I was in a race and did not know it.
I was driving home yesterday after work as usual. As I approached an intersection I could see the traffic in the left turn lane was almost done turning. There was a new Cadillac in the left lane and the right lane was open. I was slowing down but I knew the light was about to change. I timed it perfectly to just roll thru the intersection at 35 MPH and start accelerating back up to the 50 MPH speed limit. The Cadillac must have seen that as a challenge. That sucker is FAST. He exploded from a dead stop and was going faster than 50 in a flash. I was driving my daily driver 1986 El Camino with the factory original 305 with 278,000 miles on the engine. I had no intention of racing but that Cadillac driver was in a big hurry. I think that may be the only street race I have ever been in and I lost big time. Since I did not know I was in a race I could not care less. It was amazing to see a big car like that move out in a big hurry.
