AFter only three days I finally got my first race. Hesitant because the lack of knowledge of driving a manual, but I couldnt back down. Once he saw me he followed me to a side road and we stopped and chatted for a few seconds about how he hasnt seen one yet and so on, but then he had to see what it had.
He took me right off the line with about a half a cars length by the time I shifted into second. That supercharged V8 really hauls off the line!! through second I closed the gap to his rear bumper as I shifted into third. In third I made it just shy of being lined right up with him, and through forth I pulled ahead by about a half a length. I then proceeded into 5th where I hit 130 and that weird ass O/D speed thing popped up and freaked me out so I layed off, obviously the winner. A great race, and the guy was real respectfull, and cool.
Also call me a idiot, butI just found out today not a few seconds ago, I could drop the clutch at almost any RPM... No torque converter!! WOO HOO! I freaking launched hard today after finding that out. I just never thought of it... but if I would have known that when I raced that lightning I would have really put it to him!!
I got some good news hopefully in the next few weeks, I can't wait to post pics if it goes through Ill keep ya all update
