Well I was on my way to class on Saturday (yes I have a Saturday course) on Rt. 3 in NH and MA. As soon as I got on the ramp a silver Focus ZX3 came up on my tail. I accelerated more aggressively on the curve and he disappeared in my rear view mirror. About 5 miles down the road I slowed down to 70 and he flew by. Win 1 on the day. Then at the NH/MA border I saw another silver car merging on the highway right next to me. I accelerated, then he floored it and I could hear all 10 cylinders pumping away and the Silver Viper GTS was gone. Loss 1 on the day. Of course the story isn't over yet. About another 10 miles down, near Lowell MA, I saw a red car merging onto the highway. I sped up to catch up as he was still on the ramp, then I heard him floor it and all 12 cylinders kicked in. I watched in amazement as I lost again, but this time to a Ferrari Testarossa. This seems hard to believe that I saw those cars, but needless to say I couldn't concentrate during class much. BTW, I've never raced 3 times in a day. It was pretty cool seeing those cars take off. I also got a double take by both drivers. They were probably wondering why there is a Contour trying to race em at over 100 mph.

Kinda reminds me of when I raced a Porsche 911 Turbo just north of Groton, Ct. on 95S.
Stayed on him up to 140mph (he really wasn't
trying that hard to lose me...I think he was
starting to wonder though when the hell I was
going to run out of top end). He got tired of playing hide and seek with me and floored it when I was just starting to crawl past 145mph. I was left in his jetwash to put it bluntly, but five miles down the road (more or less), he was in the right lane getting ready to take the exit and gave me a thumbs up when I passed on his left. As Rosie Perez said in White Men Can't Jump, "sometimes, when you lose, you really win." lol
