well i guess i have a preety good story, the other night at 1 i decided to go see a friend at the bowling alley well it was pretty dumb there i left with another friend who said he wanted to go racing well i didnt have anthing else to do so i was like ya i guess ill race ya. In wiscons there is hwy100 where all the racers basically go. anways when we get out there we stop at the gas station and some racers leave as we pull in. well we leave and my friend is driving a mazda dx i believe it was, well anyway we got to the light i had a buddy in my car and we wooped the mazdas ass big time. It was fun and he said that i should race this honda coming up well after finally getting stopped at a light we all went and i blew them both away and he stopped after getting to about 80mph well then i decdied to turn around at a light which is illegal(wooot) some more racers were coming back from way in front of us then. Well to make a long story short i beat another white honda untill the talon came in and it was awd turbo and it laid the law down on me twice. oh well it was turbo i took it off the line suprisingly though. later we went to this hotel and saw the popo cotper out looking for street races on 100 so we left. celica held its own against the race that.

I would never tell anyone to street race. But I've done it a few times...and there are times on I94, where I just am joyriding around midnight nad people will try to mess with me. Most time I have the willpower to just wave and keep going...but there have been times when I've done some really stupid sh!t.

Take for example this story, it may at least convince some of you that say racing on the street is ok...to not be ok with it...

Just about 3 weeks ago (the last time I've ever raced on the street) I was taking my Celi out for a little ride since it hadn't been driven in about 2 or 3 weeks. It was about 1. Very light traffic on interstate 35 around minneapolis area. I was going about 95 in a 65...just kinda crusing along...until a brand new Grand Am comes along and just about sideswipes me...he wanted to do soemthing. I figured I'd show him what I had, pretty ignorant on my part...we didn't go below 100 for 6 miles...most of the time 115 or above...on curves that were marked 50mph...going in the shoulder to pass people...dangerously weaving...until he misjudged a gap between two cars and tapped the car in front of him...nothing happened to that car cuz he kept going straight...but the guy driving the grand am went into a spin...big time. Went into a concrete girder (see you can hit concrete walls street racing) and really messed up the car. Worst part of it was that it was his girlfriend's birthday present he was bringing home to her...I obviously turned around to help him out but no one would stop...cuz they had all seen us doing the stupid stupid driving. The first thing he says as he limps out of the wreck "You're the best driver I've seen in a long time" and I got so angry cuz all in that instant I see his car basically in a ball of metal and him smiling telling me I'm a good driver. Needless to say, I helped him out by letting him use my cell...then I left so I wouldn't get in trouble.

You can all yell at me...but it wouldn't make me as mad as I was and am at myself still. You know how many close accidents I was in and could've killed someone else or myself...and then the nerve of that guy to tell me I was a good driver...one of the best he's seen...ugh...I'm seriously disgusted with myself...and I just wanted to share my story with you all...please keep it at the track...
