I ran across a couple of rice-rockets this weekend in Iceland this weekend. I beat them pretty good but none of them were really noteworthy enough to merit a story.

I did, however run across an evo who wanted to line up. The usual setup, find a dark empty Icelandic road, three honks and go. We lined up twice, this is how it went:

First race we lined up and on the third honk 5 roll I took off about half a car out. I slowly walked out in second gear and in third he started to catch until he shifted then dropped back some. Shut down at about 110 with him about 1-1.25 cars back.

Second race same thing. We pulled out at about 5 and I spun. Said forget it and hit second gear, spun the clutch, half-throttled, hit it again and spun clutch....shift to third. Maybe I can still catch him...spun clutch....off throttle....punch...clutch burn......schidt.

Stop. He stopped next to me and asked what happened, "I think I just killed my clutch.."

I launch hard from a stop(not racing anyone this time), clutch grabs and goes...hit second...perfect, hit third, perfect...WTF? Whatever. Ok. We'll just go home. Hey at least I beat him the first time.


So the next day after eating a nice plate of fermented shark meat(It's Icelandic, look it up), I ran across an '02 Camaro SS with intake, headers, exhaust, suspension and a California tune. Nice guys. We found a spot and:

only one run, I got an ok launch and was feathering throttle out of the hole. Mistake on my part because I had traction and my clutch wasn't slipping. I could have gone faster...however the result would have probably been pretty close to the same.

Hit second and he's stuck back there. maybe he gains an inch. I hit third and he starts pulling like a freight train.......aaaannnd....damn, he passed me. Bloody heck-monsters. Oh well. It was still fun. I like Iceland. I may go back.

 

Sounds like some good fun, and an excellent use of open road!

 

how'd you get your car to iceland??

 

i like how this was in iceland not mexico and whats a SS with a california tune doing in iceland

 

See, I bought a personal jumbo jet because I thought it would be cheaper than one of those tiny private jets that can't hold a car. Maintenance and fuel cost more than I expected and now all I can afford to drive is a Cobalt SS.

Win.

 

jaajjajaaj cool story man, way to tell a war story. all i say we need is some pics and we make it a comic book haha. nice kill on the evo

 

Lmfao you're funny guy..

^^this lol

 

Glad you like my stories. How many people really street race in mexico? Someone has got to race somewhere else. Federalis would catch us.

 

How about Venezuela? Good place to race. No speed limits on the freeways I heard. Could be wrong about that tho. I personally like to race over the bride to Terabithia in route to never never land (not michael jacksons ranch) myself.

 

I'll hop in my completely real and totally not made-up personal jumbo jet and check out venezuela in a couple weeks. See, and part of it, also, is that i have to pay import fees for the car and go through customs. It's pretty hectic going through that every weekend...in real life and not my imagination.

 

Guys should put SS.net on the map and start racing on Mars.
