I did a bunch of street racing waaaay back when.. In So. Cal..

Organized stuff headed up by Big Willie..

Willie was "The Race Master".. Not the clown on the show.. Very organized, and in charge..

He took the bets, started the races, and did the payouts..

At least Willie would bail out anyone who got caught, and help with lawyers too.. I really think he had a good rapport with the cops.

But it was much better when he got Terminal Island and we didn't have to worry about Cops..

As far as the "TV SHOW" goes..

I'm not doubting SOME of the cars on the show are very fast.. Hey, the show has it's moments.. But I just can't understand admitting to committing crimes on National TV..

You know, if you did this NOW in So. Cal and get caught.. They will "CRUSH" your car..

Here they caught over 180 people, arrested them all and crushed cars..
Don't mind the ricers getting crushed, but would hate to see early muscle destroyed because of this.. video..

When the cars got faster and faster, I stopped.. Saw friends die.. Too much trouble for the rush..

Met Sheldon Gecker, and went racing at the track.. Now have 5 Wally's and no worries about going to jail etc..



Brings back memories though..
