my first street race ever - i had an old 1990 Celica GT, 5-spd. it was a nice little car, decent handling, and quick acceleration off the line thanks to low gearing and light weight. I was driving in Wayne late one night, on my way to pick up my brother from his friend's house. I pulled up to a light, with an older VW Golf next to me. It had a fart can on it, sounded like ass (literally). The light turns green, and I got a perfect launch. I had like 2 car lengths on him. My windows were open at the time, a great feeling of the wind rushing in. all of a sudden, i hear "PSSSSShhhh" to my right. I was like "Oh......****." Turbo. the Golf rocketed past me, and didn't stop. I laughed it off, it was kinda funny.

1st race with the Camaro - it was about a week after i got the car. I was driving on Rt. 23 around midnight or so. I spotted a ricey 3000GT (base model), fart can and aluminum wing. I pulled up next to him at a light. there were two people in the car, and the passenger was laughing when i pulled up next to him. the light turns green, i got a good launch, slight tire chirp, and put a 1/2 car length on him. it stayed that way till 110 MPH, and then the 3000GT backed off. I felt pretty damn good.
