Thumbs up protege vs. corolla (my first race)

(hehe i wasn't street racing) coming home from school and this guy i don't know with a ricer corolla comes up to me. this old corolla (not sure of the year) got steelies, a universal exhaust, and "seems" to be lowered. we're at a stop sign (its about 4:00 and this area usually hardly nobody drives, it starts with a pretty long straightaway then like you go under an underpass and there is another stop sign). he revs up to me, im like "hmm i think i got a chance, my DOHC versus his i think SOHC". so i return back and with a thumbs up..he tells me to count to 5,

we start (i do a slight burn out) i think he started before me...im going hard, slowly catching up to that busta. boom shift to 3rd and my DOHC is getting up there...im 1/2 a car length ahead of him and more and more going ahead. my hearts racing, and right before we reach the steep drop to do under the underpass im a full length ahead of him. man i was going i tink 65..i think (its all a blur). we stop at the next stop sign, give eachother props in the car from our cars and move on. first race ever...felt the adrenaline..man when i went under the overpass my stomach dropped. this spot is renounded forraces...no pedestrian walking areas, rarely cops. well thats my story..open to your opinions

my bad, i have a 94 LX protege. messed up on my profile. i am sure that SOHC's only come in DX's right? rota circuits are lighter than stock steelies right?

I've raced my friend in his 2001 Corolla. I ate him like a jelly donut. It wasn't even funny. From light to light I'd gained about 6-7 car lenghts on him... But then again he has an automatic...
