Cocky Co-Worker gets smacked around at the track So, I start talking with a co-worker about cars and it eventually ends with a callout and a race at the track.......... He starts popping off at the mouth about his AWD turbo car that can hang with stock V8 RWD cars. I proceed to tell him that I have a stock motor RWD V8 car that he can't begin to hang with. I was ready to just run him on motor and prove my point. However, he continued to yap yap yap. You know the type I'm talking about. They talk and talk and talk, yet they don't know what the fug they're talking about. They know enough to impress the people that don't know anything, however, it's just the info they've read about it. He continued to gain more confidence as he ran his mouth in front of his peers. I just sat back and watched the show. Quietly. He continued to talk about the superior AWD car.
At this point, I had enough and let him know I was going to turn the bottle on and put 'multiple' bus lengths on him. He proceeded to say that I wouldn't be able to get traction on the bottle and it would work to his advantage. There was No Way I would put multiple bus lengths on him. Yes, I might beat him on the bottle, but not by that much.
I let him set all the 'rules'... Had to drive to work and then the track. (100+ miles round trip). I wasn't allowed to change my tires. And I had to put more than 2 bus lengths on him that is easily noticeable in video.
Little did he know what he was getting in to...
Here we are at work:
We agreed to run 3 times ahead of time.
Round 1. He misses fourth. (It wouldn't have mattered anyway)
Round 2. I red light. Uh oh. 1-1 now...
At this point he starts to realize he's bitten off way more than he can chew and he's going to be eating some crow in the morning. I let him know that I'll sit at the line for 1.5 seconds after green before I leave and I'll still put bus lengths on him. You would have thought he would have already learned his lesson. But again, got the... No Way will that happen speech. (My reaction time ending up being 1.8 sec before I left) Enjoy!
