I Was Held Hostage Street Racing @ Its Worst!!!
this Saturday night, i got a call my from my friend to bring him a jack to fix his car and to come out to watch some races. i decided against better judgment and pulled up to the street races to park to meet 2 of my friends

As i was trying to park my truck Some drunk ass guy setting the cars off, didn't look, and dropped his hands while i was in the road.
a racing dodge neon srt 4 smashed into my dodge ram 2500 diesel going very fast. i was parking and trying to get in a tight spot.

Then a group of Puerto Ricans told me it was my fault for the street racing dumdumdumdumdum being wrecked and beat me to a pulp till i was bleeding everywhere, and i remember a girl jumping on top of me stopping them from beating me up. I cant remember anything until I woke up in my truck with someone i didn't know driving it telling me that "don't do anything stupid because they WILL kill you and your family" because they have your information. And that It was his brothers Car who hit my truck. and Id better pay for it and not pull any shit or they will kill me.

With one car following from the back they took me to the HESS Gas Station in Disney World, and made me clean up where i mouthed to the cashier to call 911. they did and the cop came, but never came close enough for me to be safe to run over to him and it was to early to get the driver of the neon and the guys holding me hostage.

i kept calling 911 from my cell phone in my back pocket and managed to whisper"hostage" to the 911 operator while they were talking in Spanish from car to car. after that i kept the phone in my pocket so the 911 could listen to everything. they were going to take me somewhere to make sure i wouldn't leave till i payed for the neon and or they got money or collateral from me, and i don't know how bad they were gonna beat me up.

they told me "call your friend bro because after we meet you aint driving your truck home and your going to need a ride because you wont be able to drive"

He told me to tell my friend to come to the "Area" so he could pick me up later, but not the exact spot we were meeting, because it was secret.

I pretended to talk to my friend on the phone but i was with 911 and they didn't know. they kept asking me what vehicle i was in and i would say things like "yeah bro i told you im not driving my black truck im driving my green dodge"

i was told to tell him to come to the "area" so I said where are we and he said 2 street names which i proceeded to tell 911 two street names. They ask "Are You at that location now sir?" and i say "yeah dude" and then we saw an officer and i said on the phone "oh shit there is an Osceola cop he might pull us over I got to go,

then the 911 operator says "WAIT sir, are you in a GREEN TRUCK, and i say, yeah and hang up.

we get followed for a minute then pulled over by that cop, and then out of nowhere:

45 seconds later there is a helicopter and 30 cop cars in front and behind me and a cop is holding a gun to the driver door and screaming at the driver "GET THE DAMN ON THE GROUND NOW" and he is freaking out putting his cellphone and keys on the roof. my door is smashed from the crash somehow and it doesn't open so he climbs through the window and falls to the ground where they hand cuff him and then get me out and take me to the ambulance.

right after, the boys in the neon try calling 911 saying that i backed into him and a bunch of shit. but the cops knew the real story and after i get released from the hospital, i go to the scenes, and identify all of the people involved and the 4 of them get arrested for 3 or 4 felony's each since the Orange county police department was able to find this video on streetfire through a friend of mine:

*note the neon in the pic is just showing significance of the damage.

Id like to thank the Osceola county sheriffs office for saving my ass in this horrible situation that i came into.

Im sure there is someone on here that knows these people and will try and find me. But thats the price I have to pay now for going out to these stupid events, even when i was trying to help someone with there car.

Just more proof of how society is going down the pan...

AND THATS why neons are bad for you!!

Posted by: Midnight Star Aug 14 2008, 05:44 PM

holy crap. I don't think I'd be able to keep my cool like you did in a situation like that

good that you got out alright man. I hate anyone that thinks a Dodge Neon is fast in the first place...

Posted by: MarcusFalden Aug 14 2008, 05:55 PM

Wow that was certainly something I'm here in Miami and I havent heard jack squat about it. Where is Orange county at exactly?

Read about this a few days ago. Just goes to tell you how crazy some people are in this world. Street racing is one thing, but street racing AND kidnapping cus YOU, not them, but you caused the damage, that's just idiotic and crazy. Thank goodness the cops got there on time otherwise the guy might be dead.

He forgot to put the story in a quote tag. It wasn't him. I've fixed the post so it's easier to tell that he was quoting a news story.

Anyway, crazy stuff. Figures. God damn. *sigh*

i just watched the video... goddamn thats crazy. a gun?

Posted by: BNR34NISMO Aug 15 2008, 12:28 AM

its completely the driver of the neons fault for not being able to see what the hell is in front of you. its these retards that give street racing a bad reputation. if its ur fault why not just be a man and accept the consequences. instead of beating up the person who was in ur way. god damn i hate mofos like these ppl. i know accidents to happen in street racing, but damn how could he NOT see a damn truck?

Posted by: Geo Aug 15 2008, 01:25 AM

well i reckon racing should be kept in two ways. legal and games. street racing, no matter how cool it sounds, is really dangerous even if precautions are taken... so, its everyones fault be even being there. IMO btw.

Posted by: BNR34NISMO Aug 15 2008, 03:19 AM

geo has a point, but i grew up arounds cars, so im all for it. but these days (years after FNF), kids are getting stupider and stupider. reason is these days young kids street race while they are not cautious and most important DONT HAVE SKILLS. you need at least a few years of driving experience before street racing not to mention you gotta know cars. ive had friends that are only 18 and start street racing when they didnt know much about cars. that is just stupid. 90% of kids these days that are getting into the tuning/street racing scene dont know the difference between real and games. they watch too much fast n furious and think speeding is cool. im not gonna lie, its an adrenaline rush. ive done it. but you have to know ur limit, as in...ur skills/how well tuned ur car is. my message is to those kids. STICK TO YOUR DAMN GAMES UNTIL YOU ACTUALLY KNOW HOW TO TUNE A CAR/HOW THEY WORK!! cuz ever since stupid ass fast and furious, street racing problems/accident have skyrocketed

Posted by: Geo Aug 15 2008, 03:37 AM

im totally for having a nice car yeh, but to actually race with it and potentially damage it, not worth your money. im only 16, and you might think "oh a young kid just wants to play with big cars with big engines", but take a deeper look at our modern age. is it really our fault for liking cars that sound like theyre going to literally tear up the road. i blame the media. and by media i mean FnF. honestly, these days, some kids in the racing scene cant even control a car at high speeds let alone avoid traffic when necessary. theyre basically only risking their lives for no reason other than to be "cool".

sigh... some people these days... hopefully they could have gotten insurance for that kind of shit, but NO they HAD to kidnap that guy...

Posted by: The J Aug 15 2008, 08:55 AM

You know I see a lot of people blaming FnF for this. Shame on you. That's the same mentality that goes for concerned soccer moms that goes and sees a violent video game and immediately blames her child's sociopathic tendencies on that and heavy metal music. Are you going to be as bad as they are and blame an artform (loosely) in which one sublimates their fantasies rather than people who are so deluded they cannot seperate fiction from reality. Be bigger than that. FnF and the media may portray a thing- a commercial may make you want a car; a movie may make you want to race.

But if we watched every revenge fantasy movie and DIDN'T want to kill people, I'd say the movie wasn't very effective. Just because you watch Death Wish in which Charles Bronson kill 50 gang members with few reprecussions or a Batman movie doesn't mean you go out and become a vigilante.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. In the end, we cannot defend ourselves from stupidity, whether our own or others no matter how hard we try. The best one can do is show people what happens when you're stupid and let the people who do the act take responsibility rather than blaming the media. The media's slanted, yes. But don't use it as a crutch. It makes you look pathetic and weak. I have little respect for it. You people are bigger than this. Don't be as stupid as the soccer mom blaming Mortal Kombat because her child is an idiot.

oh whoops my bad.

Wow dude. Thank goodness you're alright. I would have been really scared if I was in your position. I'm also glad those people got caught. Races are cool, but the people involved in them are not. Oh and I totally agree with The J.

madness i say! pure madness!

Posted by: Scuba Steve Sep 1 2008, 08:07 PM

Holy crap man, poor guy glad i left that scene years ago. Ive seen bad accidents since the racing was done when i used to live with my parents. I remember a kid killed his GF after losing control and running into the wrong side of the road and ramming head on into a intrepid i didnt see the accident but i did see the girl dead in the middle of the road.
