I remember that, had duty that night or my ass would have been nailed, my neighbor lost his Ken Bell cobra that night. We never blocked roads but we used to jump on I-564 post a lookout by terminal blvd. Head toward the base flip a u-turn to go toward I-64, come through the tunnel line up and go. Roll-ons digs ect this was done late so there was really no traffic on the highway. State troopers had posted a lookout for the crew the night they got busted just out side the local hang-out. When people took off the stupid ass ricers would all follow to watch, record, try to keep up ect. Those idiots are the reason the cops knew what was up, it got out of hand and sometimes 20 plus cars would leave at the same time. This night was no different so the the state trooper lookout called it in. The cops setup roadblocks to keep other cars from entering the highway. The racers thought the coast was clear and did there thing only at the end of I-564 they were approached by a rolling blockade of trooper patrol cars going the wrong way on the highway. They nailed 30 plus cars that night (see what I mean by out of hand) and really only 4 were out to run each other so two races. Others would just try to keep up and record, or race they were always behind the T/A's tail lights when I ran out there so no telling what the hell they were doing, I know a couple of times a few lined up with me and the cars I was running. The highway was 4 lanes, so we went 4 wide a lot, others would get behind and try and keep up or park down the highway and watch, cant tell you how many times those idiots got yelled at and run off, but in the end it wasnt enough and the state made some money off of tickets and impounded cars. That was the end of street racing really for me, few exceptions if someone bates me and I dont have the wife or kids in the car its on, but haven't really went out looking for them anymore.
