Default just had a run with a SRT-10..

I was getting out of my house to go to the post office, and came to the stop sign and there was a RC SRT-10 on the other side of the the stop sign waiting to turn too, so I turn and while Im turning I give it a little rev... so he bites and floors it right behind me.. so I wait and turn at the red light to get on the servie road of the beltway and he comes right behind me not knowing he is going to punch it right away, so he is at my rear bumper when I hear him punch it!! oh ****, I am barely going 20mph and I just floor my truck too @ 20mph, my truck drops to 1st and spins the hell out of my 20's all thru first gear.>.. my truck going side ways... damn am I pissed off, by the time I hit 2nd gear and my truck stops spinning... he is about 2 trucks infront of me and he stays there all the way to 110mph.... when he lets off... so we get to the next redlight and I ask him to do a 30mph punch and he say's "no, cause I just filled up my gas tank" I was well now you dont got an excuse, he keeps on nodding his head saying no..... he asked how much HP I got in my truck and I just tell him somewhere around 380rwhp.... he said he has only gone to the track once and ran a 15.2 spinning the **** out of the tires.... he said no traction at all... so the light turns green and I was thinking he was going to do a 30mph run but he never did he stayed at 60mph, so I said **** it, lets do it, but he never did punch it , so he took a right on the next red light,.... damn did I stay pissed off!! I wanted another run bad.... I really think if I could do a 30mph punch and not spin I could of atleast bit him by a little or stay even with him.... I was at full weight too, tonneau cover speaker box and the 20's.... well atleast I know he must live down the block from me, so I'll be picking another race sometime soon..

Dude AP that is nuts! He probably saw you going side-ways and got scared LOL. There will be others, I guarantee it!

If I was rich I'd buy you an external mount vid camera so you can tape these races for us.

Interesting he didn't go from a 30 roll, those trucks are a pain to launch but once they are rolling, they can fly.

You can have the HP, but if you can't put it to the ground.....

This is what I love about street racing. Doesn't really matter what is run at the track. On the street it's a whole other story.

Sometimes I'm my own worst enemy.

I would of preffered to do a rolling start, rather than from a dead stop. I don't know why he didn't bite but oh well. Good run though! Maybe we'll meet on the road sometime and continue this.
