This guy was on my tail since after Mamzar. Didn't get a long enough stretch to race so he followed me all the way 'til Garhoud bridge. I dont record my races a lot since im mostly alone when it happens, but luckily i had a friend to work the cam. Heres the vid.

And this was a Ford... Mustang? i think it was a Saleen or a nicely tuned mustang since it was incredibly loud and fast.
Anyways, the video is taken while im driving concentrating on the road with a phone in the other hand so im sorry bout the bad video :p AAAAnyway, heres what i got of the vid. Few cars in the way in the start, but ate him in the straight.

That didn't really look like a race...1st race you both dropped gears, and you took the jump before he even initiated. The 2nd time he came and horned (or was that you?), he took the jump and jetted out, while you played catch up and passed him...when it actually looks like the other guy took the jump and slowed down to line up again...

whatever the case, nice race!! ... but not cool on the streets ofcourse :P

Driving and filming - not very smart! Especially on the street!

i think its ok to race in public if there are few cars and the cars in front of you are extremely predictable. but then again, there is no 100% guarantee on predictions. but that tiny % is where the fun lies :grin:

it was in traffic. she was unexpectedly good at what she was doing. at the end of the ton of traffic, she slowed down n waited for me, when i finally caught up, she put her window down, said nice car, gave me a thumbs up (i could sense the sarcasm) and drove off in full speed again. up until then i thought it was some guy! she was gorgeous too did i mention :grin:

i cried myself to sleep that night.
does anyone else have any fail race stories? :p
