I did some online search about Racers and saw the pictures of them. The iridescent color on one of the photos, really is the color I saw, though I'm surprised to read that they are only about 3 feet long at most. Because the one that came at me, seemed much longer than that... But, maybe that's the part that's due to my imagination...because it moved so quickly toward me and I was scared. Are the Racers poisonous, by the way?

Another question: Could it have been a rattle snake, which I read, can be nocturnal in hot summer months?
