So, while at 3rd Friday @ Desert VW, Scott has to go home (he's got family in town). As he pulls out of the parking lot, I said to someone "watch scott call me broke down on the freeway". Well 30 minutes later wouldnt you know it, my phone starts to ring. It's Scott. His car died on the freeway. Coincidence..... I think not. When we tried to pic up Scotts car from Phoenix, they were having trouble with the alternator. You could call it an educated guess.? Scott's on the 215 broke down. So, the Mulkey Family and I head out to save Scott. It's not too safe on the freeways here with the way people drive, so I made sure Mulky parked behind me to block any on-coming traffic. I figured what are the odds? There we are, 3 VW's on the side of the freeway not a wrench between us (GENIUS!). Mulky heads home for tools. In the meantime, we are saved by Dimitrius in his notch. He had a ratchet set. I pull the battery out of my bus while running (kids dont try this at home). We put it in Scotts vert. After a brief explanation of auto electronics to Scott, I explain his fuel injection system needs all the juice from the battery to get his car home. Cars are flying by & I tell Scott " dude be careful". He says,"dont worry i'll be at about a hundred by the time I get to 3rd gear. Oh, what would it be like to live in Scott's world. Scott does a 4k RPM launch from the shoulder (i didnt know we were racing) and starts down the freeway. He gets to the first exit and is coming down the off ramp. I call him on his cell & try to explain the whole "electrical" thing again & told him "you wont make it to your house with the lights on.Turn you lights off!". We proceed down to the next light & there is the first un-suspecting victim. This guy has no clue he is sitting pole position next to "Moses the dragracer". This guy is driving a mid-70's Corvette. Well, needless to say the light turns green & its on (for Scott at least). Scott's ripping through the gears and "Vette guy" has NO CLUE. While Scott is winning his one man race, he's losing the battle for voltage in his vert. But wait, there's more.

In mid- race there is a guy in a Noen SXT (girls car) whos is looking for a race. Scott has no clue until this guy blows past him. So, this guy passes Scott. No need to send Scott an invite. Scott reels this neon in like a dead fish. So they both go flying up to the next light. The light turns green. Only one lane is available. The neon (from sneaking up on Scott) is first through the light. But not for long. Scott blows past this guy like a dragster to a tricycle. Don't forget, Scott is running out of voltage this whole time. Scott slows down at the next light & lets Mr Neon know just how fast the "red vert" really is. Now Im feeling left out so I decided to give a little display of power. I tach my bus up to about 4K RPM go to dump the clutch. Talk about Violent clutch chatter. Anyway he must not have believed Scott because he followed him to GV pky and another race insues. This one I kinda caught on video... You should probably take a dramamine before you watch (it could make you sick)
