I just hope they don't start harrasing groups hanging out more-so than they do now and saying they are "organized racers".

I understand a few pulls here and there but organized races is whack I believe. What is sad is that a lot of people use big meets that started just as a chill meet but now is a big meet to find new people to race which attracts negative attention from the police.

All of that police footage was from years ago lol. The video of the cops blocking everyone in was taped bye 2 guys that escaped the blockade after a few hours with a group of cars without getting caught. How come they didnt show that? haha... They do one of these news reports about street racing right before the summer every year. They show all the dumb kids with ghetto rigged Honda's. Im not hatin Honda guys, just stating facts here. And of course every idiot they interview talks about The Fast and The Furious. They never show the guys with fast cars racing on these reports. Oh yeah thats because the guys with fast cars are smart enough to go to places where they dont cause a big scene so they dont get attention from the cops. These reporters are so dumb and clueless as to what really goes on in the streets of Philadelphia . If those reporters actually saw some of the actual fast cars race, they would probably sh1t their pants haha... Also that car with the ghetto street glow kit behind the guy at the end of the video was Awesome. Lets you know about the quality of cars that go to Holstein to race

As long as cars are around street racing will never stop. Philly has been one of the biggest street racing scenes on the east for years and it still is.

That probably has to do with Philly being the 2nd largest city in the east

3X as many murders as street racing deaths. Maybe they should set some priorities a little better. The city is broke yet they can afford to fly arround in a helocopter to write a few tickets here and there. Hell, 1/2 the people wil lget out of it when they pled not guity because the cops won't show. Not very effecient if you ask me.
I could care less about people who race on the street or on the track. Last edited by jpalamar; 05-27-2010 at 08:06 AM. |

Lol, to be honest, I have no idea. But yeah, as mentioned, as long as cars are around, street racing will not stop. The fine, is expensive, but to be honest, if I were to street race (which I don't, and neither of us TST peeps do either ;)), the fine would not stop me from doing it again, it would just make me think of different spots that don't attract much attention and do it again. So I think this is another fail attempt and spending tax payers money.

Cheaper to pay the fine the go to the track anyway since you have good odds of not being caught very often. LOL
Just sounds like a PR stunt... plug since Nutter wants to cut the police force for budget reasons I can't see how they will have the manpower to take on any additional projects. |

i'm glad cops try to shut down that stupid crap down in "philly," but this helicopter swooping "in front" of cars nonsense is equally as retarded as the people racing in the streets. lucky for us, only the people that deserve to get caught go to the holstein races. none of us care about them anyway. lets just hope they don't start hassling our meet spots in this "great effort." |

The problem is that it's a lot easier to stop a bunch of kids who probably won't be armed or get violent, than it is to stop someone and risk your life. Though, in recent years it seems that the people who go to the races have gotten a bit more... "Forceful" shall we say. But, usually those people only come out when money's involved.
