I won at drag racing.

I wasn't even planning on going drag racing that weekend at all until I had the bright idea to con my sister into letting me use her restored GTO to race with. She raced in the Sportsman field while I raced in the Novice Street because I haven't raced in years. Turns out the people in there are truly horrible so its not really much of an achievement. Pretty much as long as my reaction time was good I was going to win every time. My dad in his 68 Firebird only got to the 3rd round, sister got to the 4th and my class only had 5 people in it but everybody could buy back in for 5 dollars one time for first and 2nd round so we ended up going 5. It was king of the track day and the winner was going to get a Wally trophy. Too bad Novice Street wasn't allowed to participate in that =( I think I coulda took the winner XD

40 bucks, a trophy, a win sticker, and a beer bath. Not bad for a days work.

Here's the win ticket. Sorry about bad quality - was folded in my pocket and had beer spilt on it.

Notice my bad reaction time and his insanely horrible reaction time (perfect is 0.500 - anything under is red). His car couldn't run his number either. Because I was so far out ahead, I pretty much coasted over the finish line in fear of breaking out(going faster than what I said I'd run). This is bracket racing. Your pretty much racing yourself. Get a perfect reaction time and make your car run the number you said it would perfectly and you'll win.

I DO CAR RACES ON PUBLIC STREETS IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE IT IS MUCH MORE MANLY

You're the one on the bottom, right?

He's the team mascot.

Sweet way to go

congratz

Fastest run of that day was a 9.46 @ 75mph when the air cooled down and there was no humidity. We race an 1/8th mile track out in the middle of nowhere.

Also, nobody understood what 1337 meant.

Lol nice and congrats.

Oh shit, oh fuck, oh my, the time has finally come.

lol, gratz?

It's also more idiotic.

I assume you've never gone before. Its not about driving skills at all. You go there, have a good time, check out some really nice cars, hang out with your friends, learn a thing or 2 about your own car from other experienced people and make some racing buddies. The difference between us and the roundy-rounders across the street is that we take care of our cars. You'll never see custom paint jobs with ghost flames and chrome pipes that can carry a wheelie for 20 feet.

It wasn't specifically talking about the event you went to. Just a stab at drag racing in general.

You won't see that in other types of racing either. Maybe in street racing, minus that wheelie shit.

Actually rbz you only see that stuff in hollywood movies.

more idiotic = MOAR WIN



grats man

congrats
