> Wheel-to-Wheel racers have been known to occasionally “bait” the Freeway Racers into following them through an offramp at triple digits speeds, and when the Freeway Racer suddenly realizes that he can’t control his car that fast in a turn, the Freeway Racer panics, hits the brakes hard while turning, and ends up spinning and crashing into the guard rail, while the Wheel-to-Wheel racer looks in his rear view mirror, and calmly puts another mark on his dashboard, keeping score of “reverse-kills”. . > [@sr20de](#): > > I can never get this too work, just end up pulling bus lengths on cars and get a flyby a mile down the road. ---

Apparently Wheel to Wheel racers also don’t know how to accurately slice a pyramid up into the proper number of sections… from Time Trialers to Wheel to Wheel racers, the pyramid looses a slice, lol. As an Autocrosser, my favorite type of woman is apparently “A female who has the whole day to burn, and can stand a safety cone upright, as they sucker them into being cone-corner workers.” That would be freaking awesome… where can I get one of those?!? ---

All in good fun. He’s pretty funny in person too. Has a thing for cold chicken (that’s all we ate at the Fontana trackday/JGTC weekend in Cali). _The legend of the Flamobile lives on._ ---

As far as ego’s go, I would think that autocrossers would be at the top of the pyramid. Sweet read, though :tup:. ---
