Well there was a car show tonight a few miles down the road from where i work. They have a burnout contest, loud exhaust contest blah blah blah. I got to town just in time for everything to end...there were some pretty nice cars there. Well after the car show they have a cruise. And it gets kinda wild. The town cops sit on the side of the street and watch people race and do burnouts and all kinds of stuff. It was a lot of fun. I raced a CC Harley Truck with a s/c, beat him, a cobra with a s/c and he waxed my ***, then i raced a Mustang GT with exhaust and tune(03-05 i'd say) and put a couple links on him, alond with other misc. high school kids who thought their **** was bad. It was all fun and games until about 8:30. The cops said no more racing. We could "rack em off" and do burnouts all we wanted but no more racing...Ok thats fine with me, so i went into cruise mode and me and my buddy started hootin and hollerin at the ladies. Havin a good ol' time. Did that for an hour or so and then when i made the turn at the end of the drag there was the GT that i raced. He wanted to go again. I should said no...but i couldn't. He jumped so I had to lay it on the floor. 30 he was ahead of me, 40 we were even, 50 i'm pullin ahead, 60 i'm pullin more, 70 i hear oh **** we're goin to jail! Cop popped us doin 71 in a 35. He was super nice, could've/should've taken me to jail no questions asked. I was very nervous, more so than anytime in can remember in the recent past because I knew i was goin to jail and/or atleast going to lose a large part of my bank account. He gave me a $275 reckless driving ticket and I literally wanted to hug him.
What I did was stupid and just plain not worth it. I'd already beat the guy once tonight and didn't have anything else to prove. Alot of things went through my head afterwards. What if a little kid(there were alot of them roaming around)woulda ran out in the street for some reason, or what if someone woulda darted off one of the backstreets onto the main road where we were...I would be in jail for manslaughter. Makes a guy think alot. It sucks it took $275 for my brain to work but oh well...

 

seems like a decent price dollar to mph wise.
Bet the guy in the stang was pissed when he got the early start and still lost. Did he get a ticket too that you know?

 

Wow! that would be a dream come true if any cops were like that dn here.

Consider yourself very lucky, because down here you would be spending the night in county jail on a SATURDAY night in H-TOWN!!

Not to mention your truck would be impounded.

 

Yep sounds like you were lucky. That could have been a lot worse. I had an experience kind of like that once where a cop let me off with a ticket and he should of taken me to jail. It was a different situation, but I literally told the officer "Thank you" for the ticket and not in a sarcastic way at all.

 

yeah he told me if he took me to jail my truck woulda got impounded. and i also told him for giving me the ticket instead of taking me to jail

 

did't you get pull over not to long ago?......

Sounds like fun lucky you.

 

Sounds like you were really lucky. Did they put you in the back of the car? I remember something similar happening to me I got put in the car but got away with just a speeding ticket. Least you didnt have to pay to get it out of impound.

 

That sounds like alot of fun....I wish the cops were that cool where I live,they give out tickets at the car shows for doing a small burnout or as they call it (exhibition of speed)

 

everybody learns from mistakes, some of their own, some at the expense of others....

 

i would have thrown your *** in jail and impounded your truck and had all your accessories stripped..
