I went out to see some street races at a local warehouse area last night with some friends and didn't get to spend much time their.
My best freind and another buddy of his had been telling me that they were their from 12am till about 4 am the night before and the cops didn't even show up once. They told me their was an SVT Mustang (2000ish) on bottle that had been spanking everyone except my buddy with his 00' Ls1 firebird. Supposeably, The stang owner wanted to run him again because he spun too much 1st gear and didn't throw 2nd right and bla bla bla..... So they were going to do it again. I was in my car with another buddy and was just going to watch. As soon as I role up, two guy's come up to my window and start asking me if I wanted to race a mustang that had a few mods ( chip, intake, exhaust, and bottle). I knew they were talking about the red 2000ish SVT mustang that was going to race my buddy in the LS1 firebird. I had been tuning my car all day long to run with this new Red A. 93 chip that I had gotten. I had been ragging my car for about two hours trying to get it to run at it's best at 15 psi and I decided to let it rest for the rest of the night, so I told him No (plus the Mustang wasn't even their yet so I wanted to see it run with my buddies LS1 first). I put my windows down and parked backwards and just chilled as their were some ricers negotiating a race. The block runs east and west for a bit more than a quarter mile. It's set up to lauch from the east part of the block and by the time they get to were every body is watching they are probably doing about 100mph ( the fast cars, not the ricers). I was the farthest car to the west in that little area. All off a suden, some yells "COOOPPPPSSS" so I start the car and head west cause when I looked to the east side ( where they were getting ready to launch) I saw the police lights and two cars blocking off that side of the street. I was the first car in the role of about 40- 50 cars and I didn't know in which direction to turn cause I had never been to that area. I looked In my rear view mirror and everybody was hauling a$$ behind me. When I got to the stop sign, I didn't know wheather to go north or south. I new I could get on the highway if I went south, but I new that the cops were going to block off all those streets as well. I didn't know how to get out if I went north, so I made a left turn (going south) and floored it , figureing If I went fast enough, I could beat the cops before they started closing all the streets. I was about half way to the street where I would be able to make another left turn and catch the highway when a cop turns from the street where I neeeded to go and heads straight at me with his lights on. He didn't block the road, he stayed in his lane but I prettended I was going to stop and then I punched It and went right by him, and my buddy behind me did the same thing. ( I figured he wasn't going to leave his assignment, which I'm assuming was to block off the road and trap as many cars as he could inside the area) When I got to the street where he turned from, I looked in my rear view mirror and I saw him making a U turn behind my buddy. ( Oh sh!T) I made a right and my buddy behind me made a left. I slowlly roled out to see weather he was going to go after my friend in the V8 rummbling Firebird or if was going to make a right and go after me in the "quiet-old-person-looking-Buick-car" (no offense). So I'm looking and rolling at about 30mph, and he freaken turns right and goes after me. I wasn't going to run from him at this point. I pulled over, turned off the car and threw my hand out the window and slowly opened the door ( No I have never done this before but I do watch alot of " Cops" And "Real stories from the Highway Patrol") when he told me threw his speaker to close the door and stay inside the car.He walks up to my door and the First thing I said was; "I wasn't racing, I was just their watching, you can see how cold my tires are sir". He gave me a bit of an atitude and said "yeah sure, Bla bla" He took my licence and reg. and then asked my friend for his ID. My friend had no ID and started giving the cop some lip. I'm telling him to shut the **** up just lisen but he keeps running his mouth saying things like "you have nothing against me", "run my name" , "I don't have to give you sh!T", Bla Bla, so the cop said do you want me to arest you and my idiot friend kept talking sh!t so the cop ask him to get out of the car and stand on the back by my trunk. My friend does that. The cop goes in his car and then returns in about 20 minutes with my Licence and reg. and most importantly, NO TICKET ! Wow. He goes and tries to talk to my friend but my friend start giving him an attitude......... and he arest him. Oh sh!t
After 4 hours ( It's freaken 5:30 am now) of waiting in jail for him, I post bail on him and finally take him home. What a Mission.
I will never again participate in any of those warehouse street races again. If it's something on the street while I'm driving around, that's fine. But I've had to run from those places when cops raid them 1 to many times now.
Be careful guy's, cops have nothing beter to do these day's than mess with street racers. Instead of looking for the people that are really commiting crimes and beating their wife and stuff, they want to mess with people like us that are just hanging out and talking about cars and having some fun.
Kill story: After I finished tunning the car at 15psi in the afternoon, I raced my buddy in his LS1 firebird. I lanched with 0 boost ( yes zero, at about 3,000 rpms) and still spun the tires for about 30 feet. He hooked and was able to put two cars on me from the hole and I wasn't able to catch him. I new that with 15 psi, I wasn't going to get him. His 3rd gear just pulls way too hard. he was able to streatch it to three cars at the end. It will be a totally different story with 20psi + and some race fuel at the track.
Thanks for reading.

I know it's not the cheapest or easiest thing to do sometimes, but we should all try to keep it at the track IMHO!!! BTW, raise the boost and let your friend see what GN tailights look like
. no way out. the funny thing was when we were gettin into our cars to get away, i told my friends "well they cant catch us all". well they did. every person there got a 15 buck parking ticket, as there was no racin goin on yet. however, for me and my friends it was much worse. we were the only ones there under 18
