I Was Held Hostage Street Racing @ Its Worst!!!
this saturday night, i got a call my from my freind to bring him a jack to fix his car and to come out to watch some races. i decided against better judgement and pulled up to the street races to park to meet 2 of my friends

As i was trying to park my truck Some drunk *** guy setting the cars off, didn't look, and dropped his hands while i was in the road.
a racing dodge neon srt 4 smashed into my dodge ram 2500 diesel going very fast. i was parking and trying to get in a tight spot.

Then a group of Puerto ricans told me it was my fault for the street racing dumdumdumdumdum being wrecked and beat me to a pulp till i was bleeding everywhere, and i remember a girl jumping on top of me stopping them from beating me up. I cant remember anything until I woke up in my truck with someone i didn't know driving it telling me that "dont do anything stupid because they WILL kill you and your family" because they have your information. And that It was his brothers Car who hit my truck. and Id better pay for it and not pull any **** or they will kill me.


With one car following from the back they took me to the HESS Gas Station in Disney World, and made me clean up where i mouthed to the cashier to call 911. they did and the cop came, but never came close enough for me to be safe to run over to him and it was to early to get the driver of the neon and the guys holding me hostage.

i kept calling 911 from my cell phone in my back pocket and managed to whisper"hostage" to the 911 operator while they were talking in spanish from car to car. after that i kept the phone in my pocket so the 911 could listen to everything. they were going to take me somewhere to make sure i wouldn't leave till i payed for the neon and or they got money or collaterall from me, and i dont know how bad they were gonna beat me up.

they told me "call your friend bro because after we meet you aint driving your truck home and your going to need a ride because you wont be able to drive"

He told me to tell my friend to come to the "Area" so he could pick me up later, but not the exact spot we were meeting, because it was secret.

I pretended to talk to my friend on the phone but i was with 911 and they didn't know. they kept asking me what vehicle i was in and i would say things like "yeah bro i told you im not driving my black truck im driving my green dodge"

i was told to tell him to come to the "area" so I said where are we and he said 2 street names which i procedeed to tell 911 two street names. They ask "Are You at that location now sir?" and i say "yeah dude" and then we saw an officer and i said on the phone "oh **** there is an osceola cop he might pull us over I got to go,

then the 911 operrator says "WAIT sir, are you in a GREEN TRUCK, and i say, yeah and hang up.

we get followed for a minute then pulled over by that cop, and then out of nowhere:

45 seconds later there is a helicopter and 30 cop cars in front and behind me and a cop is holding a gun to the driver door and screaming at the driver "GET THE **** ON THE GROUND NOW" and he is freaking out putting his cellphoneo and keys on the roof. my door is smashed from the crash somehow and it doesnt open so he climbs through the window and falls to the ground where they hand cuff him and then get me out and take me to the ambulance.

right after, the boys in the neon try calling 911 saying that i backed into him and a bunch of ****. but the cops knew the real story and after i get released from the hospital, i go to the scenes, and identify all of the people involved and the 4 of them get arrested for 3 or 4 felony's each since the Orange county police department was able to find this video on streetfire through a friend of mine:

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/D...ion_176266.htm
*note the neon in the pic is just showing significance of the damage.

Id like to thank the osceola county sheriffs office for saving my *** in this horrible situation that i came into.

Im sure there is someone on here that knows these people and will try and find me. But thats the price I have to pay now for going out to these stupid events, even when i was trying to help someone with there car.

WARNING :

^^^ I love guns and I can understand that comment and wanting to be a tough guy but, I have to respectfully disagree with anyone saying just having a gun would have fixed that situation. Did you see all the ******* people there in that video? you better have a couple guys with machine guns if your going to take on a mob. Always remember, escalation is a ************... Once you pull a gun, they will too. Once you shoot, they probably will too. I think the cell phone and wits proved much mightier than any gun would have in this scenereo.

that is sooo crazy! He is lucky!

I got hit by these two guys in a mustang getting off the freeway late one night. I drive into a gas station and they are about to pull in but turn their lights off and take off, I take chase and immediatley call 911.

I chase them for about 5 minutes through various streets while on hold with 911, thinking, OMG, I'm glad I am not bleeding to death. Finally they turn into a dead end street and I turn my Camaro Sideway at the entrance to the street think F you guys, you arent going anywhere. Then I realize, there are two of them getting out of the car!!! As they are walking up to my car the 911 operator finally answers.

I immediately yell out the license plate number and say there was a hit and run and they are now trapped on a dead end. she asked where I was and I didn't even know. I was thinking how stupid I was for doing this (without my Desert Eagle )

I looked over read off the street sign names and told her the city I think I was in. These guys are now at my car. Illegals. pleading for me not to call the cops. They don't have licenses nor are they illegal.

The one guy is showing me his Mexico ID and that his uncle owns a body shop showing me business cards.

I'm thinking that at this point I'm screwed. These guys more than likely don't have insurance. my *** doesn't have uninsured motorists insurance.

The 911 operator is advising me against it and is telling me that Units are on their way. I had just went home from my wife's Xmas party to pick up our digital camera and was on our way back when this happened. I get out of the car, take pictures of both of their IDs, the car, the plates, the damage, the registration, the guys themselves.

I ended up taking the car by the shop the next day and it was fixed in 2 days. The cops finally showed up when I was driving away (a few blocks from where we actually were). I just kept thinking how stupid was I do stop them without a weapon, not knowing what they had and if I really needed 911 how much did it suck that I had to wait so long to get them on line and for them to respond.

That is ******* ridiculous. I have raced in some questionable locations...but we were all civilized. Those people were crazy. Not to mention the video showing one guy just standing in the road as cars blow by him. I know when I hit 2nd and 3rd gear, my rear shifts as the tires loose traction..imagine standing there and getting knocked off your feet by a car racing by you. Idiots.

Sucks for the guy though Just trying to help a friend..

The kid was able to save himself by thinking on his feet. He is very lucky, and in the end he got the justice he deserved.
