Fox 9 Follow Up

A//// Guy · 08-04-2004

I just saw the follow up on channel 9. Tyler got on tv that was awesome haha!

They chose to seperate the more "experienced" people from the younger group that likes to "play cat and mouse" with the cops.

Also they mentioned that MN dragways found a spot south of the cities but they said there is no confirmed spot.. just that it is south 1 hour or so.... which doesnt make it any better???!!! Rock falls is like 1.5 hours away.. woopty doo!

Anyway they just showed half of the footage from the last airing and expanded on a solution...

It was gay.

I just got done watching that also. I waited for that and it wasnt even all that great. They didnt make the racers look bad, but they also didnt say much other than tell us that they have a soon-to-be-track and that amateurs are the dumb ones. I wonder if he is refering to me as well, I've only had my license for 1.7 years but I dont play cat and mouse. I wonder what category my car would fall under, its got a Chrysler body but an import engine. Maybe its in its own category like....domestic import, haha..j/k!

And they did replay a lot of scenes from last Sunday, I still saw those two (monster)civics racing with that one guy who flagged them. Anyways...I dont really care if they do open up that new track place. Its still gonna cost more money than street racing (in some cases) and its still far away. I'd have to leave really early, then waste lots of gas getting there and then pay the entrance fee. By that time, there would be like TONS of cars there, so I'd only get like 2-3 races for what I've spent. I'd rather just go to Rock Falls every once in a while to see my time and thats it, after that its normal driving for me...unless I run into some cocky punk who thinks he is the Shiznit...some adrenaline rush every once in a while on the highway will keep me fueled for the track days!

Medford is only 40 minutes from Burnsville, and 50 from Minneapolis. And the drive down 35 is a HELL of a lot better than the one to Rock Falls on 94... I drove that road to and from work (Owatonna to Minneapolis) for almost 2 years, it's not that bad.

Channel 5 also has a clip on street racing coming up tonight. Looks to be on the victoms of accidents caused by street racing.

08-04-2004

Ty, how did you even get to be on there? Did you go to the Bdubbs meeting?

MustGoFaster · 08-04-2004

Well, one guy was hit by a 14yr old kid in a stolen car. NOT STREET RACING! The other was a passenger in a truck that was racing, he died. You know the risks if your are in a car that is racing. Other than that they showed some clips of rock falls, had Shaun in it, with the Supra. And also two street racing spots, one being the place on the river, the other just an industrial park. Overall, they just seemed to point out that there are legal place to race, but some people like the rush of the street.
Note, this is my review of the Ch. 5 story.

Where is Rock Falls? I have no clue where anything is? Is it a drag strip that's fairly local to Minneapolis?

curt_gendron · 08-04-2004

Here is Shaun:

And here is Trevor, a DSMer from the LaCrosse area:

These are both from the channel 5 report. Both reports are on the MNSC threads. Make sure to get a Divx codec. Have I mentioned that my media PC ROCKS!! :jammin:

Have fun,
Curt

Let's show clips of real problems.

People getting hit by cars of people chatting on phones and doing make up: i've seen it happen twice in person, both on Snelling Avenue.

Small foreign business ownwers using honest sales as a front for drugs and terrorism. Twin cities has one of the biggest terrorist watch lists. Next to NYC, LA and Detroit.

Home Invasions done by young kids, who instead of running, assault the home owner. Twice in the last month

Theft from autos by gangs in Saint Paul and area. happened to me 4 times.

Violent shoplifters. One of the last arrests I read a report on in downtown was a "12" year old kid. That's right 12. And he threatened a MPLS cop, who had a gun, tazer, asp, and mace. The kid had 3 knives on him. The guy before that was so big and violent, it took 2 cops, 3 security guards, and two good random people to control him. I've been maced, kicked in the head, punched in the face, kicked in the balls, spit upon, run over with a cart, and almost been hit by 3 cars.

I call that problems.

When was the last time you saw a street racing accident? I've seen one. In the last 3 years.

There are some serious problems with that track right now. I have been on it pretty steady because its really local (5 mins) to me. When it first was proposed in Medford one of the guys at the city hall(shack) didnt like it and vetoed it with no vote etc. Then enough of us bitched about the circumstances that has been brought back. If I can get some serious info from them, I plan to start a petition/donation to get it started up. If enough of us showed interest in racing there I dont think they could stop us.
