LV sightings!

Just thought I would keep track of who I've seen:

Sport Red tintcoat sedan SS - duh, me
Black coupe SS - You work on Sahara, right next to In-N-Out
Yellow coupe SS - just saw you today in traffic westbound on Sahara!
White HHR SS - saw you on the 15 southbound some weeks ago
Silver (coupe?) SS - Killa702

Anyone care to claim themselves?

I just found the street racers last night and followed them to their racing space...

I've never seen a bigger collection of beat-up Hondas.

I was the only Cobalt there, possibly the only Chevy except for that anemic Camaro.

Got a lot of looks, and a few people assuming off the bat that it was an SC/SS.

And no, I didn't race. Turns out the street racing fines in Las Vegas are pretty nucking futs!
Maybe someday, but I don't need to get into it with a bunch of people I don't even know.

I got a LOT of hard looks last time I showed up there. Apparently, SS/TCs are rare, and sedan SS turbos are VERY rare.

Makes me chuckle to think I may be the only one in the city.

That was funny - cop car broke up the races about 30min into it.

Will be at Mayhem tonight, may go early for the test and tune, see what it's about.

Midnight Mayhem was a lot of fun, got a lot of pulls in.

I apparently need to learn my car more. In my defense, I've never done this kind of racing, so the whole thing was new, and a learning experience.

Launch Control was iffy. Out of 4 or 5 LC pulls, all but one had all kinds of wheel hop. One pull went off perfect and smooth, and it was like heaven.

NLS was strangely harder than it should have been, and more than once I missed gears, and twice I was grinding third.

Never broke 100mph on the quarter, but was always really close.

Driver mods are my focus right now.

Oh, and best quarter was 15.3sec. Best reaction time was .201sec.

Could have sworn I saw a blurple SS today. Didn't see a pinstripe, so I think it was a different one than the post above.

Got flat/matte black SS/SC wheels? I think I saw you this morning at the Rebel on Sahara and Valley View...

To my knowledge, the meet these days is at DI and Decatur, I think still on Thursday nights? It sorta moves around.
