Nothing has been posted about the Springs here in awhile, so I thought I'd pop this in here to keep it new:
Well, 2 weeks ago a kid from Denver in a black turbo Acura Integra stopped by GW here in the Springs and was talking crap that everyone in the Springs is slow and he will race anyone for $2500.00. A friend called and told me about it, so I got $2500.00 cash and went down to race him. With the $2500.00 IN MY HAND I told him I was ready to go for the cash. He suddenly says his car is giving him trouble and he will only race for titles. Uh, I don't want that POS, I want the cash. Especially since it's probably owned by his Mommy anyway. He kept coming up with excuses and finally drove off. He was bouncing off the 2 step while backing up and leaving. He also floored it out of the parking lot thinking he was cool. Nice $600 ebay turbo kit BTW. I hate it when little punk kids waste my time for nothing!
TONIGHT, oh yeah! Got him! The Denver Honda kid came back out tonight and was talking crap again. This time my brother was there with his car, I just had the daily driver, so my brother tried to get him to go for money. We tried to get him for the $2500, but all the kid had on him was $1xx.00, so we were only able to squeeze him for a $100 run. They lined up and it wasn't even close. My brothers GVR4 launched perfectly. I think the kid wasn't half way down the road by the time my brother was at the end, lol! Props to the little bro for getting it done!! His car scared me a little, lol. It definitely took off pretty quick. The nightmare of my brothers car being faster than mine came true again a few weeks ago, so now I have to try to make something faster out of my car to keep up with him. His car is A LOT faster than mine, and I ran an 11.2@135MPH, so the race was pretty funny to watch against the cool big turbo Honda, lol. My brother left 4 tire marks on the street from when he was spinning in 2nd, and you could tell he was having problems keeping the car straight in 3rd. The large group of people that was with us was shocked over how fast a dorky GVR4 was. So many DSMs in the Springs are so darn slow that I guess seeing an AWD work a, um, '11 second' Honda was unheard of. I will also have to give a little props to the Honda kid. He didn't go for the $2500, but at least he had the balls to go for something even though it was just $100. He was a good sport about it, but we saw his buddy put a gun in his jacket, so we grabbed the money and got out of the way.
Note: this was all done on an empty road out in the middle of nowhere, so nobody was in danger but the idiots driving.
