Default Finally some action!!!!!

I am going heading down the street when I see a NBM WS6 and a Viper right behind him going the opposite direction. As the WS6 goes by, he revs at me. That was all I needed. I have been rather starved for some good action and this turned out to be good. I turned around and headed after them. The Viper let me on by and the WS6 was waiting. First race.....he gets the jump(from behind though) and starts coming up on me and when he gets near, I hit it and stopped his progress. That was about it and then we came up on some traffic. Second race...He has the jump again and I must have been on the rev limiter for what seemed like 5 seconds before I realized it. It was enough for him to take a half car and keep it until we came up on some traffic. We were well into 4th gear though. It was one of those races where you would have raced to the top of fifth just to see how it would come out. Anyway, a good race and the rev limiter killed me. His car was so friggin loud that I couldn't hear mine. Third race......second gear punch from about 45mph. We were dead even from the start(seemed like the first 2 he began from behind and had a running start) and he made the move again. I pulled in second well into third.....just a very small steady pull to where I had about 3/4 of a car by the top of third and then traffic came up again. We pulled over to talk. He is an LS1Techie. His car is a cammed 2000WS6 with all bolt ons. He said it dynoed a little over 400 at the wheels. Damn strong car for stock heads. Anyway, our cars were very close and they were great races. He had his buddy in the car and the dude was pretty big. They were probably packin' close to an extra 300lbs of flesh over me. Anyway, very cool guys and nice cars. The dude in the Viper had his 2 yr old daughter with him so he was a no go. He just hung back and spectated. Stafford, it was good meeting you and your boys and gimme a PM anytime you wanna go out and play. I hope my storytelling is accurate.

Good runs. Yea why did bullitt change the times in his sig. Maybe he took off the "top secret" mods he refused to tell us about . That's probably what slowed his quarter down so much.

hey evilstang, that time that was in my sig was a typo. I've already said that before. Get over it man. Why dont you go drive that POS camaro of yours. no one on here is cool anymore. The cool ones used to be evilstang, tit bar, and flynlo. Now it's only flynlo and marokid. What has happened here? Later.
A typo huh? Yeah right. I think someone needs a time-out or he's not going to get his cookies and milk before bedtime...
