Prety Good Night

[CassiesMan]

Last night, as nothing was going on whatsovever in my little piss ant college town, I headed down to Columbia to see if I could get a few races. I hop on down, and when I get there, it was suprisingly crowded on the streets. I head towards my usual haunt, and in transit, I get my first of three races.

I'm sitting at a light, and theres a black Chevy pickup of some sort sitting behind me. I don't think anything of it, and I hop of the line pretty quick when the light turns green. However, as I look up, it looks like the pickup was holding with me, like he wanted to go. I accelerate up a little bit, puting some space between us, and drop into second in 40, and switch into the right lane. He pulls up next to me, and I look over, and the passenger has his window down, and so do I, and he points forward. I nod, and he shouts 'On three!'. So I nod, the guy in the pickup honks down, and on the third honk, we both gun it. That truck was pretty quick, and damned loud (I think exhaust, maybe intake),as I had a SLOW pull away from him through the rest of second (ends at 55ish), and shift into thrid, and start getting a pretty good pull. I'm starting to move away from him pretty good now, and shut down at 90, about a length and a half up. I give them the thumbs up, and get it back, and then I let off so that they can get over (had their blinker on). They turn right, and I turn left.

After that, its fairly quiet, as I keep poping U-Turns trying to get to this decent sized pack of some good cars (Well...some-It looked like a nicely modded [ie not ricey] Civic, an older muscle car [couldnt tell waht kind, it was like, yellowish green wiith a black 304 or 340 on the rear fender]. and another good looking 2nd Gen Eclipse, the rest were pretty much fart canned Civics). I finally get into the group, but I can't seem to get any of them to race. I thought I had one for a minute with an older Accord coupe, but he turned into Sonic before I could get him to go.

After doing this for about an hour, I finally get my next race. I go through a light, and there is a set of headlights...and those little winsheild washer lights, comming up on me pretty fast. I drop donw into second, and get ready for him to try a fly by. However, when he pulls up next to me, he paces me. Awesome. Its a black 300ZX, couldn't tell if it was a turbo or not, but I'm gonna go with 'or not.' I look at him, and he looks over at me and nods. I pull a quick u-turn (we're running out of road REAL fast) and head the other way, where we catch a light. Hes reving it, and I dont hear a BOV, just sounds like its possibly intake and exhaust (but the exhaust looked stock), and I'm waiting for the light. It goes green, and he gets off the line a little faster than I do with a small amount of wheel spin. He keeps me about a 1/4 of a car length or less through second, but when I hit thrid, I start pulling on him. Mid third, I'm at his door, high third, my nose is just in front of his, fourth, I pull a little, keep the pull 80...90..95...and at 100, I'm up by about half car length, maybe a bit more. I shut down at 105, were comming up on a red really fast, and he pulls next to me, and gives me the thumbs up. I give it back, and we just cruise a little bit after that.

By now, I've decided that I've wasted enough gas, and deicded to head home. I took the longer route to get to the highway, and as I pull up to a light, a couple of kids in a car (couldn't tell what kind, either a Nissan or Toyota of some sort, I'm inclined to say Nissan) pull up next to me. I look over, and the dirver looks over, and starts power braking. I look over and nod, and then just look back up at the light. It goes green, and I get a good launch, and he bogs it somehow. I pretty much just walk away from him up to 60, then shut down. He pulls up next to me, and rolls down his window, and shouts "from a roll!" I nod, expecting him to count, but he just punches it. Im in fourth, just cruising at 65, so I down shift into third, and pretty much just as he pulls a carlength on me, I take off, and fly by him pretty fast. I go to give him the thumbs up, he gives me the bird. Yeah whatever. Soa fter that, I decide its enough, and just head back home. Good night for Cassie and me, especially becuyase the weather is starting to get a bit nicer. Also, Elchico, if you read this, were you at Taco Bell last night around 10:30ish? If so, I think I saw you there.

Cliff notes:
Beat a Truck
Beat a 300ZX
Beat a bunch of kids in a Nissan or Toyota four door

Probably the better of the two to bet on . Anyway, sounds like fun, good races; it always puts me in a good mood to gain a few kills when I'm bored.

[CassiesMan]

Yeah, htats what I was thinking. It was qucik, and loud, but didn't sound turboed.

[i3o2Matt]

did the 300ZX look kind of long??? if it did, then it deff. wasn't turbo'd, but either way...it doesn't sound like it was turbo'd...nice races tho! heh

[Slowprocess]

Sounds like you had a fun time with them. Good job!

[CassiesMan]

Im pretty positive the 300 wasnt turbod now that I think about it...if it was, it shoulda walked me. I did see it had a dual exahust, if that means anything.

[3KSL95]

Nice kills, all 350's have dual exhaust wast it aftermarket.

[CassiesMan]

Not 350, that thing would walk me like no other...unless you mean 300ZX

[Sleepr awd]

yeah i was, inside for a while (cuz the cop sitting at the bell told us to buy something or leave) , got to ride around in my friends' Rex (which is a pretty quick little car), and i raced my other friends vr-4 galant, which i surprisingly held even with him , he's pushing 8lbs of boost and only a filter, o2dump, and 2.5 back w/ hiflow on it

btw cassie we need to exchange numbers so the next warm weekend we can chill or something

[clawhammer]

I'd like to see you guys race, should be interesting, not sure who'd win.

[CassiesMan]

Thats a good deal...Im close but still not quite there, to getting the intake, but as soon as I do, you know I'll be down there even more.

[TatII]

yeah a all 300ZX's comes with dual exhuast. the easiest way to tell is by the rims. the twin turbo has a staggered setup, and the rears will look a good amount wider. thats usually the first thing i spot right away when i see a twin turbo Z, also they have a small.

both of those can be added on to a Z, i sometimes see n/a Z's with the wing put on, however i've yet to see one n/a Z with the twin turbo staggered wheels put on.

[CassiesMan]

Gotcha. Still a N/A Z is a good kill for a four door family sports sedan.

[Sleepr awd]

very good considering i dont' think i'm even supposed to run even with one of them...errr

[CassiesMan]

Lol. I looked up the times for the NAs on Dragtimes.com, and the highest two were a 16.something, and a 15.4 with a slipping clutch.
