LOL..welcome to judge Yeomans court! Your friend quite possibly picked one of the worst places to get popped. You could have only done worse in old spring...

 

I think that is the case for most of us - But speeding and racing are two very different things.

 

Next time street race at the K-Mart on Westheimer...so you can get paid 10 grand. Wish I'd have been there that night...I was up at Post Oak and Westheimer that night. I'd have gladly stayed a night in HCJ for that much coin.

 

Are you talking about that time when like all of houston police swarmed in on the racing meet they had there and arrested everyone, even spectators? It was all over the news etc...

 

Yeah, that was a long-*** time ago...like '01-'02.

There were definitely some street racers there and some who were meeting there to go race, and they certainly deserved to be busted. But most people they nabbed weren't involved in any illegal racing...people like me that just met up to shoot the **** and swordfight over the car chicks.

 

You got $10K from that bust?

 

No....I wasn't there, but they settled the court case recently and the City had to pay like a million in damages to people wrongfully arrested.

 

Yeah your friend needs to be more careful on mason rd. Not a good place to race. i should know. Back in 2000, I had a 1999 Dodge Dakota 5.9L R/T and was racing down Mason Rd. I t-boned this lady almost killed her. Alot of headache and heartache. Not worth it. If you race, go on I-10 or feeder by Cinemark.

 

yah, in old spring area, you'd get sent to the pokey and wake up with a carrot in your butt.

 

dont forget lots of probation

 

This happened to me about 3 or 4 years ago and all I got was one night in jail and 1500 in fines and 6 months probation. IMO it wasn't that bad but that's just me
