    I think we are being a little too hard on these guys. I mean look, they have a readiness checklist. With that what could go wrong? Be sure to have your AAA card and 100 for your bar tab and you are set.

    If I were still in law enforcement I think a good case could be made for criminal conspiracy against the organizers. Jail time is a possibility. Hmm.....I do know some people.

    lol that'd be hilarious! Giant road block!

    Yeah yeah, 90% of Texas drivers are idiots, don't pay attention, don't adhere to the rules of the road like staying the hell out of the left lane when barely doing the speed limit! But...as much as I love to haul ass and buzz around slow moving traffic zombies, doing double the speed limit with traffic is retarded and so is crossing all lanes back and forth at those speeds!

    Why yes, yes I do - especially for sport bikes that like to lane split and go where they aren't supposed to be. And had I NOT been paying attention, I WOULD have hit him.

    People drive like this daily - they don't need a special event to give them the incentive to do so. A Plano cop I was talking to casually referred to it as "aggressive" driving...the speeding, the lane changing, etc., as if it was normal some how.

    lol No kidding! Always looking for the wrong cars. A sports car drives 10 over and is nailed for speeding even though the car is meant for high speeds, but an SUV or truck is doing 20 over they get over looked because traffic Nazi is busy looking for the sports car doing 5-10 over!

    One of the best examples in my book:

    Two of my racing friends are in their SUV's instead of their Vettes and wanted to see who's SUV was faster on the way home at about 4am after messing with the cars. I was in my plain white Miata and said screw this I'm staying way behind because I get harassed enough as is. We are the only 3 cars on the road and as they are freakin street racing on PGBT already, I'm not even off the damn on ramp and get pulled over by a State Trooper! My idiot friends even pulled over way up ahead still in sight to wait on me. The trooper didn't give damn even when I comlained that my 2 idiot friends are were racing their SUVs and I was just heading home staying the hell away! At least the ticket was thrown out.
