Default Some fun little runs on my way home

So i decided to use this format because the races weren't really anything special but it all happened on my drive home from Millersville to Philly. Needless to say I made awesome time (just over an hour for 95 mile drive)

1st race: Grand Prix GXP (exhaust?)
60 Roll: he jumped, i pulled back and put about 4 cars till 110
3 70-80 Rolls: he got the jump everytime, but by ~130 i had 3 or so cars
The guy just didn't wanna give up or just wanted to see what it could do I guess

2nd race: 08 TL-S
60 Roll: 2 buses by 130

3rd race: 05 bmw 525 or 535i
70 roll: 2 cars by 120

4th race: whatever the last gen eclipse is GS-T (big exhaust, loud BOV)
Dig: 3-4 cars by 80
40 roll: ran out second gear and he just let out of it 2-3 cars back and made an immediate turn at the next light. After the dig he didn't even wanna line em up but the ricer in him made it happen.

me and the gp were just bombing down the turnpike and cars would come and join us, he'd fall back...let me do work, then when they'd stop trying to play he would run back up to me again. i think the trick to getting alot of runs is having 2 cars out playing around getting other people's attention and then when they try to join the fun you give em some.

The turnpike pisses me off.. I troll along at 60-65 waiting for something decent to fly by whenever I go to the Poconos. In the past 2-3 trips.. nada.

Yeah as would I. Me and the GXP blew by him and then he caught back up to us. Only thing I saw on it when we first flew by was the 5...couldn't make out if it was 525 or 535 at ~110mph...not to mention 70-80 is a crazy dead spot for me.
