Default Racing on 417 last night

To all the guys that were racing from a roll near Lee Vista on 417 last night, thanks for holding up traffic for miles, i was trying to go home from work to find a bunch of Ls1's acting like ricers holding up traffic for miles.

I am going to say 45-65 roll since well thats the min and max speed. Well of course unless they *gasp* exceeded the speed limit.

Racing in an LS1 doesn't make you a ricer, but racing in a civic or other slow mobile sure does.
