Yeah...races many times are "negotiated". Thats not unheard of. id say half the races I have ever done have been "negotiated". usually giving up the hit or a car or two.

I remember racing Mr2 way back in the day on a side road. No one was racing and he asked me if I wanted to run. I said no since I was on regular radials. Then he talked me into it. I gave up a car, the hit, and i was not allowed to use juice and it was about 3/8 of a mile. He kicked my ass on that one. Good thing that wasnt for money.
