I'm sure it's included as a part of their budget. I know where you're going with this, and I'll just say that it's part of public relations, which IS part of police work.

All branches of the military do the same thing. It's on a way bigger scale though. Professional racing teams, athletes things like that. Like Jack said, it's public relations.

WOOOHOOO now thats fun. The only way it could be more fun is if they were Charger's instead of Camaro's.

Now I wonder how many "kids" watched that and thought to themselves "I can do that" I'm sure there were some out there. That makes Jack and his comrades more paperwork but in the end it makes me and my comrades wake up a 3am and go out to cut there immature and stupid buts out of the car they just recked into some innocent person who ends up dead .

What you guys have to go thru and the chances you take on your salary you all deserve a little fun anyways. Was watching a bad drivers show last and man there are some idiots around.

The rubber band is wound as tight as it can get !!!

I saw that bad driver show too ... you ain't kidding about there being a bunch of fools behind the wheel today. Oh yeah, and did you happen to see the one chase involving the 15 y/o kid and his carload of friends on there ?? Hmmmm ... seems to be a trend of knuckleheaditis going on with the younger crowd. hahaha

Oh Lord does that bring back memories. I won a case of Mr. Pibb at the Joey Chitwood Thrill Show in Cape Girardeau Missouri back years and years ago.

Not saying that I'm a good driver but have never been in a wreck yet. Someone must be watching over me I guess. I never really did like going very fast since I started driving (quite a few years ago). I sure am not gonna try what those guys in that video did. Anyone that can control a car like that gets my respect. Maybe some of these bone head drivers should go take a few lessons eh?

If you ever stopped at the Cummins West branch in West Sacramento, you will hear those guys on the track everyday rain or shine practicing, right behind those bleachers is the Cummins shop. you also hear the gun range also night and day. Sometimes if the wind is blowing just right , you also can smell the tires
