well i was at maple grove raceway saturday and it was a great day, my lady *was there*
for the first time, nice n cool and got some great races. well as i am moving down the line for my 3rd race, i spot a viper come rolling in, first time i ever saw one at maple grove. i thought that was pretty cool but now it was time to line up so i ran my race, got my slip, pulled back into line and shut down, popped the hood and went back to the stands to hang out with my girl until my next race. i get over there and tell her about the viper, wondering out loud if it was gonna be racing or was just there for show. well we yammered for perhaps a half-hour and then i saw the lane before mine start to move so i gave her a quick kiss and headed on over to my car. walking up the lane i saw the blue and white... right behind me... i was like "oh man, i'm gonna race that viper!" i looked at it, still had the registration tag in the rear window and it was a gts. well, cut to the line-up, we lined up and i TOOK HIM off the line... and then i saw tail lights the rest of the trip
anyway, i ran a 14.777, he ran a [email protected] faster than me. i got back to the stands and p said she saw me come out and then the viper and was like "oh man, sucks for mike". i told her it was all good i always wanted to race a viper altho i knew there was no chance of victory. she said after the first coupla feet it looked like i was just taking my good ol' time getting down the track. we laughed about it, anyway i wanted to share. safe travels everybody, good luck!
