"They actually close the road sometimes so they can race," said Trooper Hernandez, who noted just watching the illegal event is a crime.
Not that I condone it, but I watch people speeding on local D.C.-area Interstates almost every day. Is that a crime?

These cops really have nothing better to do, this has been going on for years at that location. Yet they're acting like it's news....

More likely these guys. Street racing is a little closer to their mentality.

LMAO. I was busting up too. I watched a new report recently where they were saying how this insane driver was being chased by police on the highway at speeds of up to 100 MPH. LOL.

Default Waste of TAX dollars!

LOL - "More than 1,000 cars lined up for illegal event: FHP" and "When officers showed up Wednesday night, the cars scattered. No injuries were reported, and troopers made at least one arrest."
1000 + cars and 1 arrest. Great work cops. Hopefully it wasn't just the guy watching.
