Two 25-year-old drivers allegedly turned a Porsche 911 and an Audi R8 into a street-racing pair in University Place, Washington, with dashcam data showing one car reaching 107 mph in a 35-mph zone, according to the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies did not pursue the vehicles at high speed. Instead, authorities later located both cars and arrested the drivers, avoiding a potentially dangerous chase involving two high-performance vehicles traveling far beyond the posted limit.
Dashcam footage documented the alleged race
Investigators obtained a warrant for footage from inside the Porsche. The recording included time and GPS-based speed information, along with multiple views of the incident. According to the available camera data, both vehicles traveled at triple-digit speeds during the alleged race.
The footage provided more than a brief roadside observation of the cars passing at high speed. It documented the vehicles’ movements and the speed indicated by the Porsche’s system, supporting the allegations of reckless driving and street racing.
Both vehicles were impounded
Both drivers were arrested on allegations of reckless driving and street racing. The Porsche and Audi were impounded under 72-hour holds.
The Pierce County Sheriff’s Office had not announced the official charges for either driver at the time of the report. Potential consequences could include fines or jail time, although the source does not specify what penalties will ultimately be pursued.
The arrests allowed deputies to take action without initiating a pursuit at speeds that could have placed other motorists, pedestrians, and officers at additional risk. The vehicles’ temporary impoundment was an immediate consequence, while the eventual legal and financial impact remains unresolved pending the charging decisions.
