Default Whole new way to win a race!

Go when the light's still red! I was at lunch today and came up beside an STi at a red light. It was raining out so I really had no interest in a contest. We were on a 6-lane divided road in Schaumburg. The left arrow turned green so those cars went. While the eastbound lanes (ours) still had red, this Darwin Award candidate punches it through the intersection. He was on the other side before the light turned green. He did this at multiple intersections.

I imagine this guy who looked like an "insurgent" with a wannabe beard is posting a kill against a black GTO.

That's a pretty good tactic if you ask me...no one would be expecting it. Not even people on the cross street.

I've heard of this as a joke, but I didn't think it actually happened. Wow.

Kinda like stealing the hit but more serious consequences if you screw up.
