SS/SC Vs. WRX

Got off the freeway lastnight and headed North back to my house. Saw the same blue WRX that i've seen on that route around that time about 5 times or so. He always turns left on the street that's a mile south of my place, so I never get to run him. But this time I figured I'd go ahead and follow him on his premature left turn to see the man about a race.

I get in the left turn lane with a big white Towncar seperating us as the WRX screems through the turn whilst I'm stuck behind the biggest boat in the Navy with an operator that can't find the gas...my quarry is getting away! By the time I get around the white tub my future opponent is already 1/4 of a mile down the road and he's not slowing down. So now I have to haul after him just to catch him and once I do catch him I find out the reason why he was so hard to keep up with. He's doing 60 mph in the 45! I'm now pacing him from about two car lengths back and now we're doing 70-75 mph when all of a sudden he punches it. It took me a moment to realize he was on it and this gave him another half a car or so before I got on my go-pedal.

As soon as I got after it I started gaining ground on him, pulling even with him at the end of third and with a powershift to 4th I zipped by him, put a length on him for good measure, then shut her down. After he passed me when I hit the brakes I caught up to him again to give him a friendly wave which he acknowledged with a smile and a nod. He was a late twenties looking guy, with what looked at first to be a police uniform on but then I figured it was more likely a security gaurd uniform. I do wish I coulda caught a red light to have a chat with him though, but no dice. I'll probably get another chance another night anyway as I see him fairly often.


Just some more fun with with another awd, that's all for now.
