So I just realized what the results were to a race that a guy at school challenged me to. On the way home from school that I take sometimes, there's a long straightaway followed by a sharp right, then a short straightaway, then a sharp left, followed by a left kink, and then a straightaway again.
I'm behind this guy from school and he slows down and motions for me to get up beside him. He's in a newer Accord with a body kit, 18" rims, fart can exhaust, and "Euro style" tail lights. I get up beside him and we gun it at the same time in the middle of the first straightaway. I get to the first, right hand corner first and force him to fall in behind me to take the line. He can't pass me in time for the second, left hand corner, so again, he falls in behind me. When I took the right hand corner, I didn't think it was that fast. My Outback had hardly any body roll and there wasn't a loss of traction. Well, as it turns out, the guy I know in the Accord somehow did something stupid around that corner and ended up rolling his car into the ditch. I didn't even really look behind me when I went around the left kink. It wasn't until the straightaway that I looked behind me again, but I figured he must've turned off onto a side road at one point.
So now I kind of feel bad that I didn't go back and check on what happened. He's pissed at me because he wrecked his car (that makes no sense at all) and now he's stuck bumming rides off friends while I drive the Outback like any other day.
