Another Race story! My FIRST, Lesson Learned.......... Options

[PlanetFuzz]

Well now! Considering I have had my car for almost a year,being my first car, and also being not even 18 yet,I haven't had that of an exciting history of cars yet. Tonight I did my first like spuntaneous street race. Like real one,I joked around reving and stuff with civics and stuff.

But tonight I went up next to a red civic hatchback and we gave each other the look and reved our engines. I was pumped! My first real street race! It had exhaust and what looked like spare tires on it. Nothing else. The light turns green and I had it revved to like 3 RPMs and I dropped the clutch. I did like a 3 second burn out and he smoked me. I caught up to him around 50,but I think he slowed down for sure. I have maxed my engine out before,but I never dropped the clutch while already having the engine revved up. If I would have just dropped the clutch and floored it,he would have died. I was friendly and gave him a thumbs up after it,he beat me,but I did learn something from my first experience.

You guys ever have this happen to you? and also....whenever I push my engine hard I get a smell....like a working hard smell.....hmm..

Just thought I'd share that story with you guys. Thanks!
