I took my 135 to the drag strip just to see what it would run. While I was in the staging lanes, I had the hood up and had it shut off. I was pushing the car as the line moved because I didnt want to heat soak the car, plus I dont like to idle my cars for extended amounts of time and starting/stopping them every 30 seconds is stupid. The car is light enough that pushing it is not a big deal. Anyway, I had a guy yell at me
guy: Why are you pushing it, it will be ok.
me: I dont want the car to heat soak (I always jsut break down to simple terms for simple people, I always assume you know nothing about cars)
guy: its stock, it will be ok. I had one, I know.
me: still dont want the intercooler to heat soak. Its not a big deal
guy: (he seemed pissed at this point). Then you should get a something something (I couldnt hear him because he was kind of far and my helmet was on)
me: what?!
guy: its because you dont know anything about your car! hahaha.
me: yeah I do. Thanks for your concern....
guy: no you dont!
Me: Ill go back to racing, have fun on the sidelines...
The next time I was in the staging lanes, I looked for him and he was gone. I walked up to his friends and asked where he was and they pretended to not know what I was talking about. It kind of made me mad, fug it. I had a good time at the track.
