We were in Carlisle with the Merkur XR4ti contingent. We were all in XR4's. My buddy had a MONSTER XR with a built 2.3. (T3/T4 hybrid, big IC, ported intake, header, etc. Prolly 400+rwhp) We were heading back to the hotel before dinner, about 15 of us single file in the right lane doing about 70mph. This ricer (turboed Civic) went around the pack and popped his BOV right by my buddy's open window. (He was 2nd from the front, in the line.) As his rear bumper cleared the front of Mike's car, he went to the left lane right behind the Civic...about 6 inches off his bumper. They went to about 110mph and the Civic pulled about a car length on the Merk, after a small puff of black smoke (juice?). They went about a mile or so, that way and the Civic started to fall back and BLUE smoke started pouring out of it. Mike didn't know this because he STILL had the Civic as a hood ornament (at about 130mph). The kid in the Civic slowed and pulled off the next exit ramp. It just happened to be the one we were getting off. He was sitting at the light, smoke rolling from under the hood, as we all drove around him to get to the hotel. Every one of us gave a little "nice day for a drive" kind of toot, as we went around.
We had a LOT of fun in those cars. On the way to Carlisle on that same trip, a guy in a Corvette (C5) was messing with one of our stragglers. They eventually caught up to us and we were all informed via radio that the Tool in the Vette was screwing with him...wanting to race. There were over 40 of us in that line. (One guy started the caravan in Colorado and we all just met up with him as he went across I70) There was more than one "bada$$" XR in the procession. We "had our way" with that guy. I'll bet he pee'd himself when he saw that many of the same car going the same way, at the same time.
Good times.
