Hey Guys bassn_07 and I just arrived in Bakersfield and staying at the Hampton Inn. We had a blast coming down as we ran into a GT-R and played a little on I5. I think this guy really didn't know how to race as i actually had to stick my arm to get him to slow down and for us to line up. Well he decides to get on it before we could do the 3 honk rule, so Alan jumps on it and bye-bye GT-R beat him by a good car length in a very short distance. If we could have started at the same time Alan would have pulled maybe 2-3 car lengths, excellent kill.
