Challenger, 'Vette Drivers Don't Notice Cop AsternJacksonville Sheriff's Office / FacebookStreet racing is not a great idea. It's dangerous, illegal, and puts everyone else on the road at risk. On top of all that, you never know if that random SUV behind you is being driven by a police officer just waiting for you to do something stupid. That's something the drivers of a Chevrolet Corvette and a Dodge Challenger in Jacksonville, Florida, just found out the hard way.According to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, Officer Ernesto Valerio of the Specialized Traffic Enforcement Unit was directly behind the Corvette and the Challenger in an unmarked SUV on the night of Friday, August 14. The officer was on patrol looking for specifically for street racers and super speeders. He apparently didn't have to look very hard.The department's dashcam footage released to Facebook shows the gray Dodge and the red Chevy pacing each other on what police say is the Buckman Bridge. The officer seems suspicious from the jump, as he can be heard saying "Look at these guys blocking everything." Then the Corvette driver sticks their arm out the window and gives the Challenger driver an apparent countdown, before both cars hit the gas."Oh, and they're racing now. Right in front of me," says Officer Valerio. The cars allegedly reach speeds of over 120 miles per hour. Fast, but not fast enough to get away from the police. The officer eventually caught up with the Challenger, where he reportedly found 22-year-old Quashay Frazier Jr. behind the wheel; he was arrested on charges of super speeding and street racing.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe Jacksonville Sheriff's Office did not identify the driver of the C6-gen Corvette in its initial social media post, or say whether that person was subsequently arrested. Even if they weren't, the Challenger driver isn't alone in being stopped by the law; police say the arrest was part of Operation Double Down, a Jacksonville Sheriff's Office enforcement effort targeting street racing and what Florida law calls "super speeding" (going 50 mph or more over the limit, or driving 100 mph or more in an unsafe manner). Authorities said eight arrests were made on Friday and Saturday as part of the operation.Street racing a Corvette against a Challenger on a public bridge would already be an exceptionally bad decision; doing with a police officer directly behind you makes it considerably worse. Take the Corvette-versus-Challenger grudge match to a drag strip, where you won't have to worry about checking your mirrors for fear of being arrested.You Might Also LikeIf You Can Only Own One Car, Make It One of TheseThese Are the Most Popular Cars by State
