Thanksgiving Corvette Drag Race Crash Drivers Get Arrest Warrants

This year’s Thanksgiving was accessorized with a giving and receiving between two Corvettes that were drag raced by idiotic drivers in the suburb of The Woodlands and now it seems that the Police is planning to teach the two a lesson.
As you can see in the adjacent video, we have a silver C6 on the left and a silver C5 on the right, with the two cars running a little drag race when the lights turn green. Both drivers prove that they don’t deserve to drive Corvettes: the one on the left can’t manage to keep the car in a straight line, starts swinging violently from one side to another and eventually hits the guy on the left, which, instead of pulling away, stepped on the brakes.

According to an LS1GTO forum member that claims to be the first police man to arrive at the scene of the crash (via Jalopnik), the police has prepared a solid case against the two.

They both tried to tell me they weren't racing. The C5 claimed to be pushing 600rwhp... He claimed he dumped the clutch and thats why he lost control. Lol.

Well, the driver on the left was 23 and called his parents immediately. As soon as we placed him in cuffs his mom started screaming to go to the hospital. So we sent him to the hospital and decided to cut the other guy loose due to the kid not going to jail. Warrants are being issued for both of their arrests now.
[...]
We recieved [sic] a 911 call (from a witness) saying that a major accident just accused and the other corvette was attempting to leave the scene. And the other vette wasn't drivable. Due to it being a major accident, we have to investigate.


So, it seems that the C6 driver is a mama’s boy, while, according to LS1TECH, the driver on the right is Brian Hebert, a parts scammer. If this is true, then we have another argument for them not deserving to drive Corvettes.

PS: people. stop being idiots behind the wheel of 'Vettes, you'll give this car an undeserved bad reputation!
