well atleast not ones with so much apparently low skill levels. . .
so yea i won my first attempt at a drag race today in my miata. I had a full trunk, full tank of gas, and a passenger. so i come to the red light and i look over and its a typical ricer of my area. . .acura integra with 3 of the 4 matching rims, overly huge muffler with crazy fart can exhaust, and radio blaren. when i look over i just kind of laugh to myself and and go back to my buisness. . .at the same time thinking theres no way this guy is going to go ahead of me. so the light changes and i accelerate at an acclerated pace. . .noticing his exhaust hit particularly LOUDER db's. so i say fine and just go full out and start pulling away even further. then next light turns red, so he pulls next to me and rev's his engine. i first check to make sure no cops within eyeshot then look over at him. i just kind of smile but my passenger starts tellin me to race him and says something to the other guy about "wanna go". so i say fine and am sitting there for the light. . .suddenly he jumps his car forward and i look over in wonderment. . .apperently he thought it was going to turn green. i just sit there and watch for the light. then. . . it happens it turns green and we both go. first half second i have cought up to the front of his car and then slowly keep increasing the lead. its a big strait and no cars for a while so we just keep going. finnaly we hit about 60-70 mph and the next light turns red. so i proceed to stop and i suddenly hear screatches. i look back and i see his integra at about 45 degree angle with all tires locked. instanly my mind flashes "OH **** " so i let off the brake as much as possible but still enough so that i will be able to stop before the intersection. his locked brakes dont slow him down ANY and he keeps comin towards me and gets within a foot of my left rear quarter. finnaly the car haults to a stop with enough clearence to miss me. . .as a big cloud of smoke passes my car. i chuckle to myself as he pulls in next to me looking like he wants to race again. . .i shake my head in dissapointment and make my right turn, and we went our seperate ways. all in all a pretty funny experience but damn was it ever the scariest point in my driving career.
