State troopers blew the cover off an illegal street race in Northwest Miami-Dade Wednesday night after someone tipped them off.

Florida Highway Patrol Trooper Nelvys Hernandez says more than a thousand cars lined up on Okeechobee Road near Northwest 137th Avenue for the event, some to race, some to watch.

Hernandez said the area was dangerous not only for the racers but also for anyone who comes near them.

"This is a death valley when so many people gather out here," Hernandez said. "It's just horrendous to see so many vehicles coming in and out at a high rate of speed."
 
Oh man he told them wednesday is the hot night!! Cover blown by a spectator!! Lets race swampboats!!
 
Maybe I am old school but when I see a bunch of 4 cyc imports I dont consider it racing, more of a moving car show but not real racing but media thinks these cars are fast and hell my dually will run with some of them. LOL
 
Looked like 1 Mustang (Maybe an '02?) sitting there with their flashers on. You KNOW he got the ticket. It was the only car that could have been "racing".
 
Does it matter if they were Geo Metro's, Honda Civic's, or Lambo's? Fact is they were 'racing' and putting people's lives in danger.
 
how many people could really be in danger of a racing honda civic, they go like 16.0 at 75mph don't they? could race on the expressway and not even break any laws lol
 
They needed to be tipped off that 1000 cars were gathered on what looks like a pretty open piece of road? Did a cop drive by and think it was a new parking lot, only to do a 180 with lights and sirens blaring when dispatch alerts them that it's actually a street race?

So much win in this post. On rep lock down so I guess it goes in the sig...
 
In the meanwhile 20 people were robbed and murdered while the police were tied up with the dangerous street racers.
