this scared the crap out of me, i know this probably wont stop anyone who street races but im done with racing on the street
well i wrecked my first car and it wasent even mine
this kid i know has a 99 turbo(cartuning) GP gt (his name is chris) and he as saying how fast it was and blablabla 750 hp 10 second car...yadayada
well my friend Andrew(stock 98 Z28 LS1 stick shift) and i were tired of hearing all this BS, so we decided to make the kid put his money where his mouth is.
long story short we set up a $50 race 30-90 at 1 in the morning so there would be no traffic.
andrew put me in his car because i have more experience racing and i can rip a gear pretty damn good ( i had one rule only me in the car when i race in case something happens)
i gave the GP the jump
i was in 1st and as soon as the gp hit the third honk i nailed it,
the tires stated spinning right away but i ripped second gear
it hooked back up right away in second and i was already 1.5-2 cars ahead
at about 60 it started to spin again but i kept my foot in it because it wasn't that bad and i wasn't going to lose.
got to about 90 and let off the gas and the rear of the car came around on me.
i spun it down the road twice and almost had it caught back up when the car snapped back the other way
i ended up hitting the curb and sliding through some grass missed a light pole by about 2 feet
killed his new ZR1 vette wheels and his breaks go to the floor now,
he wasent mad just glad i was ok,
his first question as are you ok, then "did you win"
so the repairs cost around $600
long story short
raced, crashed, cost me $600
but i won and got the $50
but i am done racing on the street
i do have to be thankful though no one got hurt, no insurance going up and no Cops.
i never thought it could happen to me, till it did.
thats when it really sinks in.
i just wanted to say i am a dumbass for doing that and its not going to happen again ever
