Re:when you race...
I do it for fun, If I lose, oh well I lost, who cares, but there's a lot of people around here, central FL, that won't even race because they think they will lose, even some of my friends, I'm like ----, just do it for fun, as long as there's no money involved who cares. I've tried everything and congratulate the other guy if he wins.
The weakest one though was against a new Si hatch in my WRX, he won, I was expecting to win, but oh well it happened his car is faster. I had 4 guys in my car he was alone, I didn't launch right, but all of that means he was a better driver that time, I don't get mad.

Re:when you race...
I give the guy his props (never lost to a girl...yet ). The last guy I raced was this old coot with a Nissan 300ZX. Mind you, this was when I still had my Eagle Talon. I got a slight jump on him, but it was over by 2nd gear 
We pull over and talk a little. Apparently, he had the Jim Wolf 400hp upgrade (K&N, ECU, Borla exhaust). In his opinion, this is how the 300ZX should have come from the factory.

Re:when you race...
Lose
I'll have to try that sometime...
Most people just make excuses when I beat them, the best is when they make excuses for the other people I beat too, like "oh I remember that, his car was running like as when that happened" and ---- like that. People just don't want to admit that all their money was beat by a civic...
