Oklahoma is the place to find one....the street racing scene is outrageous there.

Yes it is, and don't forget Street Outlaws with the 405.

Street outlaws on Discovery TV does not count.

Not sure about that. Prior to the show and now racing in a controlled environment, these guys were avid Street Outlaws for years on the streets in and around OKC.

Looking at it for what it is, these guys are truely dedicated to their sport. Not to mention the cash they spend on their cars, equipment etc., some might be $150-200K plus?

The 208 MPH Mustang Drive's mug shot is hitting the interwebs, but I'm waiting for someone to do a story on the Mustang and it's mods. The story reports that he tried to evade by turning off headlights and his brake lights. How does one turn off the brake lights?

302 Hi Pro
 
208 + Street = Stupid...lucky somebody didn't get killed. Kid should have hit the 1/4 or 1/2 mile drag strip to show off.

I cant even imagine the lawyer fees and fines. Can't image the insurance company is too happy either :p

302 Hi Pro
The illuminated brake light kill toggel is next to the one to kill the tail lights, at least in a 1985 Mustang GT.

Hmmm.............Canadian County Jail , Oklahoma. Officers in the State were confused due to their county name and purchased all their radar guns from a Canadian Discount House, thinking they were buying local. Yep, you guessed it , all the guns read in Kilometers and kid was only going about 126 mph. Still got him in a bit of hot water as their Cheveee Police cars only do about 110.

Lol. I am going to bet that a good lawyer could then make the argument that they were not properly calibrated, or could not have been calibrated since purchased, and get the speeding violation tossed. But there is still the evading charge.
