So some clown in a riced out Eclipse pulls next to me and i just cracked past him in 1st gear. I had my two other friends in the car and we started laughing. Then in my mirror i see this car come flying up behind me and see the SS badge in the grill. We get to a stop light and i hear this thing gargling behind me and the whine of what distinctly sounded likea supercharger. So im driving down these random roads trying to find a straight to race on. I pull over and he waves to follow him and he takes us to this industrial park with a PERFECT 1/4 straight road with no cars on it.
So he pulls up next to me and my friend does the count down. After she says 1, bang we are off. Got a little spin off the line and gained control as did he. Through 1st and 2nd we were pretty much dead even actually i think i had a little lead on him my friend said. Then in 3rd he started pulling on me and 4th he got a little bit over a car.
Next we go from a roll at about 10mph he tells me to just punch it and he'll go when i go. Well i guess the exhaust popped or something and he thought i floored it so he got the jump actually. But again it was similar to the previous race but through 3rd and 4th he pulled about 2-3 cars on me. It was pretty nuts and then he led me back to the original road we started on which was nice. I was talking to him and he was telling me he didnt have a supercharger that it was something for his timing belt or something? I dont remember.
But we got around to talking about track racing and he managed a 12 flat at Atco with the chevelle. He asked what i ran and i told him a 13.5 at Etown cause i didnt launch it good at all with a 2.4 60 foot. I think I should be able to get a 12.9 out of her though when i go back in 2 weeks. Another kid i met at the track was running 12.8s with the exact same mods, street tires, and clutch. So anyways i thought it was a great run in and was impressed that i kept up with a car of that power.
