FTFY.

How do you know what the drivers were wearing?

[Chevrolaine]

Wonder what made the driver decode to get out his camara and film this?

In the interview of the videographer, he said the two cars were playing with each other before they got to that light. I woulda had camera in hand also!!

That kind of "drag Racing" is done on foot, or so I have heard.

Maybe you guys above can throw stones, but I cannot.

Not at all saying that it is ok and that should not have happened, but I am not innocent like y'all must be. I have done the same thing in the past, but thankfully the Lord has protected me from "stupid" many times till I learned there is a time and place. Guess you guys learned that earlier than most.

Yep. Me too.

The Lord doesn't protect me at all, but I was lucky a few times as a teenager/young adult. I don't street race, and haven't for decades. I've noticed that the more track time I get, the slower I drive on the street.

It's ok to condemn this behavior, even if some of us have done it in the past. Nobody's perfect, and sometimes our emotions get the better of us, but we all know street racing is wrong. Right?

That's what I tell my kids: "Don't do as I do, do as I say!!!"

Any Tapout stickers on the windows?

[shmoov69]

?

Some people believe in luck and some don't. Whatever works for you at this point, I know what works for me!

And as I said, I Am not saying that it should not have happened......meaning they deserved what they got for being stupid. I'm just thankful that I have not always got what I deserved.

I wanted to post that yesterday morning, but held off.

The Woodlands is a well to do area, it's nothing for kids to drive vehicles around like this. About a year ago they had a kid from this area posting videos of his speedometer going past 160 on youtube. Not long after that he was killed flying down a feeder road where he some how lost control and flew into the top of a building. It is crazy. I remember when we were younger we would find a road out in the middle of nowhere with no houses or cars on it to do our thing. The cars were allot slower then.

Oh God JP, Not the dreaded "TAPOUT" Stickers, there all over Orlando, and it shows the type of driver instantly!!!!

This thread is also a good example of what happens when you post a video of your car breaking the law. I always remember the guy in the F40 that got his tickets and summons in the mail after the police saw the video of him going over 150mph on a highway passing cars.

Careful who has the camera going on around you! and with everyone carrying a phone capable of capturing you it is a whole different world these days.

it also reminds me of that idjit in the new Dodge truck that rolled it doing a burnout a couple of years ago... i think he got busted for insurance fraud, too..

i always love these street racing threads on all the different boards.. it always brings out the people that claim that they never, ever under any circumstances properly utilize the loud pedal on their 500hp cars on the streets..

I think it would be safe to say that if I was the camera car I would have been a whole lot closer to them and it probably would have gotten real interesting when Mr. Chain Saw got whiskey. Did anyone notice that the C5s plate says "CHN SAW" yet he clearly uses a C6 for his tree trimming?!

I live about 10 minutes from this location and it is not uncommon for two "fast" cars to be around each other and catch a light at the same time in this area so I have had those temptations before and seeing someone catch it on film is an eye opener. Cant get away with anything anymore with all of the technology.

It was easier to do this stuff away from populated areas back when there were still unpopulated areas. Now the average young wealthy suburban punk would have to drive for 2 hours to get a clear spot to do that. And after 2 hours he would be so far away from his familiar turf, that he still wouldn't know the good local safe places when he got near some.
