He wasn't sure what gear to put it in so he started out by putting it in "L" for what he thought stood for "Leap". He took off and shortly another guy pulled up beside him. He figured he wanted to drag so he put it in "Dr" for what he thought was "Drag". At about 90 mph he figured the other guy wanted to race so he shoved it into "R" for "Race".
