Recalling a kill...

Im sitting in class bored, and I remembered a kill I got around here so I figured I'd post it.

I'm heading back to class, fresh off a race with a turbo'd Civic (cheaply done, not fast at all). So I pull into the turn lane, and I see a cavy, Integra, Accord, VW GTi (with heavy suspension work), all reving up their engines. Naturaly I hammer down my throttle and let my engine do the talking. I see everyone look back in their mirrors at me, and they all grin. Then the Civic I just beat rolls behind me and revs his engine. It was the middle of the day and their was heavy traffic, but I figured if they wanted to go, I would too. The light goes green, Im several cars back at this point. When we pull out of the turn I get up to the GTIs bumper, he switches lanes and gets behind the Integra. The Cavy and Accord are well ahead, with the Civic trailing badly. I start weaving my way thruogh traffic, going about 70-80 in a 45 (which is no joke in mid-day traffic). The Accord and Cavy were still together when I caught them. The other cars were way back, they got caught up in traffic so now its just us 3. Im about 2 car lengths behind the Cavy in the left lane, and the Accord is a length and a half in front of him. Our destination (school) was drawing close and I knew I had to make a move fast. I downshift to 3rd, I feel my ass drop down and I switch to the right lane and fly by the Cavalier. I cut in front of him but I had no place to go, their was a semi in front of me. The Accord is pulling ahead fast and Im stuck going nowhere. The Cavy switched to the right lane with the Accord, and he starts taking off. The only thing I could do was go into the turnlane (which ran the entire length of the street we were racing) and hope to god no other cars were there. So I blindly turn into the lane, and see its all clear except for the 3 semis in front of me that I need to pass to cut back over into the correct lane. Im going at about 80 in 4th, so I downshift and floor it. I then noticed an F-350 making a turn into the turn lane. I was going as fast as I could but not making enough ground to feel confident I could pass in time...but I could pushing anyway. My friends were yelling at me to stop, and then I see the F-350 go into the turn lane. At this point I had 1 semi left to pass. I switch to 4th and pass the semi and cut back into the lane with less then a split second before the oncoming truck slammed into me. I look in my mirror and I see the Accord 4 car lengths behind me, gave me a thumps up and turned. My heart was racing, and I instantly felt relieved to be alive. My friends were going nuts and congratulating me. When we pulled into school everyone congratulated me and told me I was lucky not to die, more or less win.

Cliffnotes:
*group race, Integra, GTI, Accord, cavy, Civic
*I pull a stupid stunt and pass for the win in oncoming traffic and almost die
*everyone is happy im alive

Bubba, your f'in nuts!!!

Deffinately one of the dumber things Iv done...lol

Nuts or fucking stupid...one of the two.

A bit of both, but I'm leaning towards stupid. lol

damn dude !

That was probably the most idiotic thing i have ever read. That is like something you see on the news talking about how bad street racing is. Its idiots like you that give street racing a bad name. What topped it all of though was the "my friends were screaming for me to stop." Wth were you doing not only putting your life at risk but also your friends? You need to chill out a lil bro. Stop messing with rice its not worth it when your much faster then they are.

I've noticed that I the way you drive, for the most part, seems to come from where you are...I mean, here up in MO, I do all the ballsy stuff (split gaps between semis and cars, go 100+ regularly, done a few median passes) but back home in TX, I hardly do worse than 10-20 over the limit. Anyways, nice little manuver, good to see you didn't get hurt. Most recent stupid thing I can remeber is racing a chipped E36 318, came up fast on two semis, he took far outside left lane, and I took the median/break down lane...

You my friend, are a






















DICK.

I'll say what's got to be said.

Dude, your Nucking Futs! (switch the 2 caps) You got away with that stunt this time, the next time you might not be so lucky. And the sad thing is, you endangered yourself, your friends, some poor soul in a Pickup Truck that probably had to go home and change their underpants, and the driver of an 18 wheeled 40 ton behemoth that was probably thinking that he was going to be running over a Mustang full of school kids after it smacked a Pickup. All for the sake of killing an Accord on a very busy street! WTF dude, use your head!

No offense but I am old enough to be your father, and I'm sure you wouldn't want the word of this getting back to your real one, for if it was my son and I found out he did a stunt like this, he'd be taking the yellow bus and the "shoe leather express" for a very long time. And it sure as hell wouldn't be a pretty site if a cop had to find him to tell him. So I'm taking the liberty of saying the above for him.

Consider yourself chewed!

I think this recollection of events was best left in your head instead of posted here, I just hope you think about these events and your own words (without the "lol's" after them) plus the words of the others who replied in this thread and come to the realization that you were damn lucky you can even tell about it. And I pray it won't happen again!

Agreed

Everyone has done stupid things in their lives...the important thing is to learn from them, not brag about them. Perhaps you should have recalled a different race.

I also think 11 people telling him it wasn't the brightest thing to do is sufficient, so lets leave it at that.

Ditto the dogpile should stop. I've noticed when racing with others you tend to do a lot more risky things then by yourself driving fast. The feeling kind of takes over. Just today I pulled a similiar trick (speeding up to get in front of a car already accelerating with a car in your lane) I had more then enough acceleration, and more then enouugh room but still I shouldn't have. While all advice should be followed it will take more maturity to race responsibly (if their is such a thing).

It was deffinately dumb, No doubt about that. And yes I learned from it, and I am alot more responsible. I think you may be right UncleBen, I do things I normally wouldn't do when other people are in the car rooting you on.

when he said "uncle ben" i thought he was making a quote from the spider man.

MUSTANG5.0 WITH GREAT POWER COMES GREAT RESPOSIBILITY. thats what uncle ben told me.

Thats EXACTLY what everyone told me. Im starting to see why...

Hey, we all do stupid things as kids.

When I was 16 or 17, driving a 2001 Civic LX (not mine), was pseudo-racing an F150 driving home from work ... both going 80 in a 55, neither of us wanted to go over, but safe to say we were having our fun.

We were side-by-side the entire time, taking up both lanes in our direction, him on the left, me on the right ... as I came up to an intersection, some car was in my lane ... rather than slow down, I shot for the short (50 feet?) margin where cars making a right onto our direction from the cross-street have to merge. Somehow we timed it just right so that I was able to squeeze by the car in this small turn lane, while the truck flew by them on the left. Certainly was exhilerating, but terribly immature and dangerous.

There's driving aggressively, and then there's driving dangerously/stupidly. Endanger yourself all you want, but leave others out of it.
