Last night I was at my local street racing area, which is RT. 37 in Toms River, NJ when I noticed a Viper ACR pull into the parking lot where I was hanging with friends. He was driving around looking for something to race. So I ran to my car and went after him. Twice from a rolling start I took him out bad. Then we came to a red light and a WS6 TA gets in the middle lane. The viper is off the light good, with at least a car on me and keeps pulling. Then when I get into 2nd I start to catch him. The WS6 is in both of our rear view mirrors. At the end of 3rd I am ahead by half a car and by 4th hes in my side view mirror. We went to about 130-135 or so. I usually never get that crazy, but its the first time I got a chance at an ACR and it was really late and the road was dead. He was a really cool guy and at the next light he was like "I hope that's not stock?" I smiled and replied "no I have a K&N air filter." You should have seen his face. He said "that sucks, I have so much work done to this car" I was like "have a nice night" It was great that he was even willing to race. Usually I only get kids in hooked up Honda's wanting some and that gets boring. I think this is my best kill to date. I know, I know street racing is bad and dangerous, but I cant help it.

In NJ you wait at the track for 3hrs to race a honda civic. I do go to the track often but its a pain in the butt. I usually don't race unless it is as safe as possible. This was conducted early in the AM without any other cars on the street. I would never risk anyones life but my own bro. Your point is well taken.

I have heard form a few viper owners that they are very hard to drive well, so I will credit the kill on my skill and the fact that his car is hard to drive lol. I do believe that his car is fast numbers wise.

Hey.........A Kill is a Kill. Great story! Street racing is very dangerous. It's something that I am nervous for my kids about. I would'nt want them out doing it when they get licensed w/ fast cars. However, we here on the forum love to hear about good races. Wish that I could run across a Lambo, 911 Turbo, SVT Cobra (Modified), I just don't get those sweet and street safe opportunity's. Maybe I just don't travel to the right area's other than @ the track. I am to afraid of breaking something at the drags so that's not an option!:( Great driving brutha
