Default More stupid ricers

Ok, I usually don't have the time or patience to type one of these "encounters", but this one is pretty good. This happened about 6 weeks ago.

I wrapped up a night of bracket racing at SAR in my '94 and was heading home. Since I had been bracket racing, I hadn't been spraying. BUT, for some , sixth sense?, reason I decided to put on my bottle warmer on the way home. I have only the 75-shot jets in, but turns out to be more than enough for what transpires.

I get all the way from Seguin to I-35 and start heading north. It's late and I just want to get home. I'm talking to my wife on the cell (hard in my car due to the exhaust, but still doable) and suddenly I hear farting and buzzing.

It's 2 Ricer Honduhs buzzing around me like flies. Trying to get me to play. I'm on the phone and they are not worthy, so I make a "go away" motion with my hand and keep talking to my wife.

Well a few minutes later I get off the phone and look far down there highway. I still see the ricers! I'm bored, it's still 40 miles to home... and I feel like teaching them a lesson. So, I open my bottle, which is at a nice ~1050 psi now, and accelerate a little to catch up to them.

I check the nitrous again, and pull inbetween them (three lanes, I'm in the middle). We are holding at about 60 MPH. I look over at the one on my left, some red Honda hatch, and make a rolling motion with my hand. I carefully mouth "hit it". The guy gives me a blank look. I continue the motion and say it again. I guess the light bulb came on, cause he mashes that little buzz saw. A split second later I put the hammer down on mine, ROAR! (LT's and true duals) as I pull away like he is standing still. I give it a second and then I hit the nitrous toggle. WHAM! Now it's like the poor bastard put his Honduh in REVERSE ! The guy on the right, I don't know even if he hit it on not, I couldn't tell.

I put a few bus lengths on them and then turn off the spray and let off the throttle.

In my rear view mirror, I see them turn off at like the Kyle exit.

They should have learned something from the experience.

This is the view they had (minus the jackstand of course )

"shop" might be a little stretch, but I also have the "garage" that was originally built on the house. I use the garage basically as a "car bedroom" and the shop is where I do all the wrenching.

That's messed up...Stop picking on the little ricers...that was a waste of NAAAWWWZZZ!

You must be single or have a very understanding wife with the "shop". Hell I am lucky I have what I got! And I think you should share your toys with those less fortunate.

err...thanks!

Here's a pic of the shop the other night. I had just finished up installing the Eaton Posi I got from 1Hawk here on the board. Next to the "Blue Beast" is the one the locals call "the Smurf" because of the BBM paint.

Those are stock. They are just illuminated by the flash from my camera, that's all.

To the other guys, yeah you could say it was a "waste" of N2O, but it was a fun waste. I just wanted to blown them off the road... and it worked.


Yeah, I happen to like Camaros just a little bit.

I didn't know because they are illuminated so differently from your '99s tail lights. Just by looking at the pics, they have to be a little different from the newer ones since the reflectors are set up so differently.
