It was bound to happen one of these days...tom and myself facing off for the battle royale.
We've met on the track b/f where alas, he has gotten the better of me...despite the advantage I normally took in the first 1/2 of the races.
But this...this was on the street. It's a whole different world, when your talking about the street. Fortunes are made on a whim and lost on a sure thing. The street is the unpridictable b!tch we wish we had never met, but can't live without.
Tom was in his Cavy...myself, in a 94 Jeep GC, 4.0 or raw I6 power idling as smooth as i6's do. Saw the other light getting ready to change, so brought the rpm's up close to stall speed...waiting to get the jump. His eyes focused ahead, planning to dash my hopes of an early lead...
Light goes green, and we're OFF!
I got the jump BAM! into 2nd....and I'm still holding...BAM into third, now it looks like tom might be catching, but I'm still 3/4 length up on him....
...and as quickly as it started, it was over. An old school porsche 924 pulled out in front of us and we got off the gas, with me the winnAr!
And I had Lekan's heavy ass in my jeep!!!!
Cliff notes: 212K miles 4.0I6 GC takes Toms cavy!!! Good preview of the upcoming winter beater battles :D
