That thang hooked up and boogyed down the road

Helluva launch in the right lane. He came off that line HARD !! Does anyone have a schedule on when the next race will be held? Is there a cover charge?

Bigtime sleeper right there. Love it.

What dumb ass volunteered to be the starter? Did they draw straws?

Nice custom tag. RIP SOB. LOL

10:12, You are correct. The city should just set up drag times and charge money for car entry. Need a wrecker and ambulance standing by, you know just in case.

Apparently RIPSQB isn't worried about being identified.

Looks like a 78 Monte Carlo?

So JPD or CPD has his tag number, you think they'll pick him up or ticket him ?

Please shoot in landscape and not portrait.. Mostly sky.. :(

It's sure generous of their employers to give them the day off.

Where the best place to watch at?

At the starting line when you know they probably don't have blow proof bellhousings?

Or at the big end where somethang else can go wrong?

From the marks on the pavement, it appears this may not have been this location’s first drag race.

I notice that’s on Summit Drive off Medgar Evers. That may have been the finals, but they apparently hold a lot of time trials on County Line Road and Old Canton.

Just a good old boys
Never meanin' no harm
Beats all you never saw
Been in trouble with the law since the day they was born

Last time I drove down Medgar Evers I had to keep switching lanes to avoid the massive potholes.

May need to call in the National Guard to surround the area, in order to catch and release!

Why isn't Chief Joseph Wade onsite talking these people to death?

Where they buy they tires at?

Can't the city find a safe place for them to do this? It looks cool as crap, just not on a public road.

Ought to get the Highway Patrol in on this! I had 4 pass me today, blatantly speeding. One on Star Road about 1430, passed me in a curve on double yellow line. I was going 50mph, posted speed limit, he was easily going 60-70mph. He had no regard for the Law, or public safety. There is still right and wrong, this is wrong.

PS- no lights or sirens on, on any of the four.

Damn, what's these boys gonna do once da'mayor starts up his ridiculous $30 million reconstruction project on that drag strip? Gonna ruin the fun while lining the pockets of his favorite consultants and contractors.

Right by the Medgar Evers National Monument. What a great impression tourists must have. Precinct Commander and COP ought to explain the year old burn out pad layers of rubber there at Summit Drive and M E Blvd.

Or, just wait until an elderly black grandma is T Boned there is more like it.

Tourists? On Medgar Evers? Ha LOL good one

are there food trucks?

These young, able bodied men seem to have plenty of free time on their hands.

I'm convinced they teach reckless driving and install bad attitudes towards the public at their pretend boot camp instead of actual investigative or verbal de-escalation skills.

i surely do hope there aren't any side bets on the racing.

That would not be legal!

It's all fun and games until someone puts an eye out.

Dozen crotch rockets raced past me last week on I-55 at Lakeland, apparently using the I-55/I-20/I--220 loop as their local Tallegeda. Early afternoon, broad daylight. Not the first time I've seen that.

I’ve had the muscle cars & motor cycles zip in and out of traffic on I55 at 80 mph plus with JPD in slow lane make no effort to pursue!
