Default Just lost to a Civic...

Just raced a Civic. Yeah, I lost, but under what terms? I gave the kid 14 car lengths, and lost by 4. It was a Civic hatch, completely gutted, not sure what he ran in the 1/4. But whatever, **** happens! Wait till I get my stall, gears, and nitrous.

sometimes you eat the rice, sometimes the rice eats you. You got eaten. It sure was nice of you to give 14.

How do you measure out 14 lengths? Was this from a dead stop at a PINKS episode? More info.

You didn't lose to the Civic. You lost to the handicap.

Yeah that's what I usually do, but I was bored last night and wanted to race him.

We counted 14 lengths by us being even, then him going ahead, 1, stopping, and keep going till he hit 14. I only did it because I was bored, and because I wanted to see the changes I'll have when I put the 3200 stall, 3.73 gears, and a 150 shot of N20 in.

You run a 13.4? Did you guys race through the 1/4? That means his car was a 15 second car. Must have been stockish to be gutted and barely win through a quarter...

I ran a 13.4 before adding my current mods and 150-200 pounds off the car. We raced a 1/4. I'm in the neighborhood of low low 13's. I think he ran at the track and ran a 14.8 sometime.

I've seen guys spot heads up, get outta their car and lay the keys on the hood. The other car launches and they grab their keys, hop in the car and STILL annialate 'em. Serious fast cars though.
