Kill from FFW on Gandy, anyone here?

[LeadSled1]

Well FFW was here last weekend. I went out Saturday night to the usual spot and it was packed! I didn't see any of the usual guys so I drove over the Gandy bridge to see if they were on the other side. (it's a two lane bridge that is flat and over 2 miles long. A great race area) Just before I get onto the bridge a red LX almost pulls out in front of me. I pass around his front end just missing him. Hmm.... seems like he was in a hurry. As I get about 1/4 mile onto the bridge the LX comes flying up on my left and jams on the brakes staying even with me pacing me at about 65mph. I had my friend Brian with me and it was his first time out to the Bridge in about 10 years. He looked at me, I looked at him and gave the Stang a nod and it was on. I kinda felt sorry for the guy since he was on my passenger side and my cutout was open. I pulled away at a decent pace with about 7 cars to 120. He ends up getting in behind me and we make a U-turn at the end of the bridge. I start to accelerate thinking he will not want to play anymore but the he gets up next to me and the passenger rolls his window down and starts motioning with his hand to slow down while he is hanging his head out the window. I figure he is going to ask for the move or some cars so I roll down my window to see what he has to say. When I do this he starts to slow down so I try to get back even with him by hitting the brakes. I've got my head halfway out the window so I can hear what the guy has to say as I slow down when I hear it, the driver down shifted to bring his Rs up but he is trying to hide it. I knew it was going to happen before I saw the car jump, he floored it. The car definately had drag shocks as I could see plenty of air between the tire and the fenderwell, he was about half a car back. By the time I got my head back into the car and she downshifted he had about a half a car on me. His passenger was still looking directly at me as they went by. But when the trusty converter spooled up I instantly walked by him giving the passenger a smiley grin as we went by. I could have sworn I saw his jaw drop. From what Brian and I could figure out they thought by slowing down they would jump my car and have to hold me off till the topend but my car is actually faster down low. Hehehehe.... Surprise surprise. They shut down after I had a heck of a lead by 90. It was a fun night.
