    Default my white IS vs. 997 GT3

    the other night i stopped by bp to see if anyone was out and about. nobody was there so i rolled down to indian trail and again, nothing to be found. i decided to head back home and on the way a silver 997 GT3 pulls up. i wasn't sure if he wanted to play, so i dropped it a gear and just gave him a little taste. he immediately fell for my tactics and we slowed down to about 60.. on the first 2 runs, i will admit to jumping him only because i don't think he could hear my horn over my brake-boosting. so i got the jump and the first 2 runs were identical with me pulling about 2 cars ahead till 120.. around 120-130 he would start to pull back and would eventually overtake me but we would both shut down at about that time. on the 3rd run, he honked and i nailed the 3rd honk, almost seemed like i jumped him again, but this time i pulled about 2.5 cars... and about 125-130 he reeled me back in but we shut down pretty much side by side.

    not so sure if this is considered a win... but i was still happy that i pulled the initial 2 or so cars. i thought i was going to be murdered. that is all.

    Yea the GT3 not all that impressive in a straight line but it can handle like no other.

    Was the driver a black guy? On 85?

    I know that GT3 if it was a huge black guy. He's a pro ball player who's an active poster on Bimmerforums. I road race with him, we are frequently in the same solo groups at Chin events. He's a great guy and a real enthusiast and will almost never turn down a race. His driving is good but relaxed, he dosn't push envelopes like he does on the pro football field. Put it this way, me and him and few others would all pit out at the same time to mess around, yet i'm in a mildly prepped E36 M3 and he's in a GT3 (both on R comps). He's out there for fun not to win. Hah he ran over my thumb in that GT3 once..hurt like a bit..ch. Still got a scar

    He also owns an S63 and a modded M6. Him and his buddies are always at the track and they are just great, down to earth, fun people to hang out with. They know cars too.

    Probably. Haven't hung out with him since summer and he's always changing up the cars. Your probably right, will delete the names out of respect. I'll ask him if he minds, as he is open about it at the events he's at and on other forums.

    That white GT3 belonged to my neighbor and that's how I met him. He no longer has that one for private reasons.

    He had a white 996 GT3 but .....

    Actually that info needs to be kept completely private. I was there when that happened and it should never be information that gets out.

    Dan have you ever run your white IS. I didn't think know it was that quick.

    Nice kill.. On my way home Friday night there was a silver 997 Turbo and a yellow Ferrari behind me that jumped on the highway to play. They kept trying me, but I wasn't even close to operating temp since I had just left my friends house. They probably thought I was a little bitch.. lol

    It's not an insurance issue. Believe me my uncle is my insurance agent and he has seen some of my time trail events in person, in cars he knows his agents are insuring. It's the simple fact that he could jepordize his career if his coaches found out. Details like that need to be kept off of public forums with names..out of respect. I know these guys much more than a hey at a car meet and they'd appreciate it.

    Hydro assumed I said not to talk about it for insurance reasons when that is irrelevant. Your not even covered like you said and my insurance provider and myself are aware of that when I do events.
    It doesn't matter if it happened in the off season, on season etc, he denies it no matter what random fans ask him about it or something related and it shouldn't be publically announced here unless you feel like being a d..ick

    What's your point? I know all about the car. Ask him about the kid with the black M3 that was put into the wall by a 996 GT3 when it poped a coolant line. That was his first weekend on R888's.

    That was me. Black ice is no fun. I've seen you no the forum but have we met? Did you take a look at that Zo6 behind me? I regret not having Mr. X named Red Gt3 owner pay for all of it but I did not want to start any problems on an already great day. I finished putting the car back together on a Thursday and ran CCA that Friday hahah.

    Yeah I was there, whoever I was with knew you but I can't remember who it was lol?! Been at the track a dozen times since and I'm on cold medicine and can't sleep...maybe I'll remember later! The Z06 was TRASHED, under a car cover it was barely recognizable as a corvette

    Yeah I was there, whoever I was with knew you but I can't remember who it was lol?! Been at the track a dozen times since and I'm on cold medicine and can't sleep...maybe I'll remember later! The Z06 was TRASHED, under a car cover it was barely recognizable as a corvette
    I know I couldn't believe they were perfectly fine. I don't know what happened to him. They claimed to just break the rear end on 12 (coolant spill I dunno??) but the kid driving was going beyond what he was capable of i.m.o and I don't even know if the GT3 was spilling there like it did at 1. He was refusing to let me by for a few laps then when I squeezed by and proceeded to run away I noticed him trying to match what I was doing then boom...Then all the sudden it was a complete loss of any type of traction for me.

I know these guys much more than a hey at a car meet and they'd appreciate it.
    Is that so? Why aren't you on their forum then?

    Why do I need to be a part of another forum? I am a part of plenty..Why does it matter if i'm on there forum? I see this person and his friends on a regular basis at a lot of the off seaon club events. I don't need to take time out of my day to check another forum.
    They are just people who I see in person on several occasions doing the same hobby and who I have specifically noticed keep quiet when it came to relate there hobbies (car racing, passing, wrecking etc.) and their career. Also, when accusations by interviewers (radio etc.) were asked if this person does do this stuff(racing) is was rubbed off like it was not true. Also an instructor told me his coaches do NOT know about these hobbies implying it would be bad if they did. Therefor, those reasons are WHY I believe info on the wreck etc. should be kept quiet out of respect, because from what I have heard he would not like everyone in the general public to know. For example, OMG X athlete does this hobby, if he wrecks he could loose his career he shouldn't do that (and not get to continue what he loves). Get me?
