I, of course, walked away from him off line. I heard him shift into second, and I was still crawling away. Got one car length. Now here'* the thing:
My car attempted to shift into second, and slipped horribly doing so. When it finally engaged second, I felt it launch again, hard (ouch for my tranny. This is why I don't race much.), but now he was crawling back up to me. He was halfway up my side, when we hit 85 in a 40, and I hit the brakes pretty hard. He should have done the same, because as he blew past me, he got pulled over right in front of me...
...I feel bad for him...
His car looked exactly like this one:
