*** street racing ***

I can recall being on a motorcycle trip with about twenty riders. We were on some interstate through Alabama and came upon a three car accident. Two of our guys were nurses, and they stayed while we rode on to minimize the vehicles on site when the emergency units would arrive.

One nurse told us that he went into the overturned car and found a driver hanging upside down in his seatbelt. They exchanged a couple of sentences, and then the guy died. Even he was shaken up.

My wife has been a nurse for 35 years. She's had several people die in front of her and it never becomes routine.

When I was about twelve, I rushed into an apartment on fire and pulled a guy out. As an adult, I've performed the Heimlich Maneuver on two people and treated a person going into insulin shock at a Burger King (orange juice with lots of sugar).

I say that to say this: take a Basic First Aid and CPR/Heart Defibrillator class. You never know what you might encounter.

When I got hit by a drunk in a Jag, my FD was an accordion.

Somebody pulled over and pulled my big ass out of there, after that moment I make sure I always stop if somebody wipes out.

Always will.

Fucking PREACH! - these new motherfuckers are killing it for everyone.

The idea was to be low key and not get caught, I've been at the dig spots since I was 4 (thanks to my racing mother) and I was a well known figure in the Detroit/Cleveland/Pittsburg Scene in the Late 90's-00s and Houston in the Mid 00s-Late 10s (I'm semi-retired now lol)

Outside of other car guys / forums you'll never hear me even mention racing.

The cool thing now is to be out in open. Post everything on social media, tell on yourself etc. No more meeting down in the industrial area or the docks at 2AM, just meet at the intersection or freeway during rush hour.


Cleveland. 🫡

Bruh, my transmission was sitting in the passenger seat - no lie.

I was nasty, fat full af from my first 4th of July in Texas (2005), my 1st wife was Creole so I ate stuff I didn't even know was a thing lol

I was cruising down I-45 and a drunk was in front of me in a Jag XJ, saw how bad he was weaving and bobbing (drunks are a thing on Texas roads) so I dropped a gear to get around him..........they clipped me in the front driver's side and I lost it - hit the concrete head first at about 65-70 mph........in a '93 RX-7 that I just bought 3 mos prior, cash.

I have pockmarks in my face till this day where the windshield shattered.

brutal man...
sounds like you were fortunate to make it out alive. mine wasn't so bad because the light turned green and i was rolling or else it would have been much worse.

Why is it always a mustang driver? I remember a couple years ago leaving work and this same basic thing happened right up the street. Regardless of the people racing, this all could have been avoided if the drivers that got hit paid more attention.

In 1995 I test drove a RX-7, the 2 unique things that stuck in my mind to this day (besides being an amazing driving car) was that it was an automatic (those seem rare, most seem to be MT) and when I'd close the door from the outside, I could see the B-pillar flexing just from closing the door, and I thought to myself "this car must be really flimsy!"

Damn beautiful car though!

Back when I was home, I used to run with a couple of guys on the west side. Cruise, meetup, everyone on the same page and chill. Two of the guys I use to run with now run Cars and Wings and Recharge Rally in Cleveland.
