Well the races took place where nobody could see it. Both times he got the move. The first time I was breaking up, he got 2 cars on me. I could not catch him. the socond run I changed my plugs and ran on higher boost. He got the jump and got about 1.5-2 cars out because I started spinning real bad. I pulled alittle back in 3rd then shifted into 4th and walked by him pretty hard. Pretty good runs.
pappa smurf is the only person i know on Tampa Racing so far except me that tells it like it was.
Eric the first race we did we both got on it from a second gear roll and i punched it as you did (my car is loud you'd hear me punch it so it's not much of a move IMO) but i was pulling hard, keep in mind this is after you saying "lets race and
if i have to i'll race you on full boost. After 2 cars i let off as you know it wasn't even close (no point rubbing it in).
the next time you missed a gear so sportsmanlike i let of when i heard you miss a gear (some would claim another win).
Finally, after you change your plugs, fix you over heating problem, put $20- race gas in your car, and crank the boost up to 28psi we went from the roll i punch it as you did, knowing the reason my car jumped was because i would have more torque from the hit until you spolled up. From the second gear roll at around 50mph we went got 1 1/2-2 cars ahead and stayed like that, then shifted into 3rd he caught up a car by the end pf 3rd, i shifted into 4th and he caught another car as my car has the stock gearing in the tranny (not for long) i left vtec for a second and he got another car after i was at 145mph i let off and braked for the turn which most cars would have had to keep going becasuse there wasn't much road left to do the turn at our speeds, unless you take the bridge.
Eric's car is pretty fast on low boost and very quick on high boost.
next time we race it'll be from a stop and although he'll slowly catch me towards the end it will not be enough to claim victory.
