Computer enhanced, this video should yield some very clear license plate numbers for the CHP. Not much they can do as they didn't witness it, I guess. Too bad.

Pretty funny. I'd be annoyed because of traffic but if I was up front and in no rush, I'd enjoy the show.

The grey Foxbody at the begining of the video took out the speed limit sign, I did not see that car after that either, must have been some significant damage to it

They are idiots, but actually they are pretty good. Odds are these guys can be found at the drifing event every Wednesday night at Sonoma Raceway.

Apparently the police are looking for these guys now. Wonder if they'll get caught.

This is what our society has come too now, and exactly what we tolerate! These idiots aren't good drivers, they are a bunch of fools that are out of control, recklessly operating there vehicles and putting innocent people in danger. But hey it’s California so we will tolerate it just like we tolerate every other ill-moral intrusive and behavior.

It's sad they feel they need to do this on a public roadway. There are plenty of places and events where they do this legally and safely.

Channel 7 News actually came by my shop and got a tip that said we may have supplied the culprits with parts or services and asked if we knew them. Crazy that just because some one said we may have supplied the idiots with parts or services that we were suspected of some how being involved.... I have NO IDEA who those people involved were. Here's a video of a portion of my interview which aired on Channel 7 tonight.
