Had somewhat of a fun night tonight.
First race happened as I was sitting at a light when some ol' Accord(not the old prelude looking ones the kinda round and boxy ones) comes up with some people in it running their mouths. I ignore it until they said my car was slow(which it is...but their car was slower than mine lol) and when the light changed I was nice enough to let him get a 2 car lead then I launched with some wheelspin since it was a drizzling out, then into 2nd in which it still let out a little chirp and then I reeled him hard like he was standing still shut down at 90km's since it was a 50 zone and I had beaten him by over a car length. But the best part was he wasn't really paying attention to the road much just as I started slowing down a car was turning to get to a gas station across the road the lane and he had about 30 feet to stop in which he locked it right up and let some pretty mean looking strips of rubber which I saw later in the night. Next race was something I wanted to do for a while...it was my brothers friends car a Lumina Eurosport:lol2: (which he thought could beat me) Boy was he wrong we went out on the highway for this run and it wasn't very pretty. I was leading for a while running about 80km's at 4g's in 3rd let him pass me then I completely obliterated him. I punched it and reeled him all the way to 190km's. Had probably 4-5 lengths on him. Then we had a second run where he led and I gave him a headstart of probably 3-4 seconds then redlined every shift until 5th...which wasn't a very wise decision on my behalf since it was raining but meh. So he is still in front and I'm gaining like there is no tomorrow and top out at roughly 200km's where I let off since it was wet out and things starting getting a little hairy, but I know had it been dry outside I woulda beat him again.
Cliff notes - Beat an Accord, then they almost crashed. Raced a Lumina won the first I'd say 2nd was a draw since the conditions were'nt the best. All acheived in a bone stone 91 RS Integra with 2 passengers.

Nice kills!
My recommendation is to stop racing on rainy roads at that kind of speed unless you've taken the proper driving courses to be doin g so and have the correct car and tire application to get away with it.
I did that once (at 120km/h) in my old Colt and she hydroplaned instead of going through the slight corner and i ended up in the middle of a grass ditch. Scared the poopy out of me let me tell ya!

Well see, the roads didn't have enough water on them to let you hydroplane, just enough to make them wet. Also yeah I know it was pretty reckless but...risks are what makes life worth living.

I was driving my trans am once, making a left hand turn, no gas, going like...oh...a mighty 7mph. Just up and spun on me...so slow too...left me facing a wall going "well...didnt see that comming" followed by my buddy and me laughing for a bit as traffic went around me. :icon16:
anyway good kills! Show those idiots what happens when they mouth off to the angry evil monkey who lives in the closet!!!
