LIBERTY, N.Y. — More than 100 high-performance cars including Porches, Corvettes, Vipers and BMWs were pulled over by troopers as drivers in a 117-mile road rally roared toward a private track in Monticello.

Sgt. Raymond Walter of State Police in Liberty says the cars were stopped by seven troopers and three sheriff's deputies around 11:30 a.m. Sunday on Route 17 in Sullivan County. Troopers had been alerted by 911 callers saying a group of race cars was speeding at more than 100 mph. More than 30 tickets were issued.

The drivers were part of Turkey Run 2010, a charity event sponsored by Exotics Rally, Inc. The group's website says more than 250 participants paid $100 each to drive from Syosset, Long Island to the Monticello Motor Club, a private track and country club.

Glad to see they got jacked, that shit is retarded.

 It's all fun and games until you crash & involve bystanders,  while tooling around @ 120 in your Lambo & matching scarf.  This is retarded, especially considering that they were on their way to an actual track, where driving like a douche is expected and legal.

the roads in that area are ok, fun wise, but the road surface itself is horrible.  Glad they got pulled over, it'll lighten our tax burden, perhaps.

Gee.  What a good idea, speed on the WAY to a racetrack, thus making the point of going to a racetrack completely moot.

I envision a pack of wealthy douchebags whose idea of "performance" is making sure their wheels match their interior.

It's all fun and games until you kill a family.

 Yeah, this is my last "preachy" statement here:  Once you have a few friends die in car crashes, you start to grow up out there on the road....or at least you should.
