High speed...

[Nick Stuart]

Well I usually dont have the chance to do any real racing with an actual
start or anything around here(not many stop signs :) ). Any way by the time
I am up to 75 I'm either beside them still accelerating to 100 or in front
of them slowing down from 100 back to 75. There are so many people up here
with "sporty cars" but no one either knows how to drive them or doesnt want
to have fun. The best thing Ive had to a race is with a VW passat station
wagon which I had just passed along with two other cars. He/she passed me
and it took me a little to catch up to him/her doing 120mph. Found out those
things can move. Dont know about the VW driver but I still had plenty of
room on the tach.
