There was a biker meet last night at Chuy's at Magnolia & 15. A biker was stopped, surrounded by 5 Corona PD, as I head into Lowes. On the way out, there was another biker stopped, surround by around the same number. That's when I noticed Corona PD was really patrolling the area, a lot of them. Moral of the story: Don't meet in Corona and it doesn't appear to be limited to cars only.

I have been in San Diego for the last 6 years and I can tell for sure that the racing scene here was affected pretty badly with this all dragnet deal. Police has an 1/8th mile track down here as a part of legalizing the racing scene; however not many people go there since it is way too short.
If they had a 1/4 mile track out here I would not be as pissed. I just riced out my Scion TC and now I am thinking that I should have bought a fast stock car instead and kept it that way.

Dude, it's a little off topic, but how do you add the little custom banner to the bottom of your posts?
