Default Weak kill

I was coming home from the track last night and a Dakota pick-up pulled beside me at a red light I didn't think anything of it. When the light turned all I heard was tire sqealing. After I realized what was up I just instinctively stomped the gas and all that happened was I got sideways in the middle of the road. He got me on the first try. The next light I was ready. When the light changed I got a good lauch and pulled him by about 4 car lengths by 45 mph so I just let off. I expected him to do the ricer drive by but he didn't. I know this one is weak but I just got my car and it was my first challenge. I had to take it.

It would have been better if it was a 5.9 R/T. Good job for your first run! Watch out for that sideways ****!

Those 5.9 R/Ts are really cool trucks. No shame in running one of those. Nice kill.
