    Default Street Racers

    So...tonight was my second run in with a mess of guys shutting down I25 in the Northglenn area. Had at least 5 cut me off at extreme excessive speeds within inches. Called 911 and took the exit at highway 7. Oddly there was a huge line of cars also taking that exit. Spotted somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 cars parked in the lots right off that exit. Pulled in and waited for the Northglenn police to show. Spoke with an officer about it when he got done talking with the people who organized the event. The officer was more interested with being friends with the racers than actually stopping them from trying to kill people on the highway. He flat out told me that he would not take any action against any of them and that it didn't matter that I had dash cam video that could identify them.

    Westminster, Northglenn, and Thornton has too many of those. That 120th RTD park and ride is their meeting places. Dangerous+Loud+annoying+stupid kids.

    The correct procedure is call *CSP (*277). You will be connected directly to Colorado State Patrol.

    What the hell?

    I would be on the phone with Northglen PD leadership at 8 am tomorrow having a one-way conversation about their operations.

    I have experienced enough of these ass hat racers that my care factor for everyone of them pulling a Paul Walker would be zero.

    I can't begin to tell you how many times I've wished I had spike strips for these jackwagons. I live backing up to Colorado Blvd, just inside the beltway where Colorado turns into a 2 lane road. They come down the hill (northbound) where it's 4 lane, converging into 2, and pass my house at ungodly speeds as loud as possible.
    Please leave any relevant feedback here:

    I saw on channel 7 there was an app "report illegal colorado street racing" that goes to the state patrol. I have a bunch of loud,heavily tinted,speeders in my neighborhood that I'm sure are part of this problem. I've called Westminster PD several times with an almost indifferent response. You can hear them all day and into the night up here along 136th and Huron.

    A large part of the issue is even with the dash cam they can’t prove who was driving.
    When my car was stolen the police pulled it over and didn’t arrest the people in it even the one driving because the people said a mechanic let them borrow it while their car was being worked on.
    which was bull shit because I found all sorts of things that pointed to the person driving it as part of the group of people that stole it
    You sir, are a specialist in the art of discovering a welcoming outcome of a particular situation....not a mechanic.

    My feedback add 11-12 ish before the great servpocaylpse of 2012

    Same down south on 25 and even side streets in aurora. My street turns into the autobahn about 9pm. Not only cars but we have atv's DB and little pit bikes doing it as well. Couple nights ago a dude on a pit bike got nailed by an suv and in speaking with the cop he told me and a neighbor that when they try to pull them over the perps just rum knowing that apd can't chase them.
