keep both windows up....... this reduces wind drag you wont gain seconds but every little bit helps

Is this one of the reasons why people have their windows up whenever they race? Mine is always down and i still kick a$$! hmmm...

give he other guy 2 black eyes before you race that way it's harder for him to see where he is going

Well, you guys are all dogging Celicas....when they CAN be fast as hell cars.

My tips...build up your Celi and don't dog it. Celi's, even stock, are fun to drive and can beat a lot of other bare bone stocks cars...I've taken plenty...raced about 50-60 times lost 6 times. 4of those were turboed or supercharged...and I haev an auto...do you guys know how to drive? If you really knew how to drive you could beat a lot of cars...I guess that's another tip....pick your battles wisely...don't go off tryin to race some souped up car that you know is fast....you will lose....but if you see some corn burner in a 95 grand am that says he beats you all of the time even tho u never have recollected racing him ever...then race him (yes personal experience can u tell?) Also...don't think you can beat a chick with a silver beetle with a bunch of nopi chick decals on it...oyu cant....wher ei live anywyas....she gotr a turbo beetle...she would kill you...(again from personal experience)

So what have we learned today kids?
1) Build up your Celi before you go out race good cars.
2) Pick on slow domestics and use them as practice for your launches etc.
3) Don't race the girl with the Silver Beetle.

Best technique I've seen yet. Of course, the person in front of the person u wanna race might think you're revving to them and have anice car...and just whomp on it and get wya out in front...and then the person that u wanted to race...that was behind someone at the light...now will beat you if they have a nice ride....that really would suck....no not from personal experience.

oh another tip...If you get a light, no matter what race....even if it's like a gramma...some gramma beat me with her buick riviera supercharged...I was pretty amazed...she actually was trying cuz she was laughing at the next light.
