Default End of my street racing!!! My experience!

Yah so me and my friend alex (sikcrx) were coming back from the local track (houston raceway) and it was about 11 o clock and not one person on the raod so we decided to try to top our cars out! We got to about 115 and a cop out of no were pulled up next to us and pulled us over. I knew we were screwed! He then took all our info and said we are going to jail for street racing. So he called a tow company and impounded our cars then he took us to jail! I was so pissed. We got charged for recless drving and going 102 in a 60mph zone. Good thing he didnt clock us when we were going 115-120. So we went to jail and I guess he fealt bad for us so he just called our parents and let us go. Didnt get home till about 2 and just got a ticket. I guess we are kinda lucky. Thats it im never street racing again its just not worth it! Only gonna bring to the track! Just letting all yall know be careful out on the streets the cops dont ---- around!!! Peace! Best time I got on the track was 16.1 on stock civic-(basic bolt ons)could of prolly got in the 15's if I had a few more runs but got kicked out for only being 17! lol

Welcome to the wonderful world of Honda cable-drive speedos... you were probably doing 102 mph, not 115+.

If your radar detector went off, that means he got iether you or your friend. Your radar detector pics it up when he uses it, not when it's just around. If your radar detector went off, that means you,your friend, or someone else around you got radard. I know someone who did this for a living in the marines, he convinced me that I didn't really need one. Correct me if im wrong please, but i think that's how it works. I guess it would still be nice in traffic or soemthing so you know hes using it and its around.... I dunno..

works on the freeway in traffic. when the car ahead of you gets radar'd you know and then you slow down,
