So who was at Transfer with the rest of us 100+ cars waiting to be let off?
So there I was standing by the last warehouse on Transfer. There were tons of people there and races were going on about every 1 min or so. Then all of a sudden this car alarm comes on and someone yells "Cops" and someone else yells "Its just an alarm" Then just about 3 mins after that we hear sirens and everyone scatters to their car. I was walking my normal pace and then I hear "Police, Get Down." With no hesitation I sprint to my car and take off with everyone else. Unluckily, the police had already blocked off all of the entrances and exits. Only 5 cars made it out from what I heard. They made us line up in three lines and they had this lady walk by with a laptop checking everyone's license to see if they had been Street Racing. It was a long process and extremely boring. Good thing they only went after the people who raced. So they checked our DL's and Proof Of Ins. and then they started to let us leave one by one. I was lucky to have been at the END of the road and thats where they started to let us out by. Yeah, it sucked alot. It was the first time in about a month that I've seen street racing and that just so happened to be the time when we all get busted. I've been having bad luck since school started and this only made it worst :headache: .

Hell ya dude I was there. But I was parked in a parking spot in the last lot where there were letting people out so I was like one of the last people to leave. It was really boring but its a story i get to tell. Hopefully they dont send us tickets in the mail cuz they only wrote down the drivers name(me). I saw some people that were racing leave and not get anything the others got there cars towed. We were talking to the cops and they said they had undercover cops in the parkinglots. Then I notice this guy in a black firebird/transam just chillin out of his car not getting talked to like we were, so we told the cop and the cop goes dont worry about him. Then the cop went over there talked to him for a second and then he left. Right past all the cops and they didnt say anything to him. Then later I realized that none of the F body cars were there that usually are. HMMMMM Shady? All in All in took around an hour and a half and was kind of a waist of a night.

I think that guy is a State Trooper. I've seen him in a few different spots... directly before we get busted. He might also be Anti-gang task force, the crew in charge of street racing...

I saw that last night. There were an ass load of cop cars and there was even a helicopter flying above. Not sure if it was the news or what. It was all blocked off as we were getting there so we didn't get caught.

Wow, sounds like Red Rock about 3 years ago the night they released the the first Fast and the Furious movie.

But it took us about 3 hours to get out of Red Rock!!!

Now I see why I don't go to the street races anymore. I'll stick to the track, thank you. The gravel tracks, that is.

Ya, I heard it was pretty crazy!

There was a helicopter there. We were talking to the cop and she said that it was up there the whole time filming the races. Noone saw it. Thats one way the knew who was racing. I was skurred at first but then it just got really boring and worthless. Then as they had all the cars line up in 3 lines there was a guy with a camera following the cop to a couple car as they asked them questions. So maybe it will be on the news or something.

Personally I think everyone should have been nailed for something or another.

Yep, they should've gave all you stupid fucks tickets.Lets get a bunch of cars together and race, how smart is that?

Congratulations to all that were there!!!

You are (your name, DL #'s and LP's) now all on a Data base open to all Law Enforcement agancies can run checks on. This data base is for the Anti-gang Task Force, or the Strike task force. They record the names of those racing, and in some instances, record the make model and year. They track stolen cars, stolen parts, drug deals, funny money, stolen merchandise, along with a slew of other things.

This task force goes out EVERY weekend, and they are undercover. You will NOT know who they are unless some dumbass street cop gives em up one way or another.

You can give up any hope of staying harrasment free every time you go out to race or spectate. Your name is recorded, your car is recorded, and you WILL be followed if you are on the list. If enough repeat hits show up at a certain spot, such as Transfer or Shep, then they call in the ghetto bird....

So congratulations on your new classification, "Possible gang, street racer". I've seen gang fights, people getting hit by cars, people crash bikes, crash cars, people get robbed, and people go to jail for these kinds of things all while street racing. If you don't stray away from these things for the legal aspect, maybe you can save yourself from witnessing one of these many FUCKED up things that go on there everynight. Uni is cool most of the time, but my street days are over. I just wait for the day this shit happens to someone I know.

Please don't get hurt. If not for your own dumbasses, for mine.

Yeah, that sucks alot. It was the first time I've been there in a month and this is what I get! I dont even like to go there. Screw University for screwing me!...haha :fworld:

You've all been there and done or are still currently doing it so i dont get where you come off calling them dumbass's, unless there those damn silly ricers!!

Nick

Basically because the ones that are calling them dumbasses realized the consequences and quit doing that. If the people that were down there were smart enough, they would figure that out as well. That is why we have organizations that organize legal, sanctioned and insured events for people to get their speed fix.

So you're calling me a dumbass?

Your calling some of the employees of shops in the cities dumbass's as well?

Makes no sence. If you choose not to do it thats your choice. Those who choose to do it is there choice as well.

I'm calling everyone who does stupid shit like that a dumbass.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

There is many things lots of people do on a daily basis that endangers everyone else as well, so it all falls into the same perspective.

It gives those of us with vehicles that fit the description of the usual racer and don't race, a bad rap in the eyes of the law and public.So not only are you morons endangering innocent people, you're bringing trouble to people like me.

So I suppose we can't call a mass murderer a dumbass because he CHOOSES to do what he does, even though it is wrong AND illegal and we wouldn't choose to do it?

If you truly want to race, find a sanctioning body and organize some races. That way there is medical staff on site, it is legal, there is insurance for the event and everyone can enjoy themselves rather than looking over their sholders hoping they don't get busted.

And before you think that I am being Mr. High and Mighty, I have the ticket on my record that stopped me street racing. Sure, i still went down and checked them out to see what was going on. But since things have gotten to be alot tighter as far as the law enforcement goes, I don't want to be anywhere near there anymore. I'll stick to legal racing.

Pointless discussion.

How many people here smoke?

How many people here speed?

How many people here drive drunk?

How many people here do drugs?

I bet more than i can count on my 2 hands.

Point proven. Im out.

Yea the new people will alwas learn the hard way...

Weve all been there.. well except me, I havent ever beent to a hang out style street race like that one the cops busted.

Most of the people coming out of that bust will prolly think about not doing it anymore and might turn into LightningGSX and call everyone dumbasses...but until they learn that they will still go.

Lightining- You have never street raced or met at that type of meet? If you havent cool, but if you have then you were a former dumbass right? No offense, just thinking this all through.

IMO street racing is stupid, especially when you do it like they did.

everybody is a dumbass.. we just can't get along.. the whole world is full of dumbasses...

period


-e

Point proven? What point? The only thing that is pointless is your last post.

BTW I'm mainly refering to the groups of people and cars that get together and race.

I was at Redrock once like 7 years ago, but I quickly realised how many morons were there, and the potential of their stupid actions.

I’d say the spectators got off easy. Theres states where just being there is a misdemeanor and your car is impounded. Its not a surprise that the cops came either, an illegal assembly of 100+ people on private property?

This is a topic that will always be a huge debate. No one is going to change their minds and people will stay pissed. Contribute to it with that in mind. My input is this. Anything can be done decently and obviously this isn't it. People have been doing it in small organized groups for more years than most here have been alive. It works out fine and everyone goes home. This form of unorganized racing will keep attracting police and being a dangerous situation for spectators, racers etc as long as it goes. People will either learn and get smarter or lose in a lot of ways.

The attitudes of some of the people posting on this thread are just ignorant. Claiming a lot of intelligence and innocense when in reality I know much better. I have ridden with a few of those posting the big opinions in this thread and they are all guilty of being some of the worst drivers ever as far as the law goes. Rubber band stops, speeding everywhere way above the limit and just in general acting like an idiot behind the wheel.

And if he hasn't told you enough already, Eric M is the smartest person on the planet. I know this because he always has such clever opinions of everything and is or was part of MENSA. Wow, the blessing he bestows on us just by being in his presence. And of course nothing I mentioned about driving was related to him :slap:

This is all I have to say on this post, you were the one that got the arguement started.

And like Lightning said, we were former dumbasses but saw the error of our ways. In the future, if we come straight out and call YOU a dumbass, then get an argument going. Otherwise, keep it in your pants. If you feel offended by his comment, maybe you should think about why he said it in the first place. You are lobbying for street racing and illegal activities such as street racing by taking a stand against those who oppose it.

Opinions are like a$$#@!&s, everyone has one and you may not agree with everyone elses.

And BTW, people that do the things that you listed are dumbasses as well for openly doing those things.

I guess I forgot my excessive ~10 MPH over the speed limit driving compares me to people racing 100+ MPH down public roads in groups of 50-100+ people, what was I thinking?

Besides, I've been driving that way for close to 15 years and never been close to getting into an accident, so I guess I must be doing something right.

i think the saying is opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and they all stink

normal is only that which you surround yourself with. if you are brought up around races and go to them alot, then it wont seem like that big of deal. same goes with speeding. if someone does it for a long time, it becomes natural to them but to others its still wrong. its all in perspective. i dont agree with going to street races. if it was only you guys at risk for breaking the law, then it would be different, but there are people on their way home, to work, to see family, along with millions of other things that are more important than getting a rush by going fast and breaking the law. putting innocent people at risk is the only think i cant overlook in this situation really...

A bit over 10, try 20-30 over on Uni just to get food. Is that smart? How many peds do you endanger with that type of driving? Not particularly unsafe for you, but the people you might effect are in a much higher risk situation just crossing the street and not by their choosing.

Even if it were only 10 over, who is the judge over how much more danger you put people in? It is faster than deemed safe by the civil engineers who designed that area. Comparing the two things is a little different for sure, but maybe endangering people without a choice to be there and involved in your illegal activity is worse than people endangering themselves that do choose to be there. Judgement call, my point is that until you are innocent, pointing fingers and calling someone else a dumbass over a judgement call is just not cool. If you are a perfect law abiding citizen have at it.

I am sure some of them stopped because there cars were slow and they didn't want the embarrasment anymore.

I doubt I was going 50-60 MPH down Uni, that would have been a ticket for sure.The line between my driving and street racing, in large groups, is a very thick one.How you think my moderate speeding, and street racing in large groups is comparable, in any way, is beyond me.And you thinking the potential for danger in driving 40 MPH, as apposed to 100+ MPH, is in anyway close, is just rediculous.

Whatever.

What Mike is trying to say is that wrong is wrong. Yeah, one is more wrong that the other, but it is still wrong. Usually the street racing is taking place at a remote area too, so innocent bystanders are at a minimum, unlike on University. 20-30 over doesn't guarantee you a ticket either, there may not have been a cop there at the time.

I am not taking any sides on this, I haven't been to a large street race in a long time, but I still drive too fast and get into races. I am going to say to each his own, and let it go.

I'm not saying it stupid becuase its wrong or illegal.I'm saying its stupid because of the seriously increased possibility for people, innocent or not, to get hurt/killed and it brings bad publicity to the whole "import scene" and those who drive "sport compacts".

i just heard about this from my cousin, i guess people dont really care what happend yesturday (nothing happend except the cops just told them to go home i guess?).. its like they just shrugged it off and raced again tonight. anyways i personally think this is all a waste of time and its just not worth it.. also i believe that those who actually do race should some how get punished, it pisses me off that they get away clean.

How can you agree with an asshole?

I'm not saying I never raced, because I have

I'm not saying I don't speed cause I do

I'm not saying I don't smoke, cause I do

and I also look at A LOT of internet porn


I got 3 "NO FRONT PLATE DISPLAYED" and 2 "NO PARKING 30 FT STOP SIGN POSTED" tickets in the last week, and I know I did it... I don't walk around bitching about "cops with nothing better to do"

And street racing is a HUGE problem, so it's what they have to do. Police serve the general public, and the general public is majorly OPPOSED to street racing.

What I said was for people to learn from MY mistakes. If you know it's wrong, why the FUCK do you do it, and if you do do it, DON'T bitch about it.



When, and I mean WHEN, and not if, someone dies doing that, you can say that I told you so, and I will hold no pitty. I will feel bad for those who are affected by it.

So you go race, cause it's YOUR decision, and you die. Your parents, your friends, your fellow DSMStyle folks here have to lay you to rest. You are willing to chance that so you can get off on using cars to see who's dick is bigger. Your parents cry themselves to sleep. The girl who fell in love with you 2 years ago goes into a depression and starts using drugs or something, Endless unseen consequences come from stuff like this. I am reaking the fruits of these consequences as we speak from things like underage drinking, smoking, even promiscuity.

I'm an asshole here because I don't want to see any of you in the news, or in a morgue. So if that makes me an asshole, then I'M AN ASSHOLE.


And you all talk big online...

You wanna have a real big boy discussion, I'll be glad to oblige...

So were there any fast cars there? Or is it like Rock Falls on Import day?
