I have noticed time and again cars flying through traffic and generally driving very fast are driven by black fellas. Not a racial observation at all.....it really is odd.

Most of them are not on the way to a matter of national security or the ER; however, a noticeable percentage are obvious professionals as well.

not really. I get that could be it, but I really do take note of demographics of all.

I live in Houston and my daily commute is about 45 minutes on major highways. I can't say that I've ever seen enough evidence of this to make this observation. In fact, my data points to the opposite. Brothers and Amigos seem to have no place to go and no time to get there.

Street racing is huge in Houston.

Depends where in town you are. I-10 heading into town from Barker/Katy area are mostly soccer moms and Asians.

One night at 2am coming back from Katy, 20 Asians with rice burners stopped all of I-10 eastbound so they could race. One of them ended up hitting the median

Yeah.........I've never noticed that.


I mean there was one time that there was a guy defying death weaving in and out of traffic who happened to be black, but that's the only case that has stuck out enough in my mind to even remember the race. I just remember that because he almost killed me twice and I got a very good look at him.

I actually saw a seriously modded Mazda R8 the other day and a black dude was driving it. Gotta say, that thing looked like a quality piece of equipment and reeked of speed.

Maybe its weird coincidence. I came back from Sugar Land from a meeting and got flybys by 4 guys......

Maybe a case of random coincidence on my part. As I said, not profiling AT ALL.

I'm gonna have to also disagree. I find that there are selfish drivers of all colors in and around Houston. I would even lean towards white trash dudes in trucks being the most obnoxious of drivers.

I make this drive twice a day, and you must have just had a weird day. Were you on 90 or 59?
