In Dallas, the long arm of the law has gotten proactive. After numerous deaths of innocent bystanders the police cruise the local spots heavily and have deployed 'bait cars' to catch the streeters. You challenge one of them to race (even just revving the motor) and you will be pulled over and taken off to jail (car to impound at $175 per). Found guilty? Fine starts at $2500 and rises exponentially from there. Lots of cars go bye-bye as owner must provide receipts for high dollar parts to
prove they are not stolen. While I disagree with a lot of the tactics, I approve of the intent. Street racing deaths are much rarer, and the streets are relatively calm again. It makes zero sense to street race and risk grandma in her Buick when Ennis has low buck night drags, and you have real road courses close by. Let's get on the track and see how fast you
REALLY are!
For the occasional idiot, I have a badge from my son's playset that looks just like the ones a state trooper carries...from a distance. I used an old flip up leather notepad and superglued it in and it works like magic relieving brain cramps. You should see the looks on their faces and how fast they exit the roadway!
