Cops at Cruise Night
1. I posted this in "general rodding tech". Don't ask why. Have a moderator remove it please, since this is an updated versionin the proper place.
2. This place is kinda out in the boonies a little, the itty bitty town of Dorr, Michigan.
3. The local fire department had a fund raiser there with firemen, a couple of trucks, etc. and they had no problem with "tire durability testing" going on.
One time I was at the local cruise night, (on a good night A LOT of muscle/classic/rods ; 2 football field size fields full) and when they leave, alot of them like to light 'em up
. Well one night (just after school started) one guy got pulled over for it. I thank God for they guy in the fox-mustang who just lit 'em up real good (lotsa smoke) leaving the other way when that cop was after the late model f-body, and all others with a bit of rebel in them. Most people are respectable and know their limits; they let up when the back end kicks out, some guy in a diesel leaves some idiots on the edge of the road blocking the rodder's view of oncoming traffic in a big cloud of diesel smoke (haha suckers! Those kids should be banned for safety purposes and for blocking the views of more respectable fellow rodders)
They should've pulled over this one guy with a big late 80s/early 90s ford on big mud tires with "balls" hanging from the diff. He leaves and spins 'em (no smoke and the mufflers sound sucky), turns around and does it again prolly 3 or 4 times about 30 seconds each time. That's when it gets obnoxious. Or the import geeks that stop in the middle of the road and get 1 tire to chirp. Then there's 2 "low-and bling ding with my chicken wing rollin on duhhhs
imp:" cars that left the place scraping up the road with lotsa sparks (fire hazard).
Note that this is out in the country, on a rural road. It'd be a lot different if it was the suburbs. There's a few houses across the road, and a pharmacy and pizza place kitty corner. And a cemetary next door.
-any "bad cops" crash a cruise night for anyone?

p.s. one last note: those idiots that were standing on the edge of the road (inches from it) blocking the vision of the guys leaving and us more respectable spectators, one of them has a Ford Excursion. White, fully loaded, ricer taillights (yucky), nice wheels and ~33inch off road tires, duals, sounded like the v10,and the guy tried 3 or 4 times to get them to spin and not even a chirp was heard. I haven't seen that barge back since. He should've done it like 2 young people there. One kid has a blue '69-72 ish Nova that's nice and clean, another has a Chevelle that is kinda rusty aong the bottom, and there's a 75 Camaro that's real clean with built 350 (roller cam, Dart heads, etc.) for $5500. That shows ya the stupidity of people that stand on the edge of the road.
