Yes, thats right my first every race. And no I didn't win so the idiot didn't die.
I was on the corner of Beacon St and Comm Av in Brookline, for those of you who know the place.
Its a two lane street that goes into one, where they are a line of parked cars on the side of the street. I was in the left lane, just sitting there when an 07 STI pulled up right next to us. He didn't think any thing of us and pulled up a few feet in front of us. I had turned off the AC only because the stupid cabin air sensor was making loud nosies, and hope to stop it.
So am sitting there and I say to my dad, hummmm STI, we should race. He knows all the bad things that can and will happen one day doing not so smart things like racing. But deep down he knew he wanted to.
So I had kept my revs up a bit, but nothing worthy of a launch. The light turns Green, I jump off the line, and before the STI knew what was happening I was in front about a half car length. I spun all the way though first, into second I had to shut down because the ass hole wasn't slowing down and there were a line of parked cars on his side, SO I was NICE and let him by.
Am sure he was surprised that a 14 year old car could be that fast. Plus having almost no clutch didn't help, am sure at the top of first I was not getting any power down.
We were neck and neck until I had started to slow down. Am sure he would have killed me from a start. He was either A. stupid and did not know how to drive, or B. I had a really good RT off the line. Any ways, we are cruising at about 45, and he turns off about half mile down the road, I drop it into 4th and gave him a little wooosh, or at least I hope I did.( But probably didn't
)
