my girlfriend just gets quiet during the race, grabs the oh **** handle, or something to press up against, since she will get nervous, and then after it she laughs and rejoices about how fun it was, and how i just got my *** handed to me by some ls1 or something of that sort......



Aklthough, in the stang last night got 2 out of 3 kills. got a bolt on 95 mustang GT by a car, i outshifted him, suspecting a loss, but nope.

2nd kill was a mid 90's GS-T eclipse with BOV and Catback, nothing special.

3rd car was a 99 pewter TA, but the **** refused to race cause he had his child in the car, so it was not a big loss for me. Good parenting on his part.

It's not the speed or the power that makes my g/f scared. To her it seems that the car is out of control because the tires just can't handle all the power so it gets sideways. That's what does it. Little does she know that I have it under control. There's a method to the madness.

My girl does the same thing, she hates mudding cause it seems you have no control of the vehicle, but then again at the end of the day, she is happy she went out there and really enjoyed herself just like racing at the street.

she did agree with me that she loves the smell of Racing fuel. AHHHH the smell of C-16 in the morning
