good ol' fashoned friendly race'sHemiGeorge 10-21-2002, 01:31 AM I was wondering if anyone around here knew about where I could go to just match up and race for fun with some ol' timers or at least some ppl who arent going to get mad or brag, I remember the old days when we used to race, everyone came as friends and everyone left as friends now a days its all pissed off bumble bee's with their pissed off driver's who may come as friends but leave as enemy's. Don't know if any of you know what im talking about. I know my son races his little honda around here but I think it would be strange for me to pull up with all those kids around in there honda's and what not, in my hemi. I'm not a young guy it would probably be strange and I know my son woulden't enjoy my company. I can't go to the track every other day and I just got it bad for a short drag among friends ya know? if you know of any place let me know. thanks HemiGeorge 10-21-2002, 01:48 AM please don't email me the email is my wife's. hybridsol 10-21-2002, 06:43 AM how far away from williamsport or carlisle are you? TerminalVelocity 10-21-2002, 07:10 AM if you were out here everyone would give you mass respect if you rolled up, and i'd love if you rolled with my crew, but I dont think theres enough gas in the world to get yer mopar out here :p *sorry, its a compliment, but a lame one, its 4am here so yah* HemiGeorge 10-21-2002, 10:13 AM Originally posted by TerminalVelocity if you were out here everyone would give you mass respect if you rolled up, and i'd love if you rolled with my crew, but I dont think theres enough gas in the world to get yer mopar out here :p *sorry, its a compliment, but a lame one, its 4am here so yah* I wish you lived closer my friend, my dakota pickup isint as bad on gas as my baby girl but it still makes a dent in my wallet and that's quite a haul, I put her on a trailer. I know it was a compliment and thank you much. HemiGeorge 10-21-2002, 10:14 AM Originally posted by hybridsol how far away from williamsport or carlisle are you? do you know of a place? hybridsol 10-21-2002, 10:41 AM Originally posted by HemiGeorge do you know of a place? actually If you don't mind racing a honda I have a crx that I'd like to put against your beast? I just checked your like 2 hrs and and a few min away thats nothing. My friends and I don't get mad if we lose, lol. HemiGeorge 10-21-2002, 11:46 AM thats kind of a long drive just for a race don't you think? what are you running in that thing? If you want to race me, I'll be more than happy to oblige but if you think your gonna lose I don't see the point? This post was kinda directed more towards the muscle car crowd not to offend. hybridsol 10-21-2002, 11:51 AM I never said that I thought I was going to lose? Just that we were't sore loser's, if you don't want to race thats fine. No harm no foul. hybridsol 10-21-2002, 11:52 AM I can PM my specs to you? I don't like telling the whole world what I have under my hood. HemiGeorge 10-21-2002, 02:39 PM whats PM? hybridsol 10-21-2002, 10:06 PM Its private message. HemiGeorge 10-22-2002, 02:08 AM you name the time and I'll send you directions to my place in advance. or somewhere we ca run em'. I still think this is rediculous not to be rude to ya. hybridsol 10-22-2002, 12:22 PM we could go on friday? around 2? or we can meet up later on and do it at night i'm used to staying up late on fridays no biggie?;) HemiGeorge 10-24-2002, 06:53 AM how do I get ahold of you? car phone? hybridsol 10-25-2002, 08:56 AM i'm pming you with my house and cell number. ales 10-28-2002, 06:45 AM Read about the race.

WTG Hybridsol.. While Hybrid's car is no slouch, how is that no surprise? I must reiterate that when someone trailers their car to the race and pulls out a laptop and starts configuring the computer and you drove your car to the race you should be worried. You must keep in mind that the CRX has used up pretty much all of its potential. That Hemi has infinitly more room to go. Chris 04-10-2003, 08:57 PM Originally posted by HemiGeorge ok let me start of by saying I have newfound respect for all you honda driver's, I met up with hybridsol early this afternoon. First of all let me say that I was only expecting 1 guy and 1 car. I was sitting in my living room watching the game, and from the outside I hear a barage of blowoff vlave's. My son who was home with me jumps up and looks outside, I told him about the whole thing b/c I thought he might want to watch. ok I went out the front door to see and a black honda integra was pulling up with a black delsol close behind. The integra passed the house but the delsol stopped right outside, the integra then backed up turned around and parked. the guy in the integra then got out and started yelling across the street del slow! And as soon as they pulled up 2 more honda cars pulled up and a green jeep towing a CRX, the guy in the delsol after fiddeling with something inside his car got out. This kid was at least 6'3 and he had to be over 200 pounds (yea he was a big guy) he said to me I'm sorry Mr. George? I said yes just george and laughed, he introduced himself as C.J. he looked embarrased and apolagized for having a race in my neghborhood (yea got complaints about that) and then introduced his friends. 3 other guys and a girl. So I took them out to a country road I knew of that wasen't often populated by cars quarry road. It turns into a dead end. When he started the car it was groggy and I heard a hard wind I had to wait while he messed with a computer laptop in his car for a while but i needed to warm her up anyhow then he gave me thumbs up. Ok cutting to the chase we sat at the line and my son opted to flag (I think my son was routing for the other team all he talks about now is how he wants to go to this school where there from and all) Off the line I spun a bit the CRX on the other hand took off from the line without even squeeling he had already gained two car lengths but I started to catch him through 2nd I pulled on the rear side panel of the car still gaining ground on im, then to my amazement he pulled on me another car length and took the title! we raced again b/c I asked him If he wouldent mind me giving it another shot he seemed pretty amazed that he had beat me as well and agreed. This time I didint spin and took him head to head off the line he pulled on me again! by the end of that race he had only beaten me by a nose but a wins a win. I was very impressed after the race he shook my hand told me how suprised he was and thanked me for the race. he was nothing like all the kids around here i see? he was well dressed and very polite all I have to say is that was a new one for me never been beaten by a honda and never thought it was possible! There is the post, for those who dont like clicking... But I am truly impressed. Around here, all of the imports are all show and little go (Ive seen a few with turbos, but still, they are all under 250hp, by far, most under 170). But I do love anyone who actually knows what they are doing, and puts time and effort into making their dream a reality. And honestly, I now have a newfound respect for what an import can do...... But, with your knowledge and skills, hybridsol, you could make an amazing muscle car :-P hybridsol 04-11-2003, 08:56 PM Originally posted by Chris There is the post, for those who dont like clicking...

I still have a few tricks up my sleeve. ;) Polygon you hemi nazi, lol j/k ;) Polygon 04-12-2003, 02:20 AM Originally posted by hybridsol As for the CRX's potential, I wouldn't say it's used up.
