Meanwhile Plumb is two lanes so all he has to do is use the passing lane to pass me...... |

So he never even gets a bumper along side me and is forced to pull back in behind me.......

this is where it starts to get interesting yet another chance to call it quits and you don't........now with your action of speeding up so he cant pass might as well hang your head out and ask if he would like to race and guess what your still ahead of him.......must be getting adrenaline right about here and it feels good just like being on a track but with the unknow factor of street race'in

this is where it really became unsafe because you didn't back off at either of the two chances you had in this story and yes the race is on.......the asshat bmw crossed a double yellow line and "Story at 11pm" if it was my family driving on that road in the other direction something bad could have happened and I would and the rest of Reno would have said it was street racing; you where there; you where a part of it

He's still slowing down, I guess trying to reel me in, or temp me to pass him so he can show me the size of his schlong by racing me.........

LOL trying to reel you in shoot everything but your head is already in this race and now your in second place

Scott I'm sure after racing down Plumb and then getting a chance to race with you on McCarren he was just trying to see if you really wanted to race from a stop sence the rolling start races have already happened......its just the next step dude

As I'm pulling out, there's traffic coming up behind me at speed, but that doesn't stop the BMW from cutting into my lane right behind me to chase after me.:........

the race is over he just wants to get home

I'm not sure how fast I was going, but when I heel-toed into 2nd for the turn, I slapped the rev limiter, so I would guess I took the turn in the 50mph range. .:........ |
ohhh wait the race isnt over yet Scott still has some left in him......ITs ON!!!! again thanks Scott for not stoping here again

That gave the BMW a bit of time to catch up, but when I get to the top of the hill, I just ran the red light making a right turn towards Matt's house. (Of course I was able to check for traffic 1st, I didn't just blindly run the light.) Instead of heading straight to Matt's I just kept heading on down the hill, and by the time I get to the next side street I had lost the BMW.:.:........

are you still raceing or should I just call it speeding?

Matt and I were laughing pretty good after that, but once we realized this guy was stupid enough to chase a car that's got 100hp more power and 1000lbs less weight, I was kinda scared this tool had a screw loose, and I didn't wanna play anymore.

the BMW driver wasnt the only one that might have been retarded that night.......but let me get this strieght, its ok to play agaist under powered and over weight cars but dont run agaist a car that can beat you
street racers wet dream!! who gets the "asshat award"? ding ding ding and you thought it was funny he crossed the double yellow? thats when I make the next turn and sit for 5 min so he can be long gone.....its not funny....its scary
As far as coming down on Justin just because he pointed out that you where involved in a street race. he shouldnt catch hell for it Scott just sit back and enjoy the rush
