Ranch Club Back Gate Drag Racing

[scupper trout]

I continually hear and witness people screeching tires, blowing through stop signs and driving wrecklessly near the Ranch Club Back gate. This goes on at all hours of the day. It won't be so bad if not for the amount of traffic that goes through there.

I'm afraid that someday someone is going to be really seriously injured or kill themselves, or worse, someone else. I bet if a police vehicle parked near there after dark they would make the "qouta" in one night.

I hate to sound like a whiner but it's getting bad.

Peace.

On Little Cove Point Rd???
I used to live at the end of that street and I know what you mean..I once had a Mustang barely miss hitting me and my mailbox one afternoon. I don' know if the screaching came from LCP Rd. or the street behind me or what.. Those are all terribly winding and hilly roads. You'd have to be nuts to speed on them...

I hate that idiots ruin an old slightly evil pasttime.

Kids from my old school (leonardtown) used to gather nightly in parking lots and race... Target was the perfered one.... Every now and then you would hear of someone hitting a lamp post or something... From light-to-light infront of the wildewood center is a popular spot... Because that is exactly a 1/4 mile (the length of a drag strip)

I like racing, but when it comes to street racing if someone challenges me at a light ill let them floor it, waste their money on gas and look like a moron (then again my 17second 1/4 mile isnt that quick)... At school if people talked about it i would ask for proof of their cars 1/4 time, if they couldnt provide i would maintain that mine is quicker and i can PROVE it with paper work :P


We have a drag strip that isnt far away, its cheap to race, legal and fair all the time... There is no reason these morons should be doing it on the road... And some of the cars the choose to do it in too (a neon!!! maybe an SRT-4 but i like to assume its like most kids in my highschool)

and FYI, most 'mature car communities' on the internet that have stuff about performance want to have public executions for these people... They give young drivers a bad name, endanger other and give the legal racing community a bad name...

Judging by your avatar, I am assuming that "mature car communites" drive $40k sedans with $6k rims.

What you meant to say is, a lot of communities have anti-street racing members...but it's almost hypocritical to say that noone who drives a sports car never gets on the gas once in a while to show off.

I use that gate all the time. Not saying it doesn't occasionally happen, but you've highly over exaggerated yourself.
