R6 on 45N and Beltway West. Just curious if you're a member here? I seen him roll through the Kemah meet on Saturday. Then seen him again on 45N and again on the beltway. Just curious what my car looks like from behind? I just lowered it some more, does it look even?

We started out on 45N. I just showed him a little of what I was about, and I pulled on him instantly out of 3rd (3800rpm), which surprised me. Since I never have run a bike, I thought it would tear me up off the hit, but that wasnt the case so I rolled around to the beltway to see if I could actually beat him.
On the beltway I was cruising @ 70, slowed, downshifted to 3rd @ around the same RPM as the first time (3800). I signaled for him to take the hit, he was right at my door, jumped up to my fender, and I immediatly pulled him again. By the time my shift light went off in 3rd (6200) he was already 1-1.5 cars back, I let out when my shift light went off in 4th (115-120) and I could see him in my rearview off to my driver side but dont know how far back he was because I had to put the brakes on due to traffic. I know I hurt his ego though. Had to of. Surprised me, I never thought I could beat a bike.
It was all black with silver decals.

Sorry I forgot about this post. I havent had the chance to run anyone since I got the car together. So this was my first race, and first time running a bike at that, so I wasnt sure what was going to happen.

Where you at in Pearland ProjecT9 & Inspector?
I'm in Banbury Cross in old Pearland. Can't say I've seen either of you guys cars around, but I'm usually driving my hooptie ('89 mustang).

nice kill. had a run in like this but with a blue n white 02 gsxr on i-45 north. we did the race twice and both times the same exact outcome. however the guy was cool about it and even gave a thumbs up! we went from a 40 + roll and took it to 140 mph both times. and both times got him by 1-1.5 cars
