Dude, they didn't get a "tip", it was obvious. Some one has been running their mouth? Everyone has been running their mouth. Honnestly how hard is is to follow these guys around? As BrickTop once said; "It's not as though he's incon'fucking'spicous, now is it?"
The people that were caught were victims of their own hubris. They're fortunate that "victim of their rown hubris" means getting arrested, and not sleepy trucker running up their stationary ass at 70mph. That puts entirely too much faith the the abilities of Ohio Drivers late at night.
I'm not saying I'm glad they got caught, and I'm not really trying to salt any wounds, but for the love of god, what the hell did you expect? You were digging on a stretch of 71 that everyone knows to be a speed trap anyways. Nevermind racing, I don't even speed through Deleware County... and I speed everywhere.
I DO hope that this brings to an end the most retarded form of organized street racing that has ever existed; The Interstate Dig.
Fortunately, this will probably be very hard to prosecute. The police and and the news have what they wanted anyways, a headline involving a big bust of fast cars.
Does anyone think it was a coincidence that a news agency was right on top of things in the middle of the night?
