+ 4 lanes aka arenth in rowland hts and sylmar

 

I'm glad to know they got arrested and their cars were taken away. Street racing is retarded, go to a track if you want to do that.

 

Whenever I hear of a fatality due to street racing, Naturally, I get mad and disheartened, but when I hear of a major bust such as this, I'm glad and happy about it.

It's even more satisfying when the retarded street racer gets his car crushed,

 

i'm glad they got busted. they deserve it....

 

Based on all the replies on this thread, I'm sure that seems to be the general sentiment around here....I'm sure 97% of us in here think they deserve to have to have been arrested and their cars impounded for 30 days and having to pay massive fees.

 

-Man Those Where The Days..* The Adrenaline Rush Is When yOu Run From The Cops..*

 

^ditto. you all know this will never stop no matter how much you want it to.

 

yeah i never see this kind of thing stopping

 

I was there they impounded my car



kidding its sad to see mostly all civics and integs saw a z32 and a corvette.. thats pretty much it. Hope they get they're car's crushed for being idiots.

 

The only thing this guy runs from, is the TACO Truck!!!

 

LOL to find a bathroom?

 

i actually was there back in 1999 when they did another big bust...

we got away tho but ended up scraping two rims doing it...$1400 flushed down the toilet

 

Cops are cracking down on everything now, even harmless car meets are getting raided because they often think attendants are meeting to "setup" for a street race, when in reality most people are just gathering together to discuss and enjoy each other's cars. It's sad to see that a few bad apples in the automotive community can ruin it for the rest of us. just be careful out there everyone.

 

It's easy to stand in judgement and call this thing stupid now that I am 37 and it really is stupid. However, it was exciting and appealing when I was younger. I used to go to the Ontario and Sylmar street races as a spectator in the 90's and it was insane. It was fun. I never raced, but mainly because my car was not on par with the competition.

One one occasion in 1994, I was at the Ontario races with my brother and a friend of ours and my bro told me to move my car because he had a bad feeling about where it was parked. I moved it up the street about 300 yards and, as I got out, a race started. The two cars came toward us and, just after they passed, some dolt in a Mazda MX-6 flipped a U-tur right in front of the two cars racing (dumb). Oce car made it past, but the other t-boned the Mazda hard and the MX-6 ended up going over the curb right where my AE86 had been parked before I moved it. There were no serious injuries, but that was my last time attending a street race. Imagine getting your car totaled while it was parked there and trying to explain that to your insurance company.

perfect reason to take it to the track instead. as some have noted, illegal street races will never die. this has been going on for over half a century. busts will happen every now and then; whether big or small. be careful guys.

o/t: ontario races mid 90s. i had 2 friends running (prelude vs civic, iirc). long story short. accident = 1 air lifted to nearby hospital and other taken by ambulance. both cars totalled. it was a mess with a lawsuit and broken friendships. take it to the track.
