Drags on the pacific motorway... for a change

[BANKS]

Two men have been arrested after they were allegedly caught drag racing on the Pacific Motorway while two other cars formed a blockade to slow traffic.

Police allege the four-vehicle convey slowed northbound traffic on the motorway to 40km/h from Logan at about 8.30pm before the two front cars started racing.

A female police officer was one of the motorists caught in the congested traffic and she pursued the racing drivers.

The officer intercepted the vehicles at Tarragindi and arrested a 19-year-old Ormeau man and a 23-year-old Beenleigh man.

Both were charged with street racing and speeding and will appear in Holland Park Magistrates Court on May 29.

Their vehicles, a Nissan 200SX and a Mazda 3 sedan, were seized and impounded. The two cars involved in the rolling blockade were not caught.

I remember when this used to happen every friday night about 5 years ago. they would do a rolling blockade, except the racers would do 300kph. They stopped it pretty quickly thou, only happened for a few weeks. Does this sort of stuff happen anywhere else?

that is a tough one.... probably what they were driving, because i dont think many mazda 3's could outrun a cop car on a highway/motorway...

Don't they only run 14's? VE SS/XR6T would catch them no prob.

[CANYONERO]

gotta admit MPS' are quick, but on reasonably straight road from a rolling start, it would be hard to outrun a 6T or 6.0

What were the cars that 'used' to race on there to make 300k's?


I'm sure a VE HSV would barely manage that now.

Aren't the VE HSV's limited to 250 km/h?

but if it could, and no one was there to witness it, did it actually happen?

Why would they have to outrun a bullet?

[pow3rslave]

radio waves do travel faster than a bullet, yeah.
