Default Post-VIR race? Not quite.

I was driving through Charlottesville on Rt. 29, on my way home after the fine SpeedTrial event at VIR. It was about 7:30 and traffic was about medium in the four northbound lanes. I was stopped at a light, about 3 cars back, when I heard someone rev. It was a blue late-model Prelude with a f-can muffler and big rims. He revved again but I shook him off(300lb of tools and stuff in the trunk, even if I <U>would</U> street race). He looked disgusted and blasted off when the light changed, got in front of me, and at the next light got a run with a stock looking turbo Eclipse, which handed him his ***.

Anybody else get big streetrace action going home through Charlottesville last night?

I got it Monday morning heading home from the NASA event. It was a Red/silver Cavalier (older model) who kept doing burn outs next to me. I about reach my limit with this punk and his girlfriend (who had the nerve to give me the finger cause I wouldn't race them). I didn't even give him a glance over for the whole 30 minutes I had to drive near him.

After all his high speed swerving and tailgating other people I was still only 1 car behind him and then he turned into Amherst College - in which I gave lots of thoughts of following him to his dorm and giving him a whoopping

C'ville is the meca for street racing, due to its 4 lanes, many stop lights, and low traffic at night...

On the way home I was driving my girlfriends 5th gen Prelude and a sliver 5th gen (looked stock) reved on us.... I wasn't looking to get pulled over so I took him 0-70 and backed off. Both cars were stock but we walked him to 70 for some reason. Our car must have been built on Tuesday or something, b/c it was just so much quicker than his from 0-70. Anyway.... that was our street race/kill story from VIR.
