War StoriesThis section is for discussion of any races you may have particpated in. If you smoked someone like a pack'o'cools, let us know. Likewise, if you got beat... let us know by what, so we can keep an eye out for it next time.
couple days back was coming home from work. Some young kid in a ram hemi kept tail gating and swerving in and out of traffic trying to race. i ignored it cuz i dont wanna take a chance w/ street racing in a busy Highway.
i get off my exit and he follows shortly. i pull up to the stop light and he rolls his window down and asks if i wanted to race. Sounded like a challenge that i cant back down from. we drove down a few blocks to a dead end street which has houses under construction figured it would be safe enough.
first run i ended up beating him by 2 lenghts. second run was a rolling start and approx by 3-4 lenghts by the time i shut down. my truck has a banks CB and tahts about it.
his truck had a CAI and a full exhuast. in the end he was cool enough to wave as i drove off.

I like a good honest racer like that. When you stomp his *** he waves and says thanks for the race. None of this 'let's fight cuz my truck is slower and ****ty' stuff
Good kill man!!

Thats good to know, a buddy of mine will be getting his ram the same time I get my Titan and hes been talking **** since day one, maybe a race will shut him up, but hey watchout for people like that who knows what else he had planned to do with you/your truck in a secluded construction zone.

thanks, ya he was pretty cool about it. Most people usually just roll the window up and drive off or do what a 89 5.0 mustang did....give me the finger and took off.

I wish there were more racers like that. Back when I was 18 years old, I had a 4.3L V6 S10 with a few mods. A guy with a V6 Camaro wanted to race and was sure he would win. 1st race he spun off the line and I put bus lenghts on him. He was pissed and said the only reason I won was because he spun so I offered to go again. 2nd race he launch perfectly and I still beat him by 1.5 car lenghts. I start slowing down and he does a ricer fly by then slams on the brakes, turns his car to block the road. I stood on the brake pedal in order not to T-Bone him and when I stopped I see him running up to my truck in a fit of rage. I could tell he wanted to fight and before I could get out of my truck he punched me. As I'm trying to shake of the punch I hear something hit my truck and look up to find the guy slammed down against my hood being handcuffed. A cop was pulling out from a side road and saw him punch me.
This dude was older than me and a good bit bigger than me but wasn't man enough to let me get out my truck to defend myself.
I got 2 Kills and a black eye out the deal, he lost and went to jail.

I saw something like that happen a couple months back, but they werent racing, it was road rage. Guy got out and punched the other drivers window and broke it, a cop saw the whole thing and ran out and slammed this dude on the ground. crazy stuff but very entertaining for me!
