This subject brings back memories now!!
This was back in 1987. My buddy let me borrow his '74 Nova for the night. It had a worked 350 with a 4 speed. There was this other friend I knew that had this Plymouth Satellite with a stock 318 and thought it was fast. My buddy never wanted to race him because he said it would be a waste of his time. Anyway,the night I had his car I just so happened to find the Satellite dude!!
I followed him to the road out of town and we both go on it as we made the last corner.
(This was about 1:00am so we had no traffic at all). Well after 2nd gear was finished burning rubber for 50ft,we were about even but it was all over for the Plymouth after that. This was a 3 mile stretch of road and we both kept it hammered. I slowed to the speed limit and he caught up. I punched it again and went some more. (playing at this point). We came to a redlight and saw the police coming behind us lights sirens and all!!
We both got fined for drag racing wich was a $200 fine w/automatic 6 month license suspension and Fleeing and attempting to allude police witch carried a $250 and another 6 month suspension!!
The cops said we were running from them because they were right across the street when we started racing from town and was chasing us as sson as we started!! (Both of us never saw then there!!)
The truth was I was so far ahead within a short time I never did seem them coming.
The cops said they hit 100 and we we both pulling on them. Maybe the other guy saw them at one point but I never did until a slowed down. I fought the fleeing ticket in court and won!!(good lawer). I was honest and said I was racing but did not intend to lose the police and the judge gave me the "Benefit of the doubt" as he said.
All in all I had a $200 fine and only 6 months suspension.
I still have a copy of those fines!!
