This night starts out very boring. I am tired after work, just left discount tire and got some nitto 555rs mounted on the back and before you know it, my gf has made plans for us at a christmas party. The party is somewhat boring, its over off near Spring just north of Houston TX. I have only had 1 drink and am bored out of my mind, so I sneak out of there just to get away.

I go to sit in my car and this ricer civic is driving down the street and throws a rev as he passes my car. I cant take that shit, so I crank my car up, cammin its balls off because its cold as shit. So then I turn this getaway into a cruise. I go driving down this residential neighborhood around 9:45-10:00 tonight and end up heading south on 45. I was completely turned around not knowing about the intersection of Hardy Toll Rd and 45.

Either way I am cruising south on 45 and am about to bust a u and head back to the party. Just before I reach the U turn under the freeway this black trans am with at least exhaust comes hauling ass out in front of me and romps on it to the u turn. So I dont slow down near as much to catch up with him and see whats up.

As we start to head north on 45 feeder, I pull along side of him and he is jumpin and jumpin making short pulls. At this time, I decide, FUCK IT, and make a quick 2-4 pass to show him I am down. I throw it back in 2nd and slow down to around 50ish. He comes cruising on up and I am thinking we are going to a 50 roll, with out me paying attention its down to 30 and he is in 1st and starts the honk off procedure. Im like, FUCK, I am in 2nd @ 30 MPH, I am toast, no matter the mods this guy has. As the 3rd honk rolls out, I romp on it, this guy immediately pulls ahead by quite a few cars, obviously, and I am kicking myself in the ass. When I reach my powerband in 2nd, I stop his pull and start to reel him in. By this time he is AT LEAST 5+ cars in front of me. But I am gaining hard and I go to throw it in 4th to make the pass and what do ya know, locked out and clutch overheated and stuck.

So he gets the win and I get my death. There are no excuses for my clutch and gear selection. The only one to blame is myself. I wanted a rematch, but my clutch is already jacked up and I know my gf is wondering where the fuck I am at. So I give him a thumbs up and go about my way. Hopefully one day soon I can get a good rematch.

For all I know he could of been stock with exhaust, but on the street it is run what ya brung, and I brought a dumb driver with the wrong gear selection and a worn out clutch and hydraulic system and he got me good.

Good run! Can't win them all, even if you should on paper. I've done that before where you know that you shouldn't have chased due to being in the wrong gear, or giving up a big jump, etc. Car looks great with those wheels!

Eh it happens to the best of us. At least you admitted defeat instead of making up excuses. Thumbs up
