My first race..and crapped in my pants!

I was driving my 2001 SE/auto and its one of the nicest cars I have ever picked up. I'm so glad I bought this car but it seems that I can get into lots of trouble with it.

It was a Saturday on Long Island, NY and I was heading on Stewart Ave. Everyone knows NOT to speed on this strip cause Garden City cops are NO JOKE. well, it seems that a 4th Generation Max, i think 1998 or 1997 comes up with his boyz and wanted to race..we were keeping up with each other till I put the pedal down a bit. I was doing 70 at that time and the limit is 30! HOLY COW! we went through this one spot where the cops were and nobody was there..i kept smoking this guy till we were at a light with tons of traffic. I reached the light first and he pulled up after me. About 6 cars lined up behind us and we waited for the light. Not about 2 seconds later, I saw a Garden City cop spinning his light and coming around.. OH CRAP-O-LA!!!!!!!!!! I looked over at the other guy in the Max and he was crapping also... the cop came closer and closer and closer... and he passed us! he went through the traffic light and passed us.. I think he had a more important call...WHEW!! last time I'll do that in that part of town!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I never went to see that movie. I bet there were bunch of cops that went out to see that. Kind of like the Fast and the Furious for cops.

One thing I've learned....Its always worse to get a ticket, then to not race. When ever I get in a bad situation, I curse myself more then I would ever cheer if I won a race.

I guess if you're going to race in that area, wear brown pants and get an extra heavy duty air freshener...

Also dont forget to pound some Baby powder in your Private Area .. .. Ny has changed a lot since I left in 1992 when Francis Lewis Boulevard was the place to race every saturday after 11:59 when the local precint did a shift change..... Streets full of 12-11 second mustangs and camaros with NITROUS and all the goodies...An occasional Eclipse-Talon with all wheel drive and HKS......But for the most part it was 99% American B@lls !!!......then again , I was a teenager back then.. ..Wish my Stang was back in my hands... ... i guess I got married !

Hey Andy, I think your learned a lesson... never race in a 30 mph zone. I'm glad everything turned out ok for you.

Cheers

Yeah, racing in a 30mph zone ='s

loss of license, you gotta really be carefull when you feel the need for speed. Damn it's nice though when you know you are about to get a serious ticket and Johnny law just flies right past you.

Funny story.... Long but funny.... I was on I40 in Arizona headed to the Grand Canyon in my Trans Am LT1 with all the Goodies.. No cats, 4 Inch Exhaust all the way out, special sauce etc... I was being followed by a Ferrari Testarrossa... ( not sure about spelling ) ... he starts tailing me and my V8 Rumble. I engage my sauce.... he goes to pass me , I hit full open Throttle !!,,,, we hit 150 MPH, he;'s getting SMOKED.. were going over a hill and my radar detector starts going crazy. I slam on my Brembo's and .. get down to about 120...I see the cop with his radar on.. Ferrari boy has manged to go slower than I did.... I pass COP boy..... I hit the throotel again, hoping to hit the next off ramp, except COP booy sees me, he folows me off the ramp and tracks me down to " BILLY BOB's" Gas station. After lecturing me for 15 minutes, he gives me a ticket for 92 mph... and says : " Dont let me ever see you around here again boy! "..that was the biggest Tick I ever got, it could have been worse.. Ferrari boy got away, he kept going.....

I wonder what Ferrari boy was thinking when his hoop couldn't pass you? He spent how much on his car and he couldn't even pass a Trans Am... Too funny,,, well, funny except for your ticket!

I think there are more cops in NJ then the whole state of Michigan or WI.. consider MI and WI are like 10 times the size.. one thing I learn in NJ... never race.. I just took a trip back to NJ one week ago and was driving the speed limit.. some guy come on the on ramp, and was behind me, I guess I was too slow for him, so he flash is high beam and got around me in a pretty high speed... no later then 2 sec after he pass me, Highway protol fly by me and pull the guy over... it was a great feeling.

I agree. Cops in NJ (mainly the State Troopers) are like a swarm of angry hornets. Not even the CHPs in Cali were that bad (from what I've seen when I was out in LA two weeks ago).

I dont like smokey's but they wouldnt be a problem if they just had designiated racing spots, not even tracks, just areas, it would be so much more effiecent and safer for everyone. hell have the cops sponser it, i mean theres nothing that they can get us for in an area like that, they might as well come along for the fun!!!
