I'll race. Where do you want this to take place? It has to be a safe place..(no police)
Lets do it, we were doing it at the northern end of Seaford Oyster Bay Expressway RT 135. This was supposed to be extended to a bridge that was going to be built over the sound to Connecticut, so there is actually a dead end. We get onto the entrance and then immediatly backup. You have a clear run until the Long Island Expressway before any cars can get in the way. We can drive it once at 55 mph to see if any cops are anywhere, then run. Mon and Tues are supposed to be snow/showers.
Now that I don't have to worry about looking like a wack-job in front of the other guy, we can go all out. Other members, video, maybe CNN like OJ (ha ha). What do you think?

Bring a friend or two as well. More lookouts won't hurt while you take video.

Good luck guys and be safe!!

Thats in my backyard...keep in mind that some cops like to take their donuts and coffee to that "dead end" and scope out for criminals ...Post the day and time, and I can be there w/ a video camera.
