Default Shocked by a Honda

The other day I came up on a black EH Civic hatchback with loud exhaust while driving the laser. It looked like primer, and it was loud but didnt sound all that healthy...not that the laser sounds like it will turn 10s, but still...

we made left turn onto a long empty straight, and he pulled aside at about 30mph, i pulled into second gear and waited for him to hit it...as soon as he jumped, i did too, but i found in a hurry that this little hatch must have had more than just exhaust and wheels, as by the time i was going into 3rd gear, he had pulled to a healthy 2-3 car lead on me, and as i went through the gears, we stayed at roughly that distance, until he slowed to turn...i slowed as i past giving him a honk and a wave...and at that point i got a good look at what looked to be gears that are common with forced induction applications...

a surprising loss for the laser.


this race took place on a closed circuit
