whats the story behind that? Were they ticketed? How did they get that footage?

and if they only 'raced' for a half of a mile, were they able to get a speed on them?

Hell I've got a vid of 2ish - 158ish with all our luggage in the trunk,my wife, and me in the car. I will try and upload it when I get home my wife filmed the speedo but OF COURSE some old lady turns around in the last little turn around going towards 41, so I let out coming up on her and the exhaust sounds pretty nasty letting out at 158.

Is it normal to deploy FHP aircraft to rout out the 'scourge of street racing'?
Or were those guys wrong place/wrong time?

I think that would be wrong place, wrong time. normally they just come after you with squad cars. Plus the absence of squad cars in the video suggests that the cops weren't ready for them. They wouldn't have let them get to there destination if they had deployed both the chopper and the cars going after them.

little bit of both, from what i understand before they even went out a cop rolled buy the hess(where they turn into at the end) and said i hope theres no street racing going on, and then the fact that a chopper was in the area is the wrong place wrong time deal
