DaddyBuiltRacing Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Just curious about this as I have a mustang owner that is really mad about losing to me lol. I mean real mad hahahaha (Can provide whole story if needed) but would rather just see what everyones take is on losing a race. Me personally it just irritates me that my car or diving ability was lacking and motivats me to try getting the car to go faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Honestly, what is there to get mad about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyBuiltRacing Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Apparently a lot haha. I personally shake the guys hand and talk to him about his car and then go home thinking of ways to go faster. Hell I do his weekly at the race track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I have never once been upset about losing a race. If its that big of a deal to someone, they probably have issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Jones Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I've never gotten mad, not even or a second. If you get mad over such simple things, you should probably seek help. I've had a slew of foul words, the finger, even someone swerve after losing... I just laugh and go on with my day. If you aren't mature to shrug off a loss, give a thumbs up and move on, you might be a danger to yourself or others.

Green Bastard Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 is there money involved?? and im talking a significant ammount. if its just for kicks or for like 20 bucks or something then the guy has issues if he is mad. if theres 1k or more involved then it would seem a serious race. i still wouldnt be mad if i lost though, because if i bet 1k on a race and lost, then i put the money up, i would have nobody to be mad at buy myself. just my opinion.

silverhatch Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I've had the same thing happen a couple times Josh. It's just cause you have an import. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbracing81 Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Are you talking about a street race or a track race? If I lose a street race then no, I don not get mad. I feel I have a fast car so if I lose then I know the other person has a really fast car (Cordell). If I lose a track race then depending on how I lost I get irratated with myself. For example if I race someone who pulls a .02 light or better and runs say .02 off thier dial and I have a .025 bulb and run say .02 off my dial then I'm not upset because I had good numbers and the other person had better numbers. Now if I race someone and they have a .250 bulb and run .20 off thier dial and I still lose than obviously I totally fucked up and that does not sit well with me.

phil Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 theres no point in getting mad, most of the time i just laugh. most of the time the races i lose are to my friends anyways so i just have to deal with the light ridicule which is fine. now if i lost to jones, i would go kill myself. he backed out sat nite cause he didnt want none Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I think when people's expectations are off they can get frustrated or mad. For example there is a certain Vette that I would like to beat, but it simply isn't going to happen, I realize this and don't get mad. However when I race someone who is convinced that I have a cammed little 12 second car and blow their doors off I either get the WTF just happened or mad. So I can see why guys with fast imports get a lot of anger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AC66Bronco Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Frustrated yes mad never. It is supposed to be fun and if you loose you know you either need to improve your car or your self. It's called learning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbracing81 Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Still thinking about that? Lol. I could have gone to IPS for a baseline, I figured it would be more fun to test against real live horsepower. I'll have my day. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverMaker Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I would be mad too if I had to drive a mustang. But yea I lose all the time. Always a fun time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripleskate Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Never. Races are few and far between, so it's always just for fun. If you can't laugh it off or give the winner a wave or thumbs up, you're doing it wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinner Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I can see being mad at yourself if you did something wrong. If you to a faster car just have to shrug it off and have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
