GOD I love street racing
My friend and I were on our way home from work tonite, way up on Dale Mabry past Gaither HS when an LS1 camaro starts revving on us. We were in my friends LT1 T/A with full exhaust, full suspension, and 3.73 gear. We raced a few times, lost the first one 
, missed a shift on the second (T56's suck at shifting no matter WHAT anyone says), pull up to a light and the guy says "hey, the ole lady wants to run ya now" so we pull over, they do the chinese fire drill, and we won the third one on a holeshot (DR's). Afterwords we pulled over and talked for a few minutes. Really nice middle-aged couple, bone stock LS1 6 speed but they're getting ready to dump some money into it.
I just wanted to say how much I LOVE street racing. Keep in mind this was a very smooth, wide road with NO traffic and NO sidestreets. We didn't come near anyone during the race so if anything would've happened, we would be the only dead ones. If there is such a thing, we believe only in street racing responsibly, but we gotta do it.
Whats your favorite street racing story?

alcohollica was driving me home from tampa, i was drunk..... a honda pulls next to us and starts to dip.....
we catch up pull over after a few races from a roll (alcohollica driving) .....
we get out and talk, it was a kid and a few of his freinds in a brand new S/C'd civic .....
well, i get behind the wheel trusting the fate of my car only to me... i cant lose...
and i smoked tha bastard, drunk off my ass..... didnt spin or anything.....
all motor and good too.....
i wanna do a drunken reaction time racing once ..... anyway..... drinking and driving is bad, but drinking and smoking civic is good!! hehehehehe
i used to street race alot untill the damn law got so strict......
name it and i've raced it (pretty much)
oh yeah, how can i forget this one........ this older guy and his wife, prolly 50's couple.....
they are on the bridge with me in his brand new WS6.... well i reved at him and he and his wife looked at me like yeah right......
well, bottle was on, i take, he takes off --- and I got em'
the look on their faces as i passed them will be forever etched into my memory !!!!!
their dreams of invincibility shattered before their very eyes......
but old people are dumb..... he prolly thinks my car was a honda or something.....
and i'm sure the sales man who sold them that car told them it can beat the concord across the atlantic ......

I remeber when they used to have the carshow down there on Van Dyke. I used to just sit in my car and wait for people to leave. I would follow them out and race them and turn around and come back and more cars would be leaving. This would go on for about an hour and then we would destroy ricers all the way to Miami Subs.

My favorite is from a few years back.
I was coming home from work one afternoon heading north on Eisenhower and there was a guy on a crotch rocket in front of me. We were moving right along weaving around traffic (not dangerously mind you)... we get ahead of everyone and get caught at the light at Memorial. He's first at the light and I'm sitting behind him.
Light turns green and he pulls slowly away.. turns around and gives me the "c'mon.. let's go" signal (so yeah.. we raced from a roll) . He guns it and I follow along... now I didn't pass him... but I stayed right on his ass the entire time.
We slowed down for the next light and he lets me pass him by. While sitting at the light he rolls up next to me and says "Damn.. that thing is quicker than I thought!! ".
Oh wait... remembered another good one...
This one happened during the evening on Hanley.. bad idea to be racing down through there.. but I was coming home late.. very late from work.. had a bad day.. just got the Cobra not that long ago.. and this guy just pushed all the right buttons.
I'm sitting at the light on Jackson Springs(?) headed north on Hanley and an older 5.0 pulls up alongside of me. Two younger guys in there and the driver yells over.. "You and me buddy... right now!"
Light turns green and he pulls a bit on me.. but then I'm already passing him midway through second.. so I slam it into third.. allow him to get along side of me and then stomp on the gas.. pull ahead...let him get alongside of me.. stomp on the gas... pull ahead.. etc.
We got up to the light on Waters and he turned left... without a word

Some lady in a brand new Carrera. We keep pacing each other southbound on 4 st. N she pulls up a little then I catch up, until I press in clutch and rev it up in neutral, both cars are doing 40 mph. I think she doesn't want any, but the bitch floors it. That inline 6 turns fucking loud and the turbos whine like banshees :o She pulls up like ten feet in front of me, so I press the clutch, rev the bitch up to 6000 rpm's, shift from 5th to 2nd and dump the clutch. 
Theres a loud ass BANG from the rear end , and at this time I'm pulling up and passing her with the tires peeling and smoking :o She pulls up to me at the light on 62nd and has the dumbest look on her face,throws her hair up and looks the other way

I had forgotten about that kid, he sure felt stupid for dumping $3,000 into his car
But you forgot to tell the story with those dumbass rich kids in the BMW that mommy and daddy bought them.
Anyways they thought they were hard asses so they try to race Dustin from a roll, but Dustin punches and bitch pulls hard so we're like 20 yards ahead of them when the pipes backfire and he shoots a huge ass flame that I saw the reflection of in their windshield :o They looked like they just about pissed their pants

the only place ive seen cops sometimes stay is on the right side of the road about a 1/4 mile before you get to van dyke. But ive had many races on that stretch of road.
