Default AZ members Beware:

After the past weekend producing 3 deaths from illegal drag racing, Patrols will be stepped up and there will be zero tolerance for illegal racing. I have friends with a few departments and they are going to choke down all the known illegal racing spots and keep the cars.

I live along Bell road and get every tom dick and harry trying to race my Z06. I won't road race and don't condone it. I have a family and two small children and that alonescares me and i hate for them to be on bell Road at night.

Keep it safe my friends and go to Firebird or speedworld! Save the innocent who have no clue they are in danger!

you mean the ricers!! the ones that race down bell at 80+ mph.

i'm all for the crack down on the retard kids that would race on a busy street and don't have the driving skills to parallel park!

even in my day, we went somewhere in the middle of nowhere to run if we want to play. taking away the risk to anyone but ourselfs.

it is the ego filled ricers that try to "rule bell road" from my experience there, they exit the mexican food rest. as if they are leaving from a pit stop in nascar. and they race down bell rd, not a smart choice, and they wonder why they got their rice patty taken away. it seriously isnt worth the trouble you go thru after being pulled over. but give it at least 2/3 weekends and it will all be back to normal. it was about 2 months ago some friends of mine were involved in a high speed collision with a friend of theirs and they hit bell hard like the night after and the a couple weekends after but then it was back to its normal routine.

I was pulled over on Happy Valley just west of the round-about a few weeks ago. During the 5 minutes I sat there, I probably saw 3 or 4 pairs of cars going at it. Ridiculous. Glad I DD a 7500lb 3/4 Dodge 4wd Diesel.

Cant miss them if you watch the news...string started off with the death of a 70 something yr old in a camaro when he wasnt racing he was just driving his car and was hit by people racing. saw another one when i was at work over the weekend on the news kind of ignored it cause i thought it was the same one with the old guy but it was a different one. There was another one on indian school and i think 51st or something like that crash happened in the rain an accord and neon

The last few times i have been around the bell area there has been a few numb nutz hauling *** out of the mexican food joint, but its not just ricers doing it. For some reason trucks swing by then proceed to leave like idiots lol. But yeah the amount of cops that I saw the last time told me to stay away from there for awhile not worth it.
