A rather uneventful evening on I29 with the local sheriffs.

How do you mean? I'd much rather race from a dig, I have close to, if not more than, 300 ft/lbs of torque and 265's on the back.why do people seem to think its ALL about hp/torque? You can have all the torque in the world but if you weigh 2342353462456236 LB you aint going anywhere too soon.

Highway pulls are races from a roll, usually about 40 mph, up to a certain speed like 100. FWD ricers like this kind of racing because it help negate the fact they have no torque for the hole shot.What about the FWD ricer cars that have way too much power and would just spin through most of the gears if they started from a dig...

now that it seems that you are being serious about this matter..... im going to ask you this...why? why would it be a good idea to run from the cops? what is the skewed reasoning behind your logic.... please explain...

Be careful, you dont want to lose another tranny.The junkyard one isnt going to last too much longer, good thing I have a built one waiting for a few more parts. I'm just saying that I have had a lot less hondas wanting to race me when the light turns green, most wait until we get up to 25 then want to race. For the record Brian weight transfer>AWD, otherwise there would be a lot more AWD drag cars eh?
Back on topic running from the cops = horrible idea. Not pulling over when he's not right behind YOU, genius. Think about it, if the guy in the back is smart he starts to pull over, noone else does. Does the officer go around him to pull over the next guy or just pull in behind car #1. If he does go for car #2, car #1 can continue about his business. There is a weakness, most cop cars have a loudspeaker, and he could instruct car #1 to stay put then move one to car #2 and so on and so forth. I have gotten away this way once or twice. When I'm on road trips I like to find another car(s) that are moving a little fast and just match them. If you find a fast moving big rig, not likely with fuel prices so high right now, you are golden the cop won't even look at you he's going for the truck every time.

When I was a kid coming back from a concert in Ohio, we ran, and pulled it off.
The older you get, the less sense it makes to run, as the penalty to you from getting caught running way exceeds the penalty from getting caught doing whatever else you were doing.
A guy in his 30s that runs is going to go to jail or lose his license or whatever and fuck himself and his family pretty well for some number of months. That's assuming that the officer doesn't kill someone in a "chase". Any damage a cop does during a chase gets "billed" to the guy running. You or a cop manage to kill someone during a high speed chase and its pretty much game over for you.
A 16 year old can probably run, get caught, and shake it off in a year or two.
For basic speeding stuff, its always cheaper and easier to just hire a lawyer to make the ticket go away. The points schedules in ND are such that for just around-town speeding you don't even need to fight the tickets... 2pts or fewer are non-reportable to your insurer, and the tickets are so cheap that it's easiest to just pay them. If it's a >2pt infraction I'd fight it to get it reduced or dismissed to something that isn't a reportable moving violation. Insurance is where you get fucked on tickets.
It's also worth pointing out that generally, if you can't see a cop before he sees you, your situational awareness is too low to really be egregiously speeding. The times I've been ticketed in town all involved me not paying enough attention to what was going on around me.

You really are a dumbass.
Not everyone drives like a dipshit. Some of us don't feel the need to race every car down 13th.

For once I agree with you thrash. Well said.
