Illegal Street Racing.
Went to witness a drag race between 2 cars today with mk and richard. 2 Civics, that look like EK9s, though I'm sure they are not... don't ask me the model name, and i don't think u'd be interested too... Both white, both with black bonnets. Like a race between twins. So, we reached the site at 9:30pm, doodled arnd, wait for ppl, say hi, tok nonsense.
Act, was only mk talking with them. rich and I just tiam tiam. When mk's with his car pals, they talk in a different language all together.. bhp, toda cams, anti-lag, and what other nonsense. No point trying to understand. Just nod your head and say... "oh, that one! ahh..." pretending to know what they are talking about, and looking interested.)
I was act expecting some exciting stuff.... but wth... after waiting and zuo bo-ing for so long, the whole thing was over in like 1 min. We chose a spot near the end of the drag race track (some long, broad road at tuas area, much like 40 tiang, if u know where that is) to witness the race. Turbo vs Displacement. One was turbo-charged (mk's friend), his challenger had a 2.1 litre engine (civics only have 1.6 by right). All i managed to see was one of them zooming ahead of the other by a few car lengths... that's it! wth! only 1 time summore... Sometimes, I really wonder at myself. I watched episode after episode of Initial D anime, and wonder what in the world those people were doing beside the roads viewing the race, and now i'm doing the same! The only way to experience the thing is if you are chasing after them in another car, or sitting in one of their cars...
What more, drag racing to me is darn stupid. What kind of kick do you get out of proving that your car is faster than some other person's car? There is absolutely no skill involved. Just depends on how much money you have to blow, and who is tuning the car up for u. If its playing cornering, as in choose some mountain road aka initial d style, driver skills come into play too.... that's so much more interesting....
*sigh*
Somethings i'd never understand....
