Default Raced a 350z last night...

I was wanting to run a 350z last night but they guy dident want to run...so i decided to run my ws6 against my friends camry. This is where it gets sad. I gave him the hit then i flew past him and decided to be nice to him and keep it close. Well i lost the race LOL. I dont know what the hell happend but everyone thought i was serious that race. So then the 350z guy thinks im slow and decides to run me.

Ok, so we're lined up and he was CREEPING. We had to start the race 2 or 3 times because of him. When we finally do get a clean launch he pulled out 1.5 to 2 cars. (the place that we race always has a little bit of **** on the road so good launches are pretty much impossible) Well about half way through second gear i started to get traction. After that i was constantly gaining on him. Once we hit third we were even. I just kept pulling on him the entire time. I ended up beating him by about 2 1/2 cars.

He slowed down early because he had some tire trouble. At first im thinking sure. Once we get back to everyone and check it out DAMN! The guy that started us said he saw sparks from his tires. Sure enough there were wires coming out of his tires. Those thigs were gone. Well the sad thing is he STILL outlaunched me and i STILL beat him by about 2 1/2 cars before he slowed down. I wanna race him again once he gets some new tires.

I should have a video of it too, ill try to get that posted.

LOL thats a great idea. Its terrible for the losing car, they get hit by lil bits of rocks and sand. It dosent really hurt me that much since i never loose I launched my car from 1500 too and spun em like a madman at about half throttle.

DR dont do you any good. when your car is a daily driver... learn to launch the car. thats the best advice ive learned to apply enough throtlle off the line that the tires try and loose traction but not fully and at the same time im still getting optimal acceleration. like someone else once taught me press the gas and say hippapotimus while pressing the gas. you should be fully wot at the same time you finish saying the word. its works

Wow, thats crazy and if he was on stock tires those things suck. Anyway that's still a pretty good race but if you had to start over 2 to 3 times because of him, you should have just been like look it is what it is just race bro. lol
