Instigation Techniques
Interested in hearing about the different ways to entice people to race?
Suggestions appreciated.
- Pull alongside and rev the engine?
- Take off real quick and slow down?
- Look over at the other car until the driver looks at you?
- You don't have to do anything because races always find you?
Suggestions appreciated.

I hear you though. When I lived in Atlanta all I had to do was hop on I-20 at night. And I could find races to my heart's content.
I imagine you can find good runs in Houston?

It is amazing...anyone with a G35/G37 always wants to run. Not much of a challenge, though. I have seen more M3's and IS-F's that have no interest. I raced an S600 early on and he pulled on me at higher speeds. So yes, definitely more playful folks in Houston.

Just pull up alongside and smile and I'm good to go.
As long as it's safe, then giddyup...win or lose it's all in good fun....drive it like you stole it.

Living in SoCal I can understand that. But, as a disclaimer, since I don't own an AMG, if you happen to see a Honda Accord pull alongside you, rev a couple times with the window down, please rev back. I just wanna hear your engine. I'll even throw in a thumbs up =)
