Some races from a cruise over the weekend...

Grimm - I'm sure you see it as much as I do if you ever travel on 31. It always amazes me in the summer how many idiots fly by me doing 95+ on their crotch rocket or car, especially all the teens on the weekends going up to Grand Haven.



OMG Joshua, you aren't joking! This wasn't on 31, but on my way home from work on I96 this summer. I was cruising in the left lane behind another car as we approached a slower moving truck. The car in front of me passed and moved over. Well I'm traveling probably ten mph faster than this truck so I would have moved over pretty quickly, but I wasn't fast enough for these two morons on crotch rockets. I was doing 75, but they decided to go down the center between me and this truck and took off down the highway. I saw them do it off in the distance again. I don't know how fast those things go, but they had to be doing 125 easy. And one even had a girl on the back. Just insane. The entire time home I was waiting to see them laying off the side of the road somewhere busted up.



And to the OP, it's not just that some of us don't think it's too bright to street race, but me personally, those videos don't do a thing for me. Show me a video where a car goes from 0-whatever in the quarter mile in ten seconds or whatever. That is cool. Seeing one car take off faster from 40mph doesn't impress me. Oooh, that car has a better third gear than your's, wow! I want to see the total package from a dead stop.
 
Unreal Grimm, however I am not surprised. On my way home one night from going to Grand Haven I seen 6 crotch rockets all cruising in the left lane, they were coming up on me pretty fast so I got over to the right lane...I bet they were easily doing 100+ as they passed me. Well since 31 is divided, the cops can easily hide behind the trees and what not. I ended up seeing a police chase going both ways of the highway not 5 minutes after trying to chase down these guys on crotch rockets....I can honestly say I am afraid of driving on those highways mid-afternoon or during the evening.



Sorry to the OP for going off-topic in your thread!
 
that reminds me of one my barber told me a couple years ago. He was going from Muskegon to Grand Haven on 31 and he saw a guy lose control of his bike, crashed into the cement median, and ended up sliding along the top of the median for like 100 feet or something. He wasn't in good shape after that.
 
This thread got turned up side down!



I was reading the posts and I just kept thinking about the pizza guy from the fast and the furious that gets pissed and says "damn street racers".
