The definition of a NEON
A great domestic compact car whose rapidly disappearing taillights are most typically seen through the windshields of Honda Civics, Chevy Cavaliers, and other assorted shitboxes.

So here's how it went :
Practice run : 11:48 (not a typo, got wheelspin and shifted at 5k)
1/8th finals (against a BMW E36 320i) - Win - 10:45
1/4 finals (against a Group N Renault 5 GT Turbo) - Win - 10:11
1/2 finals (against a VW Golf III GTI 16V/Reigning Tunisian champion) - Win - 9:47
Final (against a VW Golf IV GTI 1.8T) - Loss - 11:18.

I shifted 1st-4th in the final and recovered too late. Life's like that, hopefully I get it better for Round 2 on May 25th.

So I'm second in the championship standings with 8 points and more importantly silenced the crowd when I took out the reigning champion. Bouahahahahaaa !

Pics will follow.

Nice job! With a little more power, some decent tires, and some practice you can be the Tunisan national Drag Champion! In a Neon!!
