Default late night races

well saturday night i went out and had some fun. went 0-2 though, but sometimes weather just works against you.

weather
31-34*
grnd temp
36*
tire temp

Race 1 TBSS
Line up clean the mud off my tires thanks to a dip **** putting it in the road got most of it off i think. rev up to 1800 rpm ease off the line until 40 k about /5 car bad on the SS and the push well i proceed to go through 2 and third sideways all the while staying at the 3/4 mark of the TBSS (0 traction FTL). but i did get these comments
Ricers said "dude you almost lost it" to them i said STFU and rolled my eyes
Muslce guys said " dude that's badass it looked awesome"
learn Ricers live on the my ****s is about to brake world!

Race 2 350z rematch
repeat step 1
off idle launch less spinnage until the shift into two power shift+ cold pavement+ bald tires = 0 traction once again through 3rd, and the race is over. me .5 car back. we now stand 1-1 and when it gets warmer i will crush the 350z. (may have a few go fast goodies if i can justify the spending.)


race 3/4
2002 Gt bolt ons 3.73's tuned Auto.
he wanted to roll race from 30/40 so me with my 0 traction self agreed he said he had beaten machs before. So i just smiled and said well this should be fun then. so we head out get to 30 he gets the hit and mat the pedal make up his 1/4 car lead and continue to pull until im .5 car ahead and i just hold it there.
he gets excited and says i almost had you, i told him yeah you did bro. Going easy on him and all then he said it " I knew they weren't that fast"....so i said now lets go from a 40. he gets the hit again, so i pull 1 car, shift to 3rd pull another, wind out to 110, grab fouth and add another @ 135 i was up by three and slowed down to wave at him, he waved back with thumbs up and went on our separate ways.

the wife called then and the fifth race was one to get my *** home

Damn Rebel, You let that fukn 350z get ya again, lol!! When you get back the first mod you better get are some DRs!!

Good runs man, sucks when traction is nonexistent like that. Sounds like you kept it on the road, thats an accomplishment in itself sometimes.
