Driving home today (on the typical drag racing road) I see this car in the rearview and this guy is just flying. He probably gained a mile on me in a minute or less....and I was already doing a few over the limit (pushing 60 in a 55). In preparation for what I hoped to be a decent race (yea, I'm the guy who prepares for this lol), I kicked it down into 3 (so I wasnt' beating on 4th right away but I did shift back to D later) and hit the trac button.
So as this guy is getting closer I kick it up to 75 and for a few seconds I notice I'm pulling away from him. I hold 75 for a while then I see him jump in the left lane and now hes starting to gain on me again. I let him catch me and when we get even I get the glance I'm looking for......that was enough of a "lets race" for me.
Pretty much from that point on I was pulling on him and by 90 I had what I'd guess to be a car length or two. After that I gave one tap of the brakes and let off the gas. He eventually passed me but we were still nose-tail at the next stop sign and I kept right with him when he went tearing away from the stop sign. Next light though he turned left and I continued on my way home.
I know it's nothing fancy but a win is a win in my book.
