No Pike for Me this Summer

My god. This is getting out of hand.

I kinda like the idea of meeting there every once in a while though. My friend's turbo '88 Bimmer coupe would probably get a good crowd around it. :shrug: Maybe then, with all the Contour guys staring at it, our cars could get some attention, too:shrug: '

And PS... Anyone see that 12sec Escort on the NETC thread?:crazy:

Street-Racing Sting Yields More Than 100 Arrests
Police: Racers, Onlookers Taken Into Police Custody

POSTED: 1:55 pm EDT April 21, 2008
UPDATED: 5:51 pm EDT April 21, 2008


HARTFORD, Conn. -- Police arrested more than 100 people in connection with street races over the weekend in Hartford.

Hartford police arrested 106 people -- 95 of whom for racing or watching the race. Officers said that 11 people also received summons for trespassing. It's illegal to street race or watch a race in Connecticut.

Some of those arrested were participating in races, while others were watching the races, according to police.

Channel 3 Eyewitness News reporter Aleesha Chaney reported skid marks are the only visible signs left of the street racing.

Kim Hopkins, of Hartford, walks West Service Road regularly and has seen cars race by.

"I saw two cars starting to drag race. The first one went, and it was a Camaro, and he went first. Then, there was a second Mercedes behind him.

Chaney said street racing has become a growing problem in Hartford's North Meadows neighborhood, resulting in a sting operation by Hartford police on Sunday morning.

Police said the arrests were made after officers conducted surveillance in the area.

"It's alarming. It's frightening," said Jerry Reed, a runner. "It can be very dangerous. I run basically during lunch time. There are a lot of cars but I can usually see them from a distance."

"There was one gentleman who had a older Mustang that we called the police on several times, and finally, he's gone," Hopkins said.

Court dates for those taken into custody are spread out over the next month.

Still, as long as we just go to shows at Dunkin, or any of the other places that hold official shows, we shouldn't get bothered. :shrug:

I'm still going to the Pike this summer. It's never been a problem for me with the cops. Drive normal and leave the parking lots when they roll up and you'll be fine.

Until I get a bunch of projects finished, my weekends are pretty much tied up. I have to get my brothers Mystique running ASAP. I need to get a parts car removed. And I need to get my 00 SVT sold, but I can't do anything without a title.
