Default Professional street drags on Eastern Fwy, VIC!!!!

a few weeks ago i was cruising home via the eastern freeway from the city. right in front of me, there was a string of hotted up rice burner cars blocking every lane, driving at about 40-60km/hr, slowing all of us up, so they could run their drags.

i could see the cars dragging down the freeway. i got ****ed off, as i HATE driving under the speed limit, so i dropped the GT back into 3rd and went ripping past the rolling road block of cars.

i then set the cruise control on 100 and kept cruising. a few mins later, there was an unmarked black cop car waiting for the rolling road block, and had already pulled over the racers.

my heart jumped a bit, worried they would mistake me for one of them, but the cop let me go past. He must have known exactly who he was after...

I wasnt aware this sort of street drags happens around that area!!
