Ok, so after I get back from having birthday time with my family, around 11pm tonight, me and a bunch of friends decided to go out and get some clips for our video(we're making a car video, a la TurboDreams). We decide to go to the highschool parking lot where there's plenty of open space and lots of ice on the ground. We go around back and get ready to go. Before I go any further here's the people who were with me and the cars...
1. Me - 1996 Camaro Z28
2. Zeph - TT Supra
3. Jerry - Turbo LS
4. Suwan - Prelude SH
5. Scotty - Civic EX
6. Christof - 1999 Trans Am
7. Jeff - Dodge Viper GTS
8. Marco - Corvette C5
9. Serena - Turbo SI
So we hit the lot with all of us, and about 10 or so other people who are passengers in various vehicle. As expected the ice is thick and very slippery...It's PERFECT!
We have a couple of different people filming from different angles and stuff, getting tons of good footage of us basically just having fun! Burnouts, donuts, Initial D style ice-drifts, some mini drift races around cones and parked school buses, the whole deal. One of the most memorable stunts is when everyone lined up to form a gauntlet. 4 cars on each side, all with our drive wheels pointing inwards, so we're setup like this...
out = in = out
out = in = out
out = in = out
out = in = out
And then we all soaked our rubber in a healthy dose of bleach and started to spin 'em up. We got a HUGE cloud of smoke going, then Jeff in his Viper, the "odd man out", drove back and forth, from one end of the gauntlet to the other. One camera-guy was in the car and one was at the end, waiting for him to come out. From either view, with all of the smoke, it looked GREAT. Another really good one was Jeff, in the Viper spinning around in tight little donuts(once again with plenty of bleach
) and then I spun AROUND him in big donuts going the opposite way! That looked amazing! We were considering having someone else go AROUND me, when everything went to hell
Two Fairfax County Troopers pull into the lot and drive over to us...We knew we had it coming
Anyways, to make a long story short, I ended up with a ticket for not having my license on me(lost it!), Suwan got one for illegal tails, Serena got one for wheel clearance, Zeph got one for no registration, and Scotty got one for his exhaust. And the worst part about the tickets is that they didn't give any of us the option to prepay...Meaning we all have to appear in court! How insanely GHEY is that!?
They also gave us a lecture about trespassing, and said that the ONLY reason they didn't cite us ALL for trespassing was because it was my birthday!!
So I guess that's a good thing, heheh. We did also end up with about 35 minutes worth of fantastic footage for our video as well, so that's a good thing.
We really should have known better...After all, COPS LOVE DONUTS!!:finger:
