The wife and I ended up next to a WS6 at the light, I figured what the heck he will take me but who cares. I look over and see the sherriff right behind him, I told my wife watch this and I creep foreward, light turns green and he's off burnin rubber with the sherriff in hot persuit. Moral of the story, look in your rearview before you race, it was funny **** Im still smiling.

 

ROFLMAO

Even if you didn't race him, that still seems like a kill to me.

 

I did the same thing to one of my old roomates. I had just finished telling him how he needs to work on his shifting from a race minutes earlier. We take off from the next stoplight where a sheriff has just pulled up to the light. I see him and shut down immediately. He not only spins first gear, but then chirps second. I continue on to work as he pulls over for the cop. When he gets to work I tell him "I said work on your shifting, but not in front of a Sheriff". He got an exhibition of speed ticket. On the following weekend, he can't find a parking space in front of the dealership so he flips a U at the light and lights up his tires as he's finishing the turn. Bad part, is the Sheriff in the gas station watching him do it. He gets pulled over and his second exhibition of speed ticket in one week.

Just wasn't his week.

 

The dude was so intent on getting a good light he never looked anywhere except the light, the L must have shaken him a bit. Mart man I did the same U turn but the cop let me slide.

 

That's worse than a kill. That's like a cat playing with his food.

One of the things they teach in perfomance driving schools is not to get tunnel vision, and be aware of things around you. There have been many cases where someone is so concentating on the car ahead of them that they lock on and follow them right off the track if they make a mistake. The brain also shuts down, and adrenaline takes over. Cops are also trained to avoid this, not just when driving, but also in a confrontation.

It sounds like he was locked in on the light and the competition, and lost sight of the fact he was on a public road. Experience is a great teacher.

 

.... thats great, I can hear the conversation in my head...


Oinker: Sir, may I please see your DL and registration...

Dumb ***: What about the guy in the Lightning? Doesnt he get a ticket too?

Oinker: Well seeing as you were the only one racing, I cant really give him one.

Dumb ***: ....... Damn, I'm dumb as schit.....


Or *something* like that anyhow.....

 

 

 

LMAO........Oh yeah, 1 other thing

Kick the Flyers ***!

 

u probably could have beat him, i took 2 down at the track last time. one running a 13.8 and one running 13.5, to my 13.4x. its funny to look out of the corner of you eye and see those guys saying wth?
great kill though

 

thats evil man, just plain evil

I love it too.

 

Funny story... but, I guess I'm too nice.

I've had that happen several times where I knew the other guy didn't see the cop and I motioned to him to prevent him from getting a ticket. Both times the other driver was very thankful, and we ended up becoming friends. After all, we're fellow enthusiasts, no matter what brand/make we're driving.

Oh... and we raced later on anyway.

I raced several stock WS6 and SS F-bodies when I had my lightly modded (13.20) L. Beat them all to 80-90mph after which I shut down. Was a good 2-3 cars ahead of both. Down here in N. TX they typically run 13.3-13.5s stock.

 

dont mind me

 

I would have tipped him off but he looked at me, kind of like he was asking "why are you even trying"

 

Konig just tells you like it is, for *most* of us cops are more trouble then they are worth. Please no stories about the time your house was on fire and John Q Law jumped through the window to save your cat.
