We started to come up to a turn and I made the turn so fast that I thought I lost it, but I didn't while he slows down to a reasonable speed to make the turn. After the turn I just kept gaining car lengths on him so I decided to stop since there was on going traffic coming up. So I m going 40 and just driving normal and then I see him do the ricer fly by. I was just laughing because I always read from here that hecka people do the ricer fly by when they lose. The race was such an adreneline rush and hopefully I'll encounter more races in the future.
