Street/Strip Raced a guy from a light? Had that ride of yours on the timed track? Tell your story here.

What does this mean when another driver does this?

I see moron season is open everywhere now. I had a pinhead in a Slobalt try to race me in 10 degree weather 3 weeks ago. My temp gauge hadn't even moved yet. Besides, how stupid would I look getting my licence pulled street racing? I drive a truck.

check bluebeast's sig. "roll racing isn't racing, it's two retards speeding together"

I do't think you can say it any better

Probably relatively humorous.

It means you should get them to pull over, and rip their faces off.

Ignore them.

Now that I am aware of this BS the ricers are doing more often. I will be on the look out for them coming up from behind me. I would be crazy aggravated if it happened to me. I'm the kind of guy that will follow you home and talk enough $hit until you bring your car back out. I had a guy in a black new edge kinda style mustang run up behind me the other day. I saw him ripping through traffic about 3 blocks behind me as I just passed him on the 4 lane hwy while he was waiting to pull out onto the main hwy. I kept my eye on him in my rear view as he was going in and out of tight traffic trying to get up to me. I let off the gas pedal and let him have a chance to catch up to me. He came up beside me, going a slight bit faster than I was. He looks over into my car and gives me a thumbs up, I returned the thumbs up and thought, should I or should I not. I let him go on ahead of me about a full car and a half. I was in 3rd (C4) about 30 mph and I just flat foot the car, it picks the front up and sets down in the rear real hard. I shoot past him in a millisecond and let off the gas and brake hard to let him come up beside me again. As he rolls by he throws up both hands and shrugs his shoulders and mouthed off something to the sort of not having anything under his hood and he didn't want none. My wife is in the passenger seat laughing her guts out because she has never been involved in cars before her and I got together. I felt bad to do this to the guy, but he made it a point to catch up with me in traffic so I felt like he needed to be put in check. Ol boy seemed like an OK guy, he had the "please don't beat me up look" on his face when I passed him. I let him go ahead of me into traffic and continued my stalk through town. There is a pecking order in each and every town. I am trying to find out if I am on top or not.

My thoughts exactly. What's the challenge in stomping on it when you're already moving? I'd rather have a good driver's race where we leave from a light and it comes down to traction and control of your own car. But I guess when you're putting power through the front wheels and fighting physics one will look for anything in an attempt to even the playing field huh?

i enjoy a good drivers race as much as anyone.

but roll races are useful.

if you actually want to know which car is faster. (despite 60' times and driving capabilities)

roll racing is fun too.

you cant stop on the freeway.

Yep Yep....

I enjoy a good dig race but normally lose because I lack the driver mod.. once moving I get a chance to show what the car can do without the drivers lack of skill getting in the way.
