Red face Ghey race but good story!

Finally, for ever since the begining of the year is either been raining, rodes wet, snow or ice so traction is not so good and finally dry but cold rodes. So I pull up to a stop light coming home from work not looking for a race since its around 7 degrees here and I just want to get home. So a newer body style Ranger pulls in the left lane. Were sitting there and he keeps swawing the truck back and forth because its a stick. Im thinking to myself, "Not even worth the time or gas and I really hope he doesnt do what I think hes wanting to do". The light turns green and he rips out the hole well at least he tried. I wasnt going to let a little punk kid think he won. Before the intersection was through I was way past him and still pulling like he was standing still . I think he got a little pissed then at 70 I slowed down and he tried to do the typical ricer flyby and I hit the downshift, he couldnt get 4 lenghts from me. He cut over hard behind me and went into a Walmart parking lot. I was gonna ask him if he wanted to try again but I didnt have the opportunity. BTW there was no one on the road but he he did pick the wrong truck to run tonight.

Snakeoiler, all the problems with the headers are gone. The probelm I had was the passenger side header clam that goes over the cat and pipe loosened and slip down so I tightened it and also found the culprit for the #2 missfire, a freakin loose spark plug!!! so I also tightened it and it runs great.

Ok I've read post after post where people refer to a "ricer flyby". What on earth is that? Is that where when you slow down they keep going? Do they buzz you and cut in front of you?

Well after you beat them, and when you slow down, they (the person your racing) decides not to and they flyby you and declare themselves the winners! Ghey isnt it!

Oh yeah, then I should knock that off . I have been in some races however where I've lost out of the hole and I start to make up some good distance coming up on 70 MPH (where most V8's will out-torque a 4 or 6 cyl) and as the person realizes they're about to lose to a 4200 lb truck, they let off the gas....... Does that mean I do a ricer flyby?
