kdio,
Yeah baby!!!
280 is still one of my favorite personal speedways. I used to get on at Black Mountain northbound and look very carefully over at the southbound side for hidden bacon(they usually hid by the Caltrans fenced thing on the side of the highway), then take the Skyline exit, turn around somewhere safe(haha, safe while talking about 3xlegal limit speeding) merge back onto 280 southbound while looking for CHP lurking in the lanes behind me. Then as soon as I was pretty sure it was clear I'd hammer it all the way back to either Black Mt or head down for another exit or two, depending on how bad my speed jones was.
If I made a run and didn't bump the rev limiter on which ever car was being flown it wasn't a successful run.
I had that piece of highway so scoped out I knew exactly when traffic would be thin enough to make a run. I was so bad I would go down to the CHP HQ in Redwood City and figure out when they would change shifts. The buggers used to stagger shift changes. Never did get a ticket on 280.
Did get a good one on the Bay bridge at 2am once. Not only the ticket, but I got spanked by a monster twin turbo Supra.
