I'm here. Crap I almost **** myself on the way here. I was exiting Zinfandel from 50E. That onramp is fun because there are a couple of light curves and a hill, making it so you can't see the intersection, but you CAN see the light itself.
I exit the freeway and downshift to fourth. I see that the light is green, as do the other cars around me, so we all maintain our speed so we can make the light. As I approach, I shift to third, then shortly after, I shift to second. Now, a few months ago, I learned a lesson that would save my silly *** today. As I crest the hill and the intersection comes in to view, I always scan it, first for cops, second for cars that may be running the light (I've nearly been clobbered here quite a few times). As I scan, I see a white helmet come in to view, and instantly I slam down the clutch. As I can see more of the person wearing the helmet, he's looking directly at me, likely trying to find the low flying airplane on the onramp. I coast through the intersection, right past him, and down the hill on the other side, for about a half mile, clutch in.
As I go by, he watches me, and then watches me for a couple seconds after. Then I kind of see him get a weird look on his face and he starts looking up the over pass, behind him and down the ramp. I guess he thought the noise was coming from me, but when I coasted by him like a bright yellow ninja, I made no noise and he was very confused.
Phew. Got the adrenaline going though :|

Doing it this morning made me want a lighter flywheel and to get rid of that dam delay between letting off and the ECU holding the throttle open for a second. Damn emissions. While I'm still *****ing I want to get rid of the clutch delay mechanism too.
