  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Not really a race at first.

    Going to check a jobsite one morning this week and had to show some guy my age (55) his Suzuki big V-Twin is not all that fast.

    I'm driving in morning traffic on a two lane city street with the usual traffic going to their jobs. In my rear view mirror I can see this "old guy" on a motorcycle weaving and passing every chance he gets until he is a couple of cars back. He gets stuck there for 3-4 lights and just as luck would have it all the cars in front of me and between us turn off just as we get to where the road opens to a four lane.

    So he roars off past me only to sit at the next light. I would not gas on it because we were going past a construcion site with guys all over the place trying to get vehicles off the road onto the site. I pull up next to him in the right lane at the light. Now the road goes on for about a third of a mile maybe less and ends with his lane turning left and mine turning right but no cross streets until the end. I knew he was going to gas on it the moment the light goes green and his is bike is so loud he doesn't hear me boosting against the brakes.

    The light goes green and I actually move first which just causes him to really gas on it probably thinking no way this white car gets out in front of me.

    He pulls even as boost is still building and the T is really starting to pull hard in 1st. Hit 18# and the tires start to squeal as it settles at 20# with the Alky spray.

    Car bangs second before the guy on the bike does and I pull a half a car on him. He shifts to second and falls farther back. The T hits third, I'm still gassing on it and I'm 4 car lengths or so out on him. I hold 3rd WOT for a couple of seconds and then let off to coast up to the end of the road and the next light.

    He roars past without looking over and pulls in front of me and has brake really hard to stop at the end of the road and turn right.

    I follow him turning right but he races off again but I let him go.

    cray1801 Too much is just right.

    I bet he was thinking to himself with anger and concern "what the F@% was that white car, was that a Cutlass or Monte Carlo?"
