Default Re: I lost a race

LOL....hell I will mix it up with anyone... I just call it like I see it. IF you own a sporty car no matter what make it is, and you come on here and say, well I would never race my car....or I would never speed, then.... well, we won't go there....lol. I have followed behind people running 55 in a 55, who enter the city limits and do 45 in a 30. Is that worse than 65 in a 55? But..., I haven't been back on the road enforcing traffic laws now for the past 8 yrs. But I still hang out with the guys that do, and ride along once in awhile. Traffic enforcement really was a fun job. All kinds of stories, but all of us had a sense of humor in those days, but there is a new breed of officer out there. Kids just don't grow up car guys like they use too. Probably because the muscle car days are long gone. Exotics are out of reach of their pay grade. So, you just never know. My big thing with these young officers today is to remind them people are human and they make mistakes. It's the degree of mistake they make. Driving dangerous is one thing, running 80 on an open road along with other passenger cars is another. So you use discretion when dealing with speeders. Anyway, we all play one way or another, but going to a local track on a test and tune night, so you don't have race in a particular class is a great release for wanting to see what your car will do. Whomever you line up with is who you race. There is also grudge racing. You can challenge the Mustangs, Camaros, Chargers, Challengers, and the likes. I don't condone street racing, but I don't believe most people who say they haven't done it...either. I have sinned in this category as well.... Just be safe...
