I feel that you have learned some important lessons, but let me cover one you might not have thought of: NEVER EVER start a race starting already over the speed limit. That's stupid, dangerous, and noob'ish.

Coerce him into slowing down to 10-20mph below the speed limit: the lower the start, the better the race. It's not hard, you are the guy driving the car that signifies you 'know what you are doing'. He is chasing YOU, not the other way around! So make him earn it: signal him to slow down visually or physically.

NEVER LET THEM dictate YOUR race! He wants a piece, make him do it like a man and not some juvenile ricer. If he is coming up on you in the 'Im interested and am catching you to race' then YOU NEED TO DROP INTO THE RIGHT GEAR AND WAIT FOR HIM TO GET NEXT TO YOU and preferably already start your slowing down!! Here's a pro move- ensure you are decelling audibly when he gets within 10' of you so there is no doubt in his mind that you are not planning on going WOT the second he gets next to you.

If he commits to a flyby and there is any doubt whatsover that you will not be able to erase his jump and destroy him, you DO NOT GIVE IN TO HIS FLYBY!! Flash your high beams a few times after you are sure that you are far enough behind him that he will see it - it surprisingly usually works. Speed up JUST ENOUGH to catch him slowly, but NEVER so fast as too make him think you are doing a ricer flyby.

If he is next to you (whether traffic puts him there or he just seams to be hanging around you suspiciously) you drop it into your lowest/best gear next to him and watch him intently: 8 out of 10 times he will look at you before he guns it: slightly more than 1/2 the time he will make eye contact and then punch it- the other half he will wait long enough for you or him to honk it off.

Never be afraid to flash your lights to signify your interest. Regardless of how foolish it seams, it's what works!

Once side by side and you've either made contact or you've picked up on a que that he is ready to race, YOU SLOW DOWN!!! Start at 50 in a 70mph road, 40-45 in a 60mph road. The second HE stops decelling you have hit his limit and need to immediately honk it off. Be ready for him to go at your first honk since too many idiots dont know the 3 honk.

Fore The Record: I've been in 3,000+ street races in the last 20 yrs. It drives my brother nuts that he can cruise/stalk for races all night long and get nothing when I can get into a legit race within 15-20 minutes of trying. That 3,000+ races mark could EASILY be 20,000+ if I went looking instead of being the husband and dad of 4 kids. As it is, just driving to work and back, I get into 1-2 good races a week minimum: even in winter.

Too bad on getting "beat" but never give it to them. pick the right gear and wax that ***

Amen to that, I was not about to chase his *** down through traffic for a rematch in the right gear, Id rather let him think he's fast then crash my car.

Looked pretty good he was in the slow lane so I passed him doing about 70, and I see him pop out behind me I speed up to 75-80 and get in the far left lane to see if he follows.

Sure enough hes on my *** and as soon as the lane next to me is clear he takes off around me so I throw it in 5th (figured that'd be enough...NOPE!) he comes around me pretty good but by the time his rear door is at my front wheel I stopped his pull we were doing about 100-110 and there was a 18wheeler in his lane so I hit the brakes and he got infront of me and gave me flashers and sped off weaving through traffic then exited and put flashers on again...not sure why he did the flashers again I clearly wasnt racing him to his exit lol..

I have no idea what his car had all I could hear was my car...I had all the parts I use for work, my dads clothes, my clothes, and my pops in the car, I know I shoulda put it in 3rd or 4th but I was still suprised he came around me like that.

your 440rwhp against my 415ish. 5 liters against 6.6-6.7......sounds fair to me...im not skeered. if we ever do it... dig race with set length. best of three....and i get to install a 200 shot.



i found that WS6 in clarksville. im going to pay him a visit and talk about the run, and what mods he has.
