Attention: SRT-8 Jeep on I-20 WB (Panola Rd.)

**andrewkd16** · 08-24-2009, 10:16 PM

Hey man didn't know if you were on here but just wanted to say good race!

For the ones who don't know what I am talking about i'll explain...Ok so I was headed back from augusta on I20 WB to Atlanta and around Panola Rd I was just cruising around 85-90mph and the Jeep rolls up from nowhere. I was admiring it for a while and all of a sudden he hits the gas and catches the cars in front. I was like hmmmmm.....I have never really raced one of these I wonder how i would fare. So I caught up to him and was riding around 80mph and he sees i am giving chase and he kicks it up and starts moving through traffic quickly I drop it from 6th to 5th to give chase so he doesnt get away and just follow him through the cars. We get to a small piece of clear road and I jump beside him. I had the window down and i motioned with my hand when i was beside him to slow down. We both slow to 55ish and i did 3 honks and we both hit the gas! I think i jumped just a hair...but anyone who does the three honks i believe will always have just a bit advantage since they know when the 3 honk will come but from 3rd gear to 4th i get maybe a car on him and from then on from 55 to around 125-130 i just keep that car length. He stayed pretty close and when we caught the traffic and slowed he jumped beside me and rolled down the window. I offered one more race and let him do the 3honks but he was exiting so he waved and i acknowledged him and we parted ways.....

Who would have known the story before you told it...?

**andrewkd16** · 08-25-2009, 10:06 PM

^well everyone doesnt know just the 2 guys in the jeep and thats why i posted to see if they were on here to say good race didnt really get to talk to him...so i figured i would see if he was on here to tell him. and i figured if i just said good race people would have asked what happened so i just went ahead and told the story at the same time killin two birds with one stone

**Fast4DoorDC** · 08-25-2009, 11:14 PM

**onebadgt** · 08-26-2009, 12:17 PM

nice run, but srt8 jeeps suck from a roll, were dig monsters. we can cut 1.6 60 fts on the street all day. but only trap like 102-104 stock.

1.6 60 ft time is the time it takes to get from the tree to the 60ft mark. Pretty simple.
