They are quick. My first experience with one was when I was walking along an MMP. I heard a commotion in the brush next to me and a Black Racer came bounding (literally...they move FAST) out of the undergrowth. He saw me, slammed on the brakes, spun around and took off in the opposite direction. Must have been chasing something.
