So, tonight I am on my way home and stop at a light on a back road. Then I hear that annoying sound - a big bore weed whacker. Look in my right hand mirror and a pimped Honda Del Sol is rolling up to the light.

The kid gets to the light and decides to let everyone know he has installed a useless 3" megaphone pipe. Blat! Blat! Blat! I look out my passenger window and half laugh. Again - Blat! Blat! Blat! and he starts inching forward.

Well, time for school to begin.

The light turns green and we have an open road ahead. We both go for it. He leans in hard and the weed whacker is rolling. I smoothly roll into the throttle. He leans on it hard and shifts to second as we are door to door. I continue to roll into the gas, now a little past half way.

My 1-2 shift occurs and I put it to the floor. He shifts, and I walk away..

At 70 I back off and roll down to 55. Then the weed whacker flies by and I laugh even harder; wondering how much more fun it would have been if my Contour was running well.

Nothing like burnt rice!

I must say, I didn't think that would qualify for street racing...


Lesson learned.
 
Street racing - organized (loosely) event with intent to violate law and endanger persons. Money, cars, or other incentive at stake.

Stop light run - momentary acceleration run to near legal limit for grins and giggles.

Just thought this was no big deal. I have learned and will not repost such in the future.

Youll learn quickly that any sort of racing around here isnt tolerated unfortunately...unless its at the drag strip.

People can assume all they want where you raced. But if you state it was on a public road then your fugged...


I must admit i love this rule of no street racing stories.

Only because you would have 100's of kids making up stories about how they beat such and such car by 5-10 car lengths:blackeye:. Then argue till the end on how fast there car is.

Glad that drama is stopped on here before it ever began.

Uh dicks? There are rules, read them and abide by them, and you can stay on the site, street racing is dangerous and illegal, others were merely pointing out that he violated these rules. Besides he took it well and I commend him for that.
 
Thank you for your comments. I intended to share a funny story and believed it would not violate the rules. But as with Business Law 101 you learn interpretation is very important.

Now to all of you... NO RACING! ;)
 
Sad thing is, everyone on the boards has done it, Forum rules or not....:nonono: temptation gets the best of EVERYONE!
