Just curious if the owner of the Silver (might have been suzuka blue) AP2 that raced me this past friday was on here. If so props, if not I guess he'll never read this. This was only the second race Ive ever participated in with this setup. The outcome of both races were very similar with the first being a header/exaust 99 Camaro.
When I got on 85 @ hwy 53 exit he went past me in the left lane. Next thing I know we are both weaving our way through the idiots driving 70 in the left lane. We are both rolling 85, he is in front of me the whole time in the left lane and Im just riding in the right rockin out with my earphones to some Oh, sleeper. As we approach commerce exit I notice he starts to slow down a bit then nails it when we are even. I intentionally didnt try to race him before this because I always used to hate being picked on by faster cars. I wouldnt try to race my car in an S2K unless I had a turbo.
Anyway, traffic got really heavy all the sudden and I couldnt catch up and was afraid he'd just take off. Then around exit 160 I cleared the last trucker and see him pull into the right lane. I drop to 3rd and let him hit it then I go. It takes a split second to hit my powerband and btt I actually get my T56 to go into 4th (something it hasnt liked doing lately) I look in the rear view to see a large gap. Around 5-6 cars maybe, and much to my suprise there was no import fly by. So I gave him theand he did the same. Very rare to see an impromptu racer to be so cool. I imagine we ended up racing out of boredom as he kept going when I hit my exit near SC.
