Yeah, apparently dead end streets are easy to block off...whoda thunkit? Also, what a small bust for such a large operation, seems like kind of a waste.

"This sh*t was ocistrated" really? I couldnt tell, or was that guy just quoting FnF . Some of those street racers were dump, and I think the cops should have shot the windows of the cars trying to run them over/ run away.

the cops should have shot the tires out and beat the kids inside for being a bunch of dumbasses. Then make confiscate their license and they can only ride bikes from now on

:rolleyes: What an appalling waste of resources when they can be chasing real criminals like j-walkers and ravers.

Avid J-walker here. :uhoh:

I'm still downloading the vid but is this the same 400 morons that were caught in this article (originally posted in the Street Racing forum)?

**EDIT** Just watched the vid. The vid and the article go hand in hand.

That was some stupid crap. 1) They shouldn't have been racing there 2)Nitrous Oxide can "blow an engine up"? 3) How do they know street racers came back and broke the windows? Ugh.
I guess my car would "flag" as stolen or something since the VIN on my sr20 doesn't match the VINs on my chassis. Oh well, maybe the term "street racer" will go away soon....

Yes it can.

3) How do they know street racers came back and broke the windows?

The windows of the warehouse where tons of cops poured out of and ticketed street racers and ruined the night were broken the night after...Gosh, who could it have been...?

It raises the pressure higher than your engine can tolerate.

Honestly, if theyre trying to crack down on stolen shit that's good, but come on, there's got to be something better for them to do. It's dangerous, but if there's nowhere else to go....what do they do? I don't know if its true, but in some state they were supposedly trying to pass or did pass a law that said if youre caught street racing, youre car gets crushed....rumor or true??

that would provoke high speed chases... i know i wouldnt want my $20,000 car crushed

but in some states they can impound your car for racing
