Killed two ricers...with a truck Three lane road, two Hondas (Civics, I think) sitting at a light in the center and right lane. I pulled up next to them, they never even looked over. I could tell they were gonna race cause they kept inching up a little bit as the other direction's light turned yellow. I started at about normal acceleration to make sure they were actually gonna go, and once they had about 1/2 length on my pushed the pedal to the floor. We only went up to about 60 (limit was 45) or so, but by then I was already about 2-3 car lengths ahead. The guy in the center lane was smiling in disbelief when he went by me, gave me a thumbs up, and kept going. I dunno what these guys had in their cars (other than a fart pipe each), but the satisfaction of beating both of them when they didn't even know I was involved was great. My truck isn't unbelievably fast (14.38 @ 95 is my best 1/4), but it is a 4wd truck and doesn't look fast. Anyway, fun story I thought.

Nice kills 
It can be startling when a truck is quick and IMO a low 14 second truck is quick. You just do not expect a truck that is that heavy to launch as hard as they can.

Scottsdale and Cactus...sometimes I see a lot of guys running around in ricers up there, but races are few and far between. I raced another guy in a Dodge Ram from there once too, but it was awhile ago. What part are you from?
