I gotta say i have raced there many of times and its really lite up with lights and it is not an intersate the driver of the suv should have seen the cars. People have been racing there for over 50 years because of the lights and concrete further up the road.

But thats completely different from my perspective. I think theyre both just as stupid, with the honda racers having a slight edge. I personally would rather see the racers pay for both parties' damages, wether the SUV driver was drunk or not. There is no reason to be dig racing in a open freeway.
And if the SUV driver was drunk, then go on with the procedure of suspending his license and the fine, jailtime, whatever he deserves. None of these guys should have a license.

i've seen this same exact thing happen at our local spot back in the day. I have it on tape somewhere.
300zx was lined up with a camaro dead stopped, when a load of cars turned onto the street heading their way (more street racers mind you), an evo slammed right into the back of the 300zx, flipping it over etc. 300 driver crawled out and fled the scene. it was a mess. The camaro got hit too i believe, we actually gave the dude a ride home
never could understand why a driver can't see two cars stopped in the road. Depth perception out of wack.

Oh, and I sent FHP an email with the link to the Yellow Bullet thread where they posted the FB page from Carlos, and I added in Carlos' FB page link to make it even easier for them
Found this over on the Bullet. LOL. It looks like some of them might have been from Orlando.

Hmm, I wonder if anyone's going to send this in to the PD as well. Along with the bounty of personal information that can be found in 15 minutes of internet-investigating.

Idiots. I have raced there before, and it was dumb then too.
Every one pulls off to the side and then pulls out into the road, but I am not sure why no one said anything about the car coming down the road at them. People also meet up on the Courtney Campbell Causeway in the pull off parking lots and will do the same thing. Only difference is there is a red light right there, and no one pulls out until the light turns red, and then they line up on the opposite side of the light to run.
The cops out there were generally pretty cool about it. Sometimes a few cruisers would pull into the lot and tell everyone to leave, and they have even sent a helo to fly overhead to clear everyone out. I guarantee they are going to start cracking down hard..

So what? What point were you trying to make? Did I ever say they were dumb for racing? No. They were dumb for stopping in the middle of the road at the end of a bridge. When we would race there, we definitely didn't do anything close to what they did. It is a different scenario when you block the road and cause a serious accident.
If you want, you can Google my username and find videos of me racing from a few years ago. However, I am sure I can find posts of you talking about racing as well, so you can climb off your high horse. The police aren't investigating every person who talks about racing online..

No high horse... not on my end, that is. Just that I don't take vigilante justice into my own hands, or act like a hypocrite. You're reporting someone else for doing something illegal, which you also are guilty of doing on a separate occasion. Before throwing someone under the bus, imagine that happening to you. I'll get off my soap box now and let this thread get back to... well, whatever it was before.
