Everyday someone tries to race me... - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

A little off topic but this is a great story. Came to a stoplight with my RC51 (1000cc v-twin honda) and a neon turbo pulls next to me. Wife and two kids in the car too. He tried to race me. Reved his engine a few time. So I felt like making him look like an idiot that day. He took off as fast as that little car could go. I left it in first while he was going through the gears and stayed wheel to wheel to hear him beat up his car. Then at about 65 I went into second and took off. It was fun. What is going through that idiots mind?

i dont understand why anyone would street race with children in the car! that just screams i dont care about my family.

I don't think anyone has tried to race me. If they do, I'll just ignore them. Save that for the track imo.

You get used to it. I'm always on the highway and it happens like 2-3 times a day. sometimes more. Just laugh at them. they'll get all upset. haha

I get fly-bys every day. You guys knew this would happen. Don't take the bait.

xwd · 07-30-2012, 07:11 PM

Yeah some guy in a vinyl wrapped Jetta today with a fart can almost hit someone today trying to do a fly-by in the middle of rush hour.

I know what you mean man!! By my house we have an interchange that veers off to the right so that people dont have to get over 5 lanes to get on a different freeway. Everyone trys to race me before i get to that part of the freeway but i hold off and then when i get close to it i spank the shit out of them, (nobody ever uses this part of the freeway its pretty open even if traffic is dead stop) it has some sick turns and they just cant hang with me.

Send them a special invitation to the local track... So they can release that extra energy at a proper playground!

Next time someone tries to race you do what Letty does...

Smart man!

When this happens I invite them to the track. They never accept.

grst1 · 07-31-2012, 07:59 AM

I have a bigger problem with minivans, SUVs, corolla's, camry's, elantra's etc trying to squeeze me off the road when 2 lanes merge into 1. A lot of these roads around here and most of merges happen right after the stoplights. I have to take off reasonably fast not to be in a position having nowhere to go...
I think there was only one ricer whom I had to ignore so far revving engine at me on the stoplight.
