Drag Racing Into Sydney – Mad Chaos: May 12, 1998

Views: 495

It’s been a couple of days now and I’ve spent a bit of money on my first visit to a Recording Studio on Monday.  I’ve probably been so busy that I couldn’t write in my Diary over the past few days, plus I’ve had Lyssa sleeping over for the past two nights.

Cruise With Ali To McDonald’s

Starting on Saturday night, Ali came to pick me up.  Then Imad rocked up in his car.  There were no solid plans but we knew we didn’t want to hang around Campbelltown for the whole night.  We drove to Queen Street to check out the main street.  It was looking morbid.  

From there we traveled to Woodbine McDonald’s where we parked the cars.  While there we bumped into Ramon (the person that used to play Gridiron two years ago with me before I quit the team, the year they won).  We all bunched up around Ali’s car as he cracked open the hood.  While there I talked to Ramon, realizing that Jewell knows him from school.

From there, we traveled back to Queen Street and then stopped off at Caltex.  While there we talked to a couple of people that Ali knew.  As a result of that I had seen Litzy (Lyssa’s blonde haired friend I met at Campbelltown station once with her boyfriend and at the formal), and her boyfriend Bjorn was with her, or at least I think that’s his name.  

Ali Involved In Drag Race

Litzy’s boyfriend had an 808 with a 12a Rotary in it and thought he could beat Ali’s car.  So here starts a drag race.  Litzy kept looking in my direction probably wondering where she has seen me from.  A car like Penelope’s drove past.  

I said to Ali “There goes Penelope, oh no it’s not,” so she must have realized from there.

While Bjorn was getting his car we drove back to McDonald’s.  Then ten minutes later we drove back.  From there we headed to the back of Leumeah after the newly built bridge to have a drag race.  Firstly, Imad lined up against him, as Ali prepared his car.  Imad gave him a race but Imad was blown by plenty of car lengths.

When they came back, Ali gracefully lined up his car in preparation to have a run.  As they both lined up I could feel the tension and common rivalry.  

As I was thinking in my head that Ali would win the drag race, they would have been thinking the same for their friend.  

As they took off on signal they both spun a considerable amount.  Ali kicked him on take off, first, second and third gear, but top end, the 808 beat him.  Ali’s car came back so graceful in defeat.  As he stopped, they made plans for another run when Ali’s car is fixed and so is Bjorn’s.

Teachers, Students, Schools, Language Partners, all in the one community. Jiaoyu Community.

Hanging Out At The Drags

After that I jumped back into Ali’s car.  Then we took off back for Campbelltown.  Heading back to Caltex we stopped and had a chat to the selective few that were there, back from the drags or newly joined.  

Ali as usual talked cars, but that didn’t seem to bother anyone, as that was the conversation.  The night was real cold and a jacket with a shirt was not enough to keep me warm.

Bjorn dropped his car off and then they came back in Litzy’s car.  Litzy stayed in her car.  As I gave her a glance, looking at her from a different perspective I thought she resembled Jewell in some features.  Because of that I kept noticing her sitting in her car.  After some time I started getting some looks.  I’m not really sure as to the nature of her looking at me but I can be sure there was some sort of attraction, as we glanced at each other and then casually look away planning the next attack of vision.  That went on until we were leaving with the big guns and heading for the City.

Grouping up five cars for the City there was a Monaro done up with a personalized number plate “VISHUS”.  There was also a Ford Falcon painted black that was a 14-second flat car.  There was a black jeep that came with us and there was a decent blonde catch sitting in the passenger seat.  The last car in the pack apart from ours was a Red Pulsar.  

Imad had left for the redhead’s house by this stage or just after the drags.  He missed out.

Drag Racing Into Sydney

As we drove to the City it was funny.  In most times we drove slower than the speed limit to keep up with each other.  This went on for some time until the three guns started running each other along the way.  

At one set of lights, The Monaro, Ford and Ali’s Celica were lined up with Ali in the middle lane.  As the lights turned green we all booted it.  Ali was the first out in front.  Something told me the other two V8’s with supercharge weren’t booting it as we were in the lead for 50 meters.  The Monaro didn’t try but the Ford flew past us a short time later.

Finally reaching Sydney we headed for Kings Cross.  At the back of Kings Cross there was a cafe that we stopped off at.  Parking all the cars there we got out and talked.  I wasn’t in that much of a talkative mood because the subject was mainly about cars.  Some of the time I was in the car, the other times I was listening to conversation.  

Leave Sydney To Avoid Cops

We took off when cop cars started defecting cars.  After a phone call from Penelope we started heading home with the big guns.

On the way home it was great once again, having runs and speeding home.  There was this one Torana that was custom made and had big fat wheels at the back.  You could see the Noz Kit from the back.  The Torana was huge.  From the back it looked like a monster truck.  It gave a little squirt and made the Monaro look bad.

Hooking Up With Our Girlfriends

Back at home we stopped off at Woodbine McDonald’s and had noticed the girls there.  We parked our car and then sat in with Penelope and Lyssa.  They were eating.  As Ali told his story of the night, Penelope made me feel nauseous when she got excited about the night and just started acting so fake.  

For example, she talked about Ali’s car and didn’t know what she was really saying.  She was overly happy for Ali.  They are announcing their engagement in one year where there will be a party.  That’s if they still last till then of course.

Ali and Penelope jumped into Ali’s car because I put my hands around Lyssa.  Once again, it was an act, because Penelope is a big girl and she knows when to leave.  As they left I lay on Lyssa’s lap in the back seat, as she told me about her night.  We started mucking around in the back seat and making each other laugh.  Ali and Penelope looked over a couple of times, maybe to get some pointers of how to be a normal couple and not a fake Hollywood couple with no cameras on you.  That was a bit harsh.

From there we left for the main street again so Penelope could pick up her cousins coming out of Chevy’s.  On the way out I had seen Zola with her new boyfriend Chisomo.  She noticed me in Ali’s car.   I gave her a wave and was then on my way.  

Penelope dropped off everyone and then Lyssa last.  Lyssa came to my window and gave me a kiss and then scooted off inside.  Ali dropped me off after a good night.  As I walked inside, they were planning to go out and have some fun together.
