SoCal double kill // 118?!?

Was it a real kill?
I don't know but it was fun!
Yesterday (Sunday) evening, 8ish on the way home from the office (hell yeah what do I do Sun. in the office?), I go up De Soto in the SF Valley and spot a kid in a Camaro SS. I didn't really wanna play and we were not lined up at the last light before the freeway entrance. However, at my most favorite fwy entrance to the 118 west (for the local guys) he tried to overtake me on the left (there are two tight right turns with two lines going up to the freeway - so local SoCal's may know this entrance). The first one is very tight and I didn't' want to buy him a new passenger door so I kept "calm" he accelerated uphill to the next right, I floored it knowing what the Rancho's and the ATR rear swaybar can hold and come in front of him, nailing down the second right turn with close to 50 mph.
I only see him struggling in the rear-view mirror *g* outperformed in a corner by a truck - LOL.
Game over I thought - cruising with the normal 118 fwy 75 on the odo uphill. All of a sudden he's behind almost eating may tailgate (he's pissed??). So I floor it and he tries to go buy. Uphill, close to 120 he looses it door by door - I thought "What a shame, I would have loved to show him my tailgate at 130+ ... and I slow down to 85... downhill the next try, ho comes ahead one car length since I wasn't prepared and again pedal to the metal ... again 120 he's gone. What a poor kid, I didn't know that these Camaros are limited, but I guess they are.... He never tried again and was not seen anymore

hahaha nice job!!! i know that area very well! i work off on Desoto, and i take that on ramp home everynight. i too have gotten some kills in that area and on the freeway. mostly ricers though, i took down an M3 on that straightaway heading north on desoto/plummer. anyway if your in the desoto area, my work is on the corner of roscoe and desoto, youll see my sy in the lot. although i havent been driving it to work much... but ill probably take it this friday. i notice when i dont drive my sy everyday, the times i do, are that much more fun :lol:

I love this fwy entrance! You can bust soooo many kids there ... thinking they can drive. btw Guy (Lavy) is also working in this area.

JESUS - You go to Alpine Village - geeeee tooooo much Germans there!
I have always dark Becks at home, not that I drink BUT you have to be prepared for the Americans showing up from time to time and offer them a good beer :)

This Hefeweizen in the German Deli ist way too expensive.

Ok got it!
Modify your post - no numbers in the forum (you never know). I don't race, broke to much - tell me where and when on Friday. Don't know this place, I am a foreigner and not a valley kid :(

flames is on corbin/plummer theres a gas station on the corner and its in the kmart parking lot...
theres usually quite a bit of people there... although most show up around 8 or a lil after. theres some pretty nice classics there n stuff, the rest is low riders and ricers...
the last few times ive been there ive seen a couple lightnings but havent raced any of them... last lightning i saw, i pulled up next to him and said "so, uhhh i heard those are the fastest trucks ever made... are they?"(with smartass grin on my face) and he smirked and said "nah... i think yours is... have a nice night" and rolled up his window...

anyway im off to palmdale... 8)
