I politely pulled two hundred dollar bills from my wallet and said "Ok, here's my stake. Where's yours? Or would you rather race for pinks?" At that point he quickly began to back peddle and offer many reasons why we should race for FUN. I told him to come back when he had cash or could afford to lose his ride.
I've had many pull up along side and want to race, even from stop light to stop light. I just smile and resist the urge. I know what it can do - I don't need to show off to prove anything.
