One of those idiots will end up killing an innocent family. No one will learn from it though. :nonono:

Not to condone whats going on but in the same light these high speed (into the 200s) pulls are done on a desolate section of a toll road deep into the weee hours of the night. The road has many 2-3 mile straightaways with no entrances nor exits in those stretches. Just straight road and a concrete barrier for you to match wits with, if so inclined. There is usually a spotter car that breaks away form the pack and runs up a mile or so down the road to radio back an "all clear", both for traffic and leos.

If shit goes awry, it will probably be just those involved who reap the consequences, and they know what they signed up for.

I was on a tollroad in Houston after an Astros game last year heading towards Missouri City area, is that the toll road your talking about? Literally nothing out there but the toll road at that hour.

Yup there are a few out here that are used primarily for rush hour commuters. After that's done, hardly a car on them.

It's on toll roads man. I was there last year and after 9 or 10pm there isn't a soul on them. No exits for miles either. If they kill anyone it would be themselves.
