Finally got a bite!
So I have a night class I'm taking Monday nights in the valley, and every night I have ever driven my new truck home from school, which has been a year at the most now, I never seem to catch a good race from anyone. It's always the same, me just flying by, and no one ever follows up or comes after me. Although note I'm not necessarily looking for a race, I just happen to be cruising between 80-90 in od the whole way home because it is always after 10pm and this is the 405north wide open.
Anyway onto kill, I been mashing in od from the valley back down south by the beach where I live, and finally I noticed some small older generation BMW headlights come up in my rearview quick from out of nowhere, I guess he didn't like the idea of a truck passing him. We both cruised down the far right lane at around 85 and he had been patiently waiting behind me for the lane over to open up so he could have his chance. We pass a couple cars and sure enough he dips left hard in the lane over and punches it, jumping up on my side quick. We're at around 80 at the start. I gladly reciprocated with a WOT and immediately jumped on him and pulled away hard until I shut it down around 115 with something like at least a few car lengths. He cruises behind me now as we have a few cars to safely pass now and a few turns in the road before our next straightaway. At this point my hearts actually beating and I'm super stoked someone gave me a run finally. So he's respectfully cruising behind me, not driving like some jackass flying 4 lane changes and not giving up lol which was nice to have a legit race. Again it opens up at the beginning of a half mile straight shot until my off ramp at the 10fwy, he gets on my side and gives it another go. He jumps quick so I hammer it down again and reach my offramp again in front, I thought that was the end as I merged over freeways and I thought he changed lanes.
All of a sudden he's on my *** getting on the next freeway, lol i was psyched he wanted to race more! We come around a bend and slowed it down to 60, as we come out of the turn we're now onto the far right lane merging onto the 10west. I wasn't paying attention to how fast he maneuvered but I glanced in my driver mirror and he was gone, I quickly glanced over my left shoulder and there he was 3 lanes over on the other side of this car I was coming up on already, it looked as if he was about to flyby me until I hammered it full throttle again from now 70ish, I immediately caught his pull and began walking him as I changed lanes one closer to him and flipped the cutout open, I was wot till I shut it down at 120 this time and we was quite a ways back now in my rear view, as he let off and flashed headlights. It felt so good, I hadn't done a 120 pull in months! He ended up following me at my off ramp ahead, and we chatted quickly at a green light lol, I forgot to ask him what kind of BMW it was because I never saw the back of his car! Lol, he said badass truck and I said thanks so much for the race. He also said that car was actually his new project, I wish I had asked what the hell it was!
