It seems to get harder and harder to get someone to line up these days without driving clear across town to get some action. However, my patience was rewarded tonight for a change. BTW, it's gotten so bad that I've resorted to waiting in bank parking lots for prospects to go by, then following them. Anyway, I'd been looking for about 20 minutes with nothing even close, until I heard some loud duals turning into the Taco Bell, it was a TA, all white with blue writing all over it as well as some racing stickers. As best I could tell it was a 25th anniversary pace car. I suppose that puts it at a 1994. I guess I'm a bad boy cause I waited for him to go through the drive through and then followed him out of the parking lot, I think I was pretty discrete about it. Anyhow, I almost lost him in some light traffic, but as we both broke out of the traffic I knew ahead there was a string of redlights spaced about 1/2 mile apart. Incredibly enough, we both caught the first light. What luck, that never seems to line up just right for me, but it did tonight. I did'nt want to power brake it up and go for the juggler so when the light turned green I eased into, then I heard his exhaust come to life big time. I knew it was time to punch it. We were about dead even until I came into boost, I had him by 1/2 car length at the top of first, by the top of second I had stretched it to 2 car lengths and then mid way through third it was all over but the crying, I just went ahead and started slowing down. I waited for him to give him another try but the slower I went, the slower he went. Then when he was almost up to me again, he bangs a quick right. Oh well, I got my fix for the week. - BB
