Kind of like a "Cannonball Run" I guess.

 

Pretty much, they do it for prize $. Everyone throws into a pot, winner collects the pot. It's an "exclusive" invite only club. Kinda have to prove you have the balls to do it and one of them has to notice it. Brings it to the other members and see's if you can be invited..

 

So I've heard..

 

 

Here is the place I was thinking of:

I'm pretty sure it's not that club. That's kinda like a time share for fancy cars. Anthony from O&A belongs to that club...

 

 

 

As for the covering the plate, I think it's $45 or something and that's it. I've gotten a few of them back in the day.. A simple license plate cover can get you this ticket.

 

Can always use the excuse "I had it blocked for pictures that were being taken while at a car meet and must've forgotten to take it off"

 

 

A lot of people call it "Blasting" as well.. You'll find some videos if you look under that I'm sure..

Not going to comment on what, if anything, should be done to the officers, but the complaints were rediculous.

 

IF they had a police escort, why was there traffic for the cars to be weqving through? Normally when you see a police car with lights on coming up behind you you pull over and stop until it is passed you...

I wish I knew! I would have been out to play

 

with what?

Uhhhh, traffic Does not stop for cops on the turnpike and parkway, i don't think i have seen 1 car do that in my entire life. This makes the Staties look pretty bad, the whole point of an escort is to make it safe for a caravan, not MORE dangerous. Clearly an inside job, who calls the cops when they are taking out there 100k+ car to go 100+mph.

In all honesty 90% of the drivers I encounter don't know what to do when they see a police car/fire truck/ambulance with lights and sirens + air horns coming down the roadway.

where was a random deer when you could really use one..

Sadly, I've had that happen while out goofing around. Made for some good video.. from 130+ to 360* very, very quickly lol

 

 

Ahhhh to be young and foolish with not a care in the world... I miss those days sometimes..

did you learn your lesson.. because that's all that really matters..

So when did this happen? 2010 or just now recently?

 

Whats in it for the trooper? Had to be some higher ups involved in this, hard to believe a trooper would escort just for shits and giigles.

 

Doesnt Kurbeck (sp) Corvette do this on the ACX annually?

and the suspensions start...

Seems like it happened twice

They should be fired and never hold any Govt job again. Never ever again should taxpayer money be used to fund such complete indiscretion. They showed a complete disrespect for the laws they are supposed to enforce so they should lose all pensions, benefits and kicked out on the curb. It is not holding them to a higher standard, it was a crass disregard for the law. If it were you or I we would have been pulled over in a heartbeat and ticketed to hell.

Kinda sorta, I rode the middle lane instead of the slow lane. Like any kid with a well built, well prepped fast car I thought I was invincible.

The event itself has happened many many times. Escorting I can't speak for, but I've seen these guys/cars (assuming it's the same crew, which reports seem to confirm it is) have been doing this a long long time.

 

When I was still in the "car circle" I heard rumors of being escorted, but never by whom. Most of the guys are running police type lights/strobes CB's, etc etc.. This isn't a "game" to them.. It's $ on the line.

A sample..

any one watch the mischief teckedemics videos?

 

This stuff goes on annually and has for YEARS, you basically pay to join the run, which has nothing to do with breaking the law. Your entry fee generally pays for all the exclusive stuff hotels/clubs. It's for people with really small D*cks, ehm i mean low self esteem, that need to spend a lot of money to feel important. Racing is generally just something that ends up happening, but the idea is NOT to race to the destination, and having a police escort to me defeats the whole purpose of these so called runs. They generally have nothing to do with car clubs, these are organized events.

We organized a caravan down to baltimore over the summer for Bimmerfest, anyone was welcome to join guys in and out of the club, it was for fun, not to feel special. We spent a weekend down there enjoying the city. I don't think i spent more then 500 bucks and i probably had more fun then these old farts and there lambos. Even hit my first Tity bar. haha. I can think of a better way to spend upwards of 10k then feeling special that im part of some cool "RUN", yes they cost LOOT to participate in. This is a way for people to make money, not bring together car enthusiast. It doesnt cost anywhere near what they charge. When they do cross country runs they want almost 20k, i think they rolled to vegas from philly a year or 2 ago, entry was around 15k

And that show Bullrun was HORRIBLE!

I have the urge to get in front of one of these vehicles and hit the brakes really hard if I ever see that happen.

You're talking about Rob Ferretti(SP?) and the rest of the Superspeeders jackasses?

Although I dislike what was done, I do have to wonder why this board always goes to the absurd and wants punishments outside the law.

 

Heck, I'd be happy to see the law enforced and some common sense workplace discipline.

 

The guys were using their company cars to conduct non company business and break the law. Give them the appropriate moving violations and probation for the theft of services.

 

Then, like a teacher who would buy booze for students, fire their asses. If they don't have the time in to secure their pensions, tough. If they were under duress from a superior, maybe cut them some slack and suspension without pay for a bit, a crap assignment for a while, and some unpaid community service.

What Matt said.

with what?

 

My 2 wheeled ferrari Picking on supercars is a favorite pastime.

My intent would be to come to a dead stop.. probably literally at those speeds

Arbelest, you realise your professed actions would create a far greater danger to EVERYONE. How about you leave the law enforcement to law enforcement...........

I realize that which is why I won't actually carry out my urge to do so. I'm sure at one point or another people have said I wish I could do such and such to teach them a lesson or make a point but don't actually do it.

Better answer. And if Im not mistaken you can always call the NJSP if your willing to sign the complaint and they will have a car come and pull over the offending driver. I do not howevere recall the 3 digit #.

The report agressive driving number 711?? That works well if a troop car is along that stretch of highway.

Here is the place I was thinking of:

 

http://www.vulcanmot.../who_we_are.php

 

 

They don't condone, or at least from what I know about this club, crazy aggressive driving, nor any behavior like this. The only thing that I can think of is a bunch of guys rented a bunch of super cars, possibly paid off a couple friends in NJSP, and had themselves some fun.

 

Vulcan is basically a company that rents out super cars. I have seen groups out driving 3 different times, all from Vulcan...and all 3 times they were driving like sunday drivers. Not saying all renters drive slow, but god damn, you're most likely rich and driving $250k cars, speed a little.

That Ford GT video was lame. He just stayed in 6th and cruised at maybe about 100mph, I wouldn't even call that a chase. At least downshift and get some speed to give yourself some distance.

+2. I love smoking sport cars that are 30 times the price of my toy.

Hmmm. And just how is that going to work in this situation? Call the idiots to report the idiots (same idiots) that are condoning this illegal activity? I can hear the NJSP laughing about the phone call now.....

 

Lucky for them I wasn't driving along there. I have been known to brake for unicorns crossing the road. Try to prove otherwise that I wasn't braking for an animal, after-all, the animal got off the road and out of harms way because I braked/swerved to miss it!

 

I perform the same services for the morons that think the little gold shield on their dashboard gives them the right to weave in and out of traffic.

 

My word against yours and 99.99999% of the time, you rear-end me, you are getting the ticket!
