we finally get this kid with a 97 ex civic 5spd to come out and race. naturally everyone wants me in the 2000 dx auto to race him since i have beat him on the street in a rolling start. so we are the first race up. we line up and then we are off. the ex gets the jump but then between his 1st and 2nd i pull back on him and we are even. he shifts into 3rd gear and i pull on him and put about a 1/2 car length on him at the 1/4 mile. damn was i happy. then my friend bret (who also has a 97 ex) talked to the other kid and said i can beat him in your car so the kid lets him drive and sure enough i never led the 2nd race and lost by a car length. o-well im in the need for more speed!
