Default finally

Sorry but long..........Well last nite after i left the station in dover from workin nite shift (fire dept)at dover downs i pull out and theres an 04 blue mustang GT 5sp and he throws me a lot of revs. so i go out on the highway ( almost 2am, no traffic near edgehill) and he he gets next to me and want to race cause i hear him down shift. Im already in 3rd(35-40mph) and i hear him stab the throttle well im so hyped up cause iv never found a race yet that once he touches the gas i floor it and i pull on him pretty hard. Well i only get up to bout 65 and cut it off. It was over quickly................ Well he gets up to me and passes me and says ill race you from the light!!! i say uh ok and then it dawns on me that that means from a complete stop with no forward motion involved at first so my 60ft times of 2.4, honestly my son 1yr old son could launch this car better than me, are going to come into play. Damn. well it was the only time in the history of mankind that from kmart to rt1 light that all and yes all the lights were freakin green!!!!!!!! And they even had cars on the other side tryin to cross!! so we hit the rt1 light and it turns green and maybe it was the girl laughing i noticed in his passenger seat or i was just jamin to death magnet but the lite turns and he takes off and i say **** and just nail it!!! well i realized that my unborn daughter, which will be here in 6 weeks can launch this thing better than I. I fish tail all over but.................. but end of second i caught em and started to pull on him but hit traffic so we killed it. Hittin another light was just a lost cause but we slowed to about 20 and hit it from there and 80-90 i had him by about 5-6 cars.after the cheswold light. he signaled for me to pull over and we sat there for a while and talked. First ? " is that stock!!" Real nice guy in the military. his wife it turned out to be was just droolin all over my car! I tried to make some nice comments about there car but always ended up your car is so hot! Every few sec. i hand to flash my ring finger in from of me just to show i was married! my wife would have laid the smack down! lol anyway nice people. They say that there is a place that they go locally and race in a closed road somewere with cones set up.? never heard of a place like that around. So i guess i got my first kill.

part 2 - Just as i was passing kraft on the way home i pass this black 99 cougar with dual exhaust jsut doin the speed limit. Well he does the ricer flyby on me and im like uh yeah ok. well it got under my skin a little so i was following him and i find myself not turning into my devolpment and i decide im gonna doa ricer flyby and i see he nails it as i get in the other lane. well he couldnt even see my tail lights i was going so fast. well i slow down to about 70 and as were just about to pass haus meat store he come flyin up on my *** and i know hes gonna do the flyby again so i said na. i dropped it in third and he pulled to go round and i nailed it . the closest he got was my rear fender and i left him standin still. i know a waste of gas but get while you can i guess. hehe.
