they have known for years.. What surprises me is that no one does what the highway guys would do back in the day..

Have a car roll up ahead... and one rolling way behind and spot...
Obviously.. i dont remember the last time i raced on the street.. that shit is illegal .. so this is all just hypothetic

It's all a game of Odds..
X miles of freeway... if you have some one ahead and behind, it does not eliminate your chance of getting caught but it reduces it.
The problem comes in when 3 cars go to race and 20 slow POF's go to follow and watch.... then you have a cluster fuck.

I know when the Old school highway guys would go out.. you could make 3 laps of the toll way and not pass another soul.

Well you got dumbass kids these days that are spoiled by 400 hp mustangs so they want to race before they think. When I did my street racing over 10 years ago I rarely got caught actually racing, but when I did get caught I got tickets for spectating a illegal racing event.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

In Oklahoma the odds of not getting caught are in our favor. LOL
