SHIIITY NIGHT!!!!part1

me and my friend wanted to race. hes got a probe gt thats hooked up, damn thing is quick! fastest probe iv seen...anyways we go race on this one road that kinda curves at the end, but i didnt think anything of it cuase its never been a problem. well this time i was in the left lane, when im usualy in the right(makes a HUGE differance for that curve)..well we race,, im winning,, we dont let off till we are coming right on the curve. let me say, braking after going 100mph and turning are not great things to do all at once. but if i wnated to go into the poll,,,i must do it... the car started to slow down good but still to fast for the curve,, then i had to wait for the guy that i was racing to get outta the way so i can get over and not hit the pole...well it kinda threw my car into a fishtail at 85mph. if you have ever done a fishtail at 85mph, youll know what im tlaking about! SCARRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYY! especialy when your on a 2 lane road at night with trees and poles. well the car gods were with me and let me get her straight without crashing, which surprised the **** outta me. no joke we were fishtialing a little worse than a back slash \\\\ ..........well all ended well with everyone alive and well, i was shaken up by the whole thing and will never race there again!......on another note,, when i was sitting out trying to calm down, my friend desided to gtech his VW Passat.....well he hit a damn beaver doing 80mph on his 2nd pass. yes you read right a fuking BEAVER...we ALL called it quits after that. PLEASE DRIVE SAFELY!!! and NEVER race with KIDS in the car!!!!!

Happy Motoring


ps...check out the body and interior board for part 2 of this...i kinda hit someones car too....

I've scared the **** out of myself before but I was never racing, just goofing off. I once hit a bump when I had my wheel cut going around a curve at 120 in a 66 malibu ( sure as hell not a corner carver) it fishtailed a litle bit and went into the oncoming lane and then fishtailed the other way. one 360 degree turn later I was stopped and in a cold sweat. it was fun going 120 but I dont think I'll ever do it in that car again.

Racing with a curve at the end. That is brilliant. Who thought up that one?

my dumb *** friend. i always bitched about the curve,, but it wasnt a problem cause i aways was in the right lane, so i could basicly just stright line it and not really turn. but the left lane is a differant story. plus the curve isnt till way after the 1/4...so if you let off at the 1/4 mark your fine...but we are stupid and didnt do that.
