Respect both but prefer performance
16. Have you ever entered your car into a race against another car?
Yes- All of them
16. If so, was there a bet associated with this race and what amount of money was involved?
Integra LX- No money, just for fun. Integra vs Civic ex
Astro- bottle of Dr. Pepper (won it!). Astro vs Eclipse GSX
Mustang- Food ($5 worth) Mustang vs. Civic Si
Scirocco- free tire rotation at shop of owner of opposing integra lx (I won)
Back in the day: 01 Prelude SH vs Camaro SS in a industrial park circuid. I won because he spun out in a turn. He was suposed to buy me food (again, about 5$ worth) and decided to run for it. He ended up crashing his car into a curb and wrecked his front end.
I don't race for money above $1. I don't like taking other peoples money and/or losing my own. As for the food, I am not a glutton, just a 135 lb 5'7" person who hadn't eaten in a while. I have also taken IOU's, but end up losing them or never claiming them. My overall concept is this is a gentlemans sport with its roots in chivalry.
Back when I was a senior in high school, one of my reports was about chivalry being dead or alive and I stated that It was still alive. My paper stated that it was still prevailent. The only real difference is that the horse has been replaced with a car.
