After a close race, the adrenaline can also be messing with the head.

thanks Doc. Actually think there is something to that.

to the poster above condemning street racing...I don't disagree. I drive 40 minutes up the freeway to work everyday, in light to moderate traffic, because it is going against the rush hour direction. I almost always put it on cruise in the 75-77 range. I hold it there when I see police, and they have no problem with it. But at 75 in a 70 MPH zone, I am a nuisance. The average speed is around 90, with many cars flying by well over 100. They zip in and out of what traffic there is regardless of road conditions. They cut as close to your back bumper as they can, and cut in front off you as close as they can. When two of them get near each other, they turn it into their personal road rally. These are the ones whose cars should be impounded and destoyed.
They pose way more danger than two drivers, with no traffic around, cruising next to each other, who acknowledge each other, and do a quick 5-7second sprint up to 110 or so. Yes..they are racing, but pose way less danger than those dozens of idiots who drive like that EVERY day. I see them..every single day. I stay the hell out of their way too. my two cents..
