well, i am not a big street racer just because i would like to keep my license. but last night we had everything all planned out. a group of guys were getting together, only 3 cars. but 3 turned into 12 really quickly. there was my bimmer (328iS) a 1997 1.8T running 238 at the wheels, a 325is, an E30 M3 (running on R-compounds), a porsche 944 a subaru 2.5RS, Talon TSi, a some little civic hatch back, some other rice, a mazda mx-6, and a totally riced dodge neon. so as you can see there was going to be a clearly defined front of the pack, and rear.
so we all met up at a parking lot, scoped out the rides and such and then took off. i got screwed coming out of the lot and was in 11th of 12 positions. no big deal, iwanted to toy with the pack. because i knew my car would be in the top three fastest, and i knew that i was the best driver there. out of the lot i was directly behind hte porsche, which was behind what was to be the rear of the pack.
we took off up a windy two lane road, it was about 10pm, and 52 degrees out. i had just run my tank down real low, and filled to a quarter tank with 100 octane. there was a stop sign at the start of the run, and everyone tore off it a cloud of tire smoke. the porsche made a quick move around some of the back-end cars and i stuck with him. we took up both sides of the double yellow.
a mile or so down the road the whole pack was doing about 100 even going into a bend, then i saw the subaru whip around he he spun out but stayed on the road. we all juked around and kept pressing on. i made a big move on the porsche, and then another big move on the 325iS. to get around the 325 i had to go left lane full on in 4th gear over a bunch of hills, it was really sweet. i got up to like 120 with cars all around me. i cut in just as we started a hard right sweeper, i could feel the rears stepping out on me.
down through multiple chicanes (trees on the side of the road, not cones) the speed cut off. then a sudden hard left and i saw the neon go off the road, he was done for the day. i ended up right behind the a4 and the m3, even if the neon hadn't gone off the road it was only a matter of seconds before i was going to ice him anyways. that kind of ended the run because we had to push his car out.
what a great night, my car wreaked of tire and clutch.
god i love my car.
