Default i lost my first race tonight

95 Gt against a 95 Cobra

i expected to lose..bad! but sike, i only lost by half a car?

1st run was from a 1st gear roll doing about 10 and we were even by the end of 3rd and he pulled on me, then from 2nd gear iw as at low rpms i thought we were done, and he wanted to run so we gun it and he gets me by half a car at the end of 3rd.

i thought i was gonna get beat badly but it was a decent race actually.

I raced a 98 cobra with a mostly stock motor, exhaust and full handling suspension, lost the first race by 1 car and I launched good on the second run and burned him. are you auto or manual?

manual, we had no green lights.

im not down with street racing though kinda so i dont do it alot, but it was fun and i do need a wheel alignment( i couldnt keep straight )

im completely stock, nothing done at all.

EDIT: i dont know why i said we had no green lights, i was thinking of his license plate. "Ongreen"

Street racing is always fun especially out where I live because there's not one single cop lol. The race that I just talked about, we didn't have a light either we did the 3 honks. Where did you guys race at? I lived in VA for a good portion of my life.
