Seize this little shit's car, liquidate it, and apply that money to her medical bills.

Why do I get the feeling that won't happen?

That strip from Cummings to Walk Hill is too tempting for too many -- straight and wide.

I remember when I used to walk to the Flaherty pool before 6 a.m. seeing folk booking north at 60 more higher, running red lights. When take-no-crap cop Ernie is out, he invariably pulls dozens in a short time. Of course, he is famous for even ticketing the little old ladies who ignore the 25 and 30 MPH zones there.

I bike and walk as well as drive that part of HP Ave. Plus my wife and two youngest are also at home and at risk. I'm for enforcement.Do it, Ernie.

Boston Police provide some details of what allegedly happened after the drivers of a red Honda and a black Acura revved their engines at Hyde Park Avenue and Walk Hill Street around 7:30 last night:

When the traffic light turned green, both vehicles accelerated at a high rate of speed. An officer nearby observed the two vehicles and immediately broadcast a description of the cars and their direction of travel.

In short time, one of the motor vehicles, the red Honda, struck a pedestrian in the area of Hyde Park Avenue and Eldridge Road in Jamaica Plain. The victim, a 65 year-old Hispanic female, was transported to the Brigham & Women’s Hospital with serious, but, non-life threatening injuries. Upon striking the pedestrian, the operator of the red Honda continued traveling down Hyde Park Avenue.

Police caught up with the Honda at Blakemore Street, where they arrested Kenneth Mauras, 17, of Roslindale on a whole boatload of charges.

The driver of the black Acura Integra with tinted windows remains at large, but if you see one, call the CrimeStoppers Tip Line at 1(800) 494-TIPS or text the word 'TIP' to CRIME (27463).

For what its worth Emporium, which serves as sort of pit area for these guys has been seeking to stay open 24 hours. Not sure if that would help or hurt the racing situation.

I used to drive a '93 Honda Civic. Haven't for about four years now, but around 2000 or so, if I was driving around Boston late at night, I'd constantly be challenged for races by other Civic drivers. They'd pull up behind me on the Pike at 3:00 am between the Pru tunnel and Allston-Brighton tolls and flash their brights, which meant "Hey man, let's race." I only found this out the second or third time it happened to me, after I wondered aloud why someone was coming up behind me at night and hollering at me for going too slowly on an otherwise empty stretch of road.

So I learned to respond by stepping slightly on my brakes which meant "Dude, pull around and see the busted side light and crappy tires and the dent on the roof where a tree limb fell on the car several years ago which I never could hammer out all the way THIS AIN'T EXACTLY IN TIP-TOP RACING SHAPE, OK?"

Eventually the car was rendered inoperable by kids who managed to crack the hood while it was parked, steal ages-old ignition wires and bust up the distributor cap while trying to nick it as well. Little punks. Shame such bad things had to happen to such a nice car.

Truman Parkway has the same problem. Even worse, since it is a State road in a city neighborhood, the Staties(Hillside Barracks) want nothing to do with it. I speed-dial them regularly to report drag racing and you want to know what they ask? "Did you get the license plate number?"
Traffic stops are typically on a Friday morning at 10am.
