    Well, last Sunday, a buddy and I headed to EuroSunday @ Blackhawk in Ca only to find out that we got the dates wrong. Anyways, when I was heading home, an older man maybe 55-60years old in a newer Honda Accord (?) V6 revved on me! The car looked lowered, dual exhaust (Can't confirm that it was aftermarket). At first I thought he was kidding, so I gave it some gas and he floored it. I ended up dropping a gear and raced him. Anyways, we got up there in triple digits and he was right there with me. My girl got scared and told me to slow down and as soon as I let up on the gas, he passed me. We both got off the same exit and he just waved and left. I've never seen an old man drive so crazy, I picked a lane that was open but the old man was just dogging and weaving. I couldn't stop laughing. I know, racing is unsafe but I had no intention to race him I just wanted to see how far he was going to go. Apparently he was down to race. Just thought I'd share.

    Old, young, monkey, chimp, Whatever you drive, you should act grown and drive the speed limit like the rest of us. Save the nonsense for when your driving home at night drunk from the bar.

    lol, I've seen wierd stuff like that a few times. Although I can't stand people that weave through traffic. They go from being funny to just dangerous.

    I'll see you at tomorrow's meet then
