cant believe i beat 02 si...

if anyone was at the tracy, california runs on saturday(last night 10/12/02). i decided to get better parking, but the only way out was racing, my boi has an 02 si, than a trd widebody mr2 96? jumped in the middle. i hung with the mr2 but lost,most likely non-turbo, by half a car length. but the si, i was 1 car length ahead. guess he is a new racer, i tried lookin for my boi but i guess he went home. i saw like 4 2k1 civics there, they can back me up. my only weapon, not able to drive a stick for 7 months! thats all i needed to race, the car is stock plus all the body werk

I can take 'em on the street and on the track with stock to light mods. Although, if the SI had the same amount of mods, I'm pretty sure it would win.

It's not mis-shifting, or EX is as quick as Si, or anything like that.

The Si driver was simply a sh-itty *** driver. There's been people who's said that they been RSX-S, Sentra SE-R, etc... probably all true. Cause 90% of people out there can't drive worth sh-it.

i talked to my friend who was driving the si, he said the mr2 was swerving into his lane. and he decided to give up towards the end. maybe he doesnt kno how to race? but that night was a good night for me anyway

Right Right. I mean my friend thinks he is such the big man with his BMW 330 CI and I can't even catch him in his Inline 6 and my crappy 4 cylinder. I dunno I guess an S2000 would shut him up[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

I think its wrong to say the S2000 is slow....I mean the car has no low end power, and by racing only on a 1/4 mile, it doesn't let the car utilize its top end power.
