Accord vs. Tanker
http://www.2theadvocate.com/news/lat...?showAll=y&c=y
SLIDELL Police cited the driver of an 18-wheel-gas-tanker truck on drag racing, Slidell Police reported Wednesday.
They also cited the driver of a 1995 red Honda Accord on drag racing after clocking the two vehicles going more than 80 mph on Old Spanish Trail Tuesday night, according to a police press release.
A detective began chasing the vehicles after the truck, which was followed by the Honda, turned from Pontchartrain Drive onto Third Street at a very high rate of speed, according to the release.
The drivers said they raced after talking about how fast their vehicles could go, the release said.
Craig Smith, 33, of Kenner, said the gas trailer was empty, according to police.
Police cited Smith, 33, and Brandon Tanks, 19, of Slidell, on drag racing which carries a penalty of up to 30 days in jail or a fine of up to $175, the release said.
Capt. Kevin Foltz said the tank truck was in the lead when the detective stopped the vehicles.

LMAO! That is a funny story. When I saw this title of the thread, I was thinking Accord VS. Tanker in an accident, and expecting to see a pic of a very smashed accord. I was NOT expecting to hear that an Accord was beat in a race by a semi! :P
