2 Kills Last Night

Had two fun kills last night in Naperville on 75th. The first was a Ford Escort Sport with an exhaust kit. Some clown with his woman thought he could keep up with me. We were doing about 50 and we both mashed the gas and I had about 7 car lengths on him to about 100mph. I have to respect him though, he kept coming back for more. He didn't run away with his tail in between his legs.

The second was at a red stop light with an Acura Integra GSR. Now mind you, I had two large passengers in addition to myself. I pulled on him right off the line and ended up being by about 5 car lengths ahead before shutting it down at about 80mph.

Was a fun night with my Valentine One in place on the windshield. Makes stop light racing a bit easier...

Im always in that area. I live near 75th and Lemont. Dont race in naperville man the cops are ****. I got a a drag racing ticket and speeding ticket from one of Naperville's finest without being radared and without really accelerating hard. Valentine 1 will only save you if they have there radar on.

A radar detector only does that...detect radar. If you're racing on local roads, cops aren't usually using radar anyways. They'll know you're speeding when they visually see you fly by, or hear your tires screeching.

You guys are preaching to the choir here. I know all of this. I have had a Valentine One for almost 4 years now without a ticket. All I said was, it makes it a bit easier. In Naperville, the cops have their radar on 95% of the time. Also, they are pretty easy to spot if I'm stopped at a light...
