Tampa Bay Times
At about 2 a.m. on Friday, a man driving across the Courtney Campbell Causeway revved his engine and tried to bait a fellow motorist into racing him.
Unbeknownst to the man with a need for speed, the driver he was trying to bait was a Clearwater police officer.
The officer pulled over Connor Michael Proleika, 20, of Tampa, and arrested him on a charge of racing on a highway, which is a misdemeanor. Worse for Proleika, the arrest resulted in him violating probation on previous charges of grand theft and possession of a controlled substance, which are felonies. More

Natural selection in action
Haha, I did the same thing in 1969, minus the ‘cop’ being a challenger.
I wanted to put my ’59 352 up against an Olds 442.
I lost, (big time), and was forever humbled.
We were both cited but admittedly….the cops had to go much farther to catch the Olds then they did to catch me.
“Bankrobbery? Why that’s babysh*t compared to what this Clown did!”
Went gocarting with friends when I was 18, on the way home we were racing at every red light. We yelled out the window “on your mark get set go” we all took off, unbeknownst to us there was two motorcycle cops sitting on that corner so they directly pulled us over and gave us each a ticket all three of us, oddly they seem to be laughing at us. I was driving a Gremlin with a straight 6, mom’s car. How in the world did I live through youth?
Street racing in Houston is now a
felony.Don’t get caught.
@jellybean: I had something similar happen in 1972 against a Sting Ray. The Corvette had me by about a car length when the cop came up behind us. Cop chased the vette and I made a u-turn. Poor bastard.
Need for speed…double entendre. That mugshot screams meth head.
Can’t imagine his wunderlust for speed is gonna be satisfied in a 10 x 12 space.
What, no video?
Bummer…
Like my mama always said “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know which one’s a cop.”
WTF?
Nazis and Commies all love wars, debt, and tyranny.
What’s the difference?
