Indiana State Police Targeting Indianapolis Street Racing Events, Dozens Arrested

Once that rubber washes off, I'm pretty sure those strip will be there. Take the painted lines on a race track. That paint in my places gets some serious abuse and still is there. You cant compare nascar because those guys are anal about everything looking perfect for tv.

Wearing off takes a LONG time. In the mean time, the parking lot looks like crap with various lines covered over. None of which was the fault of the property owners.

It's not valid to compare donuts in a parking lot to yard jobs.

I would bet the main reason the store owner wants it stopped is because he knows with a certainty that if someone get seriously injured or killed while doing it on his property, he would be sued for millions of dollars. It's easier to just avoid that headache.

I did a yard job when I was a teenager. 4x4 in low with off road tires can wreak havoc on a lawn.

Afterwards, I felt bad for the guy that owned the lawn. It wasn't really his fault his daughter was such a *****.

I did get to learn quite a bit about landscaping that year. *****'s dad was a great guy. His piece of advice, "If I were you I would stay the hell away from that girl..I love her because she's my daughter, but she is nothing but trouble".

Years have gone by...it's clear he knew his daughter well!

You mean this one?

Not that one, I have had a few, had another, kosman swing arm,pro stock body....

[Cameramonkey]

And your saying stuff that i never said.

Yes. Yes you did.

 

[gassprint1]

Yes. Yes you did.

No, i said eventually and you said with 1 good rain. Huge difference

[Ingomike]

Need the progressive reply flag…

 

[Cameramonkey]

No, i said eventually and you said with 1 good rain. Huge difference

that stuff doesnt come off "eventually". Its got to be scrubbed or power washed. Or painted over.

Regardless, its still property damage. Its not as harmless as you seem to think it is.

Ummm....

Well I mean he didn’t use those exact words so it doesn’t count

 

[bobzilla]

With these NEGATIVE comments i am getting for my earliest comment....
I guarantee that everyone of you did burnouts of sorts when either you got your license and were with friends or showing off AND it was on public roads or private property of a parking lots. If you say you didn't, then ..(you fill in the blank)

82 hp fwd ford tempo that would pop a passenger axle if you thought about a clutch dump. Moved on to an 89 9c1. Ask any of our…. “Experienced” officers how many burnouts that 4000lb 195hp car with lsd would do. Handled well for sure. Stopped on a dime. Was not a racecar.

I did do a smoky burnout in front of my own house in the middle of bfe and lit the road on fire from an open diff pickup. The. I went out, put the fire out and scooped the road back into place. The 3 hours I spent cleaning rubber off the tailpipe and bed side was enough for me.

Some say you cannot fix stupid, but I beg to differ.

 

[gassprint1]

Is that the real meaning of body damage??

 

[TheGrumpyGuy]

I totally get it now! It's like a giant pinball machine and your car is the flipper!

 

[actaeon277]

So, if a .308 goes into their engine block, is that 'just a little property damage'?

It’ll wear off eventually.

It’ll wear off eventually.

A little soap and water.

I know if I lived in the 34th Street and Lafayette Road area I wouldn't want to be get woken up to this ****. Then again, I'm sure this activity takes place early so they can get ready to go to work the following day.

Police said these events are held without proper permits, and once the cars leave the events, they are likely to race one another on the streets.

"People getting hit, people falling out of cars, cars crashing into each other, and that's just what's happening in these parking lots," Perrine said.

But that's not typically where these gatherings end.

"You have all of these fast cars in one location. It leads to illegal street racing," Perrine said. "Then, we're seeing those high-speed crashes that are affecting other families and other members of the community."
