What do you mean by this? Its always funny when people seem to get upset on here that other people dont film their races so people can watch online. If you want to see some races, go out and race some people and see it live, instead of sitting at home in your chair waiting to see other people.Originally Posted by ixlr8
Hmm. We'll I had a different view on the first run. I honestly wasnt watching constantly as I was busy dodging traffic, but when I glanced over near the end, I didnt see you out the side window. My friend riding with me said you jumped a little off the kick but that I pulled it back in 3rd and was in front of you and pulling when I had to get full lock on the ABS when that van changed right lanes in front of me. And that was still third gear. The second run I was getting boost spikes and kept bouncing of the fuel cut and I got pulled... Im not going to use that as an excuse though because it was a race, so yes, I got beat on that run.Ok guy's. First off there is no video. The battery was dead!
All I have to say is my car needs and after last night will be on the track from now on. Having bellows of smoke coming from the rear tires at over 130mph is cool but not to fun. I had traction issues and Chris (lightspeed) had his own issues, but if you can call it a race then I guess I beat him both times. Lightspeed can fill in the rest of the details. I was to busy driving and keeping it straight.Good fun for sure!
I think it be more fair to call it 1 and 1 if anything, since it seems youre saying that tires spinning on the first run means you should still would have beat me? I dont think it is fair to make that call.
Ive always had a lot of respect for you and your car, both for how nice/fast your car is, and youve always been laid back and cool to hang with in-general. I really hope this doesnt get dramatic and change over different perspectives here. If I did get outrun legitimately I wouldnt have a problem saying it, since I respect you and your car is pretty much a race car now and is definately rediculously fast. But I dont think we had reasonable runs to really determine much at-all.
Id be glad to do it again whenever, but I want to go somewhere where there arent cargo vans and we can actually get some full runs

Honestly Chris, I didn't see you anywhere and I didn't see you in front of me either. I was just going off of what the guy's that were right behind you said.Hmm.

They said i was ahead of you by a car to a car and a half when you had to get on the brakes,as what will said in the yellow vette also. I am not sure as I was trying to keep straight. If you want to do it again we can. Up to you.
Besides, you told me that you was catching back up to me anyway??LMK!

I guess I just dont know then. The only person I asked was my buddy in the car with me. He said you jumped out but I ran you back down and was in front and pulling before I hit the brakes. I didnt see you beside or in-front of me at the end, but I cant honestly swear to either account. My experience is that youve always been a stand-up person and I dont think youd make anything up, so Im not sweating either way.
I know the way you pulled the second run that even without me hitting fuel cut it would have been tough to keep up. Like I said a long time ago, Im sure youve got too much for me now anyway and that I just wanted to run something really fast to see where Im at.
Id just like to see a full run between us to see before we call it for sure.
Lets get up soon for a totally private event...no followers, posting, etc. We can even bring redundant camera's LOL, but youll have to have someone ride with you. Or, get Bill to follow us out with the yellow car and a friend of mine can ride with him and film.
Its all good in my book and I had fun regardless. Talk to you soon.

I know william also, and I know he is cool guy and I dont expect he'd make it up. Although I do know he is prone to spraying people in supposedly all-motor runs thoughwill in th eyellow twin turbo z06 said hunter was in front on both runs. he also witnessed hunter and clark run too. he is a standup oldschool streetracer like me from back in the day. if he said thats how it went down, then thats how it went down.(he'll know what Im talking about
)
I would expect that the guy riding with me had a better perspective on what was going on than someone behind us, though. I had to ask him for a re-cap because I wasnt watching the whole time, and he affirmed what I thought. And, in the end its really moot since we weren't even half way through the run when I had to hit the brakes for the van...
Regardless, its all good and I talked to chris and we're going to re-do it soon, but this time in a better spot. So Im going to try to withold further discussion until then.

Well the hypothetical situation here is that when ****'s not video taped and we see it live this is what happens........................................... ....

Amazing what those little recording devices can do to people.I know william also, and I know he is cool guy and I dont expect he'd make it up.

Plus my computer chair is far more comfortable than any seat of a car I have ridden in except maybe a GTO. Not to mention it would have saved me 10 minutes of reading and making a post which would have cut down on my energy usage. That in turn saved the cutting down and burning of a tree somewhere and I would have had the pleasure in knowing I saved a family of birds living in that tree. Now your a bird murder and a tree killer. Hows that feel huh! Huh!
anytime
