Wanna race?

Last friday I was riding the last 50 home around 6ish. As we were coming up to Porky’s I started noticing all of the cars that seem to flock to University on the weekends (muscle cars, imports, classics). Well when we stopped at the Fairview light, a souped up firebird pulled up on our left. I heard his engine rev and saw that the bus driver looked over…I heard her mutter “unh uh, not today.” I kid you not, she revved the bus engine right back, and when the light turned green she gunned it. The firebird peeled out and for a split second we were winning the race. I think in that moment the bus driver felt a sense of accomplishment. Me, I just felt a little sick to my stomach as she had been a bit heavy on the braking as well.

    We want to “race the bus” Even though we have no shot at winning.

    That’s hilarious.

    The bus has more torque, therefore has a better launch capability than any car. Not to mention more weight on the drive wheels.
