Rather then stoping this guy does some sort of power slide / spin through the turn and keeps going like a bat out of hell. It was one of the coolest things I have seen in recent times.

Thats where the gambling and violence happens. Although the light to light stuff can be just as dangerous. ~~~~~~Mike~~~~~~ Black 2006 VW Rabbit Silver 2000 Contour SVT - SOLD ~~~~The Car~~~~~

Back in 1992-93 I used to go down to French Rd, Lynch Rd, Harper and Outer Dr, Mound and Outer Dr, Mound and 8 mile, 6 and Mt.Elliot to name a few. We used to get down there at about midnight, race till about 1-1:30 a.m. and then the crowds just got too big, so I stopped due to safety. Back then I never heard of anyone getting killed by street racing, but recently its a regular occurance. Also those two Asian guys racing on Shoehner didn't help matter much, with one of them dying. I said it back in the day, they need to take a part of City airport that isn't used and turn it into a 1/4 mile track, period "THEE" Roger R USMondeo@aol.com 2005 Crossfire Limited coupe' -FOR SALE @buyout price & I'll... -throw in my 93' Regal as winter car Dragon Run 06'...Oct 12-15th Puur-fection Auto Detailing Complete packages from $140.00

You better make sure there is absolutely no way it can be traced back to you . . . if that video gets out, you're screwed. Balance is the Key. rarasvt@comcast.net

I went down to the Detroit races behind city airport a few times last year and a couple of other places that I'm not really sure where I was . 95% of the time it is relatively safe, but it gets scary when you have idiots in high powered rear wheel drive cars doing donuts and the like in the middle of large crowds and parked cars. When this kind of sh$t started becoming the norm, I stopped going. Ryan Shift Boots for all years Contour and Cougar!
