holy moly what a snag by the cops!

what was that many ppl doing and not expecting to make enough a sence to get busted though.

still sucks

[CivRacer95]

That is one huge bust. Sucks to have it broken up like that. But yet they asked for it when they all decided to get together with so many cars. Well, it sucks all in all. But the cops are doing their job, and they seemed to do a pretty good job of it. Late...

What a waste of time and tax money. 28 people busted and 10 tickets issued out of 400 Imp surprised they even reported this i would think its an embarrassment to police. I mean why is the Gang Strike Force wasting time on street racing when they could be doing some many other worth while things. I mean come on at least the races our taking place on a "dead-end stretch". I love the way our country works.

Wow...400 cars at once. Suprised nobody noticed like 400 cars heading in the same direction. It would suck to be them though.

Does anyone here know people who race with lots of stolen engines and crap?

Should we believe a news group that can't spell down?

a while back there was a similar bust here in AZ, but i think it was only like 200 or something...but in that one all the cars either got impounded, the drivers got a ticket or taken to jail + both a ticket and impounded car. kinda stupid, meanwhile the drug dealers and rapists are roaming the streets. heh

I get the feeling that there's going to be a lot of accusing of stealing engines when the vins on some of those engines dont come back the same as on the car...

[nissanfanatic]

WTF. I'm glad we have our good knowledgable friends at fox to clear things up for us. Like Thourun said, they are full of shit. Just like all of the media. And after all that, no stolen parts.lol They're dangerous all right. After having the cops come and arrest 28 people, well that means 372 people got away with no wrecks and no injuries. You know if there was a wreck or an injury they would report it. Sounds pretty dangerous. Sounds like some media bullshit to convert your average Joe into a hater of the performance and racing aspect of automobiles. Well, racing improves the breed.

small bust.. just wasting everyones time..

we used to get huge busts here 600+ cars.. even at the sideshows they'd impound 100+ cars and arrest over 50 people ticket a shitload of people etc but we have more then just street races here.. such as the Sydeshowz

LOL I didn’t think about that. That would suck to have your brand new RB, SR, or 350, yanked by the Po Po. Redneck or anybody who has or knows about buying used engines, what kind of "proof of purchase" did you get when you bought your motor?

[Thourun]

I would assume that unless the VIN comes up stolen they can't book you for not having matching numbers. Wouldent hurt to have a bill of sale in the glove box though.

[JohnC24]

don't the po pos have better shit to do than pick on street racers instead of like 90redgt said the drugdealers and rapists are roaming free. thats a load of bullshit. while people are dealing dugs and raping people they are worried about people racing. Far more people are affected by dealing drugs and rape than vehicular manslaughter.

[HighRev87]

On a closed street? How crazy...I can see them breaking it up, but having all those cops swarm the area was a waist of tax$. Thats my 2cents.

[xXxRocker5150]

I'm with all u guys on this one, and I just love (as Thouron and Nissan pointed out earlier) how intelligent fox it. I also think it's wonderfull how everyone who doesn't know shit about cars or races think's that they know everything there is about it (aka alot of news programs).
