from experience.. most of the time people are to worried about their ego than tey are about enjoying their car.
it seems even if it was fair/close race from a dig or roll if its a car or more that person got drug or got pulled like he was standing still.which in most cases is not the case..
i dont see people on this board really getting to hurt over it you all seem like you know each other and seem to know where each other stands as far as times/potential..
and most of thet ime aquantiances/friends like to talk crap to just have fun and poke fun.
from my experiancei f any real money is involved people talk it up so much and the race usually does not go as planned.. if its a roll from 20-120 it ends up being a 40-120 race.. they play cat and mouse till the one who called the other out gets the race he wanted.( sen this all to much) or the guy knows he is over powered or outmatch and askes for 2/3 lenghths.. the other car is usually within 1-1.5 cars bye the time the race is on.. unless its from a dig.. than the guy in the rear is usually so anxios he is either on the stall or something freakish happned with line lock and ends up rolling out first closing the gap before the race.
on most import/domestic races the v8 or domestic usually jumps out and shuts it down when they have 1 car or 2 out on the import.. when in reality a turbo import its 99 percent of the time a top end/mid rage car.. so when the v8 shuts it down 1 gear into it the import is just getting its steam(and usually comming on strong).. even on break boosted races the car is still making power on the top of the rpm range.. thats why most imports what a race that is from 20/40- 120/140 or a markeked spot.. most import cars that are fast really do enjoy the domestic market and the guys who race.. i will admit sitting next to a bbc/ford camming or looking at a tunnel ram or a big body muscle car rolling s just a menacing and heart throbbing moment..its adrenaline filled to say the least.
sorry 4 the rant.
