Blackout touge!

I'd just thought of an interesting story of a touge run I did just a little while back.

I'd gone up the touge with Tommy and Daniel just for shits and giggles as we were bored outta our skulls.

We'd taken the usual forward route past Batu Feringghi and into Teluk Bahang, and as usual, we'd stopped by the dam for some smokes and a chat. Just shortly after, it was getting late and it was a weekday, so we took the Balik Pulau route home as it was nearer and convenient for all three of us.

Tommy was in the lead as he'd wanted to try the feeling of being the lead car, I was lined up behind him and Daniel followed suit.

After turn three, Daniel thought it'd be funny to follow me in the pitch black darkness without any lights on. Daniel suddenly dissapeared from all my mirrors as he switched off the lights (ala Initial D), even though he was right behind. I could hear him, but I couldn't see anything!

Just a few corners on and I thought, "Hey, it'd be fun if Daniel couldn't see me as well. My.. My... What fun we'd have!". So I switched off all my lights too. Poor Tommy had a shock and had slowed down, ever so little, just to realize we were fooling around.

I followed suit as Tommy continued to gun the touge and Daniel was in the darkness behind. I had a shot as Tommy understeered and an opening was available. We did it Initial D style and I switched on my lights just as I was passing Tommy, if only just for kicks!

It ended with me in the lead (lights on liao la!), followed by Daniel (still persistent with his lights off), and Tommy was happily cruising at the rear.

We stopped by the curb for a smoke and some story telling, reaccounting the events that had just taken place. Sweet!

It was super fun... Just that you need to be VERY familiar with the route to pull this stunt off.

Good luck with the run. I hope you get a vid of it as our run was impromptu and no-one had a cam handy :(

Sure you can join bro! We're just a group of friends enjoying the touge... Gimme a call anytime to meet up and have a TT session.

My contact is 012-4077575

p.s. We dun bully ppl la... Just follow some simple logics such as to allow any faster driver behind to pass, do not overtake traffic at blind corners, and don't push if you're the slightest bit un-confident!
