You can enjoy racing your own car without being a POS who steals others’.

My wife was pulled over for coming to a rolling stop at a stop sign in a Central neighborhood once, on a Friday night at 10PM.



yeh, I've gotten many a ticket when I lived in BR for going 5-10 mph over the speed limit. Speeding not doubt, but now they don't even do anything about people doing donuts in the middle of the street or swerving in and out of lanes.

It's nothing that we weren't doing in our 5.0 Mustangs back in the 90's. Goldie's on Florida at Flannery was the spot back then. Sometimes Choctaw between Monterrey and Airline.

Housewives are both more likely to accept a ticket without issue and pay it.

Drag racers are more likely to shoot a motherfricker or skip a court date.

I don't know why anyone is amazed. Police in this state (and elsewhere) do not enforce any traffic laws. Very few people obey any traffic laws because there are no penalties. Red lights, stop signs, yield signs, etc., have no meaning.

It's a symptom of a larger issue. It's indicative of the big problem.

The Metro Council doesn't realize it though.

The Metro Council calling this a big problem highlights their failure, but they're too stupid to realize it.

I don't have a problem with drag racing. I have a bit of a horse power addiction myself, but do it on a drag strip away from people.

They could break up the street parties on Sherwood in the racetrack parking lot by quarters

Yes, because each time I go out at night, I'm worried about fast casts, not getting shot.

Rowdy is the biggest tool on the council. He’s a democrat walking around as a registered republican.

I guess all the recent murders are just covid related then.

Probably a fair amount of overlap in the murderers and drag racers.
