Brady Texas Now Has An Auto Race Track
The race track is actually North Graham Street between Crothers Street and South Street in the northwest section of Brady Texas.
Various types of automobiles regularly race down this road at speeds clearly in excess of 40 MPH at all hours of the day and night completely disregarding the numerous children and pedestrians in the area. There is an elementary school, an after school child care facility, and a a church all very near this unofficial race track. The speed limit is 30 MPH and SHOULD be 20 MPH due to all the children
in the area which the many dangerous and reckless drivers speeding up and down North Graham Street clearly do not care about at all.
To make matters worse, Lake Graham appears in the 1500 Block of North Graham Street every time it rains, (which has been quite often the past few months), creating a large temporary pond in the middle of North Graham Street which these dangerous speeding drivers hydroplane through at high speed – one of these idiot drivers is going to lose control at Lake Graham and collide with a house, parked car,
or possibly even a small child.
Brady Texas Police have been informed of this problem on numerous times over the past year but there has been absolutely no increase in police patrols or speed enforcement on this unofficial race track. Somebody is going to get seriously injured or killed on the North Graham Street Race Track if the City Of Brady, particularly the Brady Police, don’t immediately start taking steps to end this major speeding problem.
Local law enforcement cannot be in the area 24 / 7, but they could make appearances slightly more frequently. It really would not take much effort on the part of police to stop and ticket a few of these very dangerous drivers and even a small show of force by the police would probably be effective as word gets around fast in a small town like Brady. An even more effective and long term solution to this problem would be to install at least one four way stop at one of the intersections about half way along North Graham between Crothers and South Street and then have police monitor the new stop signs for a few days. This would force these idiotic homicidal speeders to slow down,
at least once, while traveling down this residential street heavily populated by small children.

Three Central California teenagers are under arrest for allegedly impersonating police officers and trying to pull over drivers near Manteca.
Police say the three were arrested after motorists reported a pink Buick Century with flashing red and blue lights attempting to pull them over Tuesday night. In one case, one of the fake officers took the driver’s license of a motorist back to his car, then returned it and allowed the motorist to leave.
Police later arrested 19-year-old John Meza, 18-year-old Alex Chavez and 18-year-old Gregori Martinez. They face charges of impersonating a police officer, false imprisonment and conspiracy.

This morning I listened and watched, (as I have many times over the past months), to various types of vehicles flying up and down North Graham Street in Brady Texas even as school buses were picking up young children. And, as usual, absolutely police around anywhere.
The speed limit on North Graham Street and several other streets in this neighborhood really needs to be reduced to 20 MPH due to the large number of children in the area and also in consideration of the nearby elementary school and church. And after the speed limit is lowered, the Brady Police Department needs to spend some time in the area strictly enforcing that speed limit. Something else which would probably reduce the speeding considerably would be to install new at least two new stop signs along North Graham Street between Crothers and South Street and, again, have those stop signs monitored by police. If the Brady Police Department and / or McCulloch County Sheriffs Department do not currently have the manpower to attend to this critical public safety issue then perhaps it is time for the City Of Brady Texas to hire a few new police officers.

Brady Texas Now Has An Auto Race Track
The race track is actually North Graham Street between Crothers Street and South Street in the northwest section of Brady Texas.

Auto racing still continues completely unhindered by any interference from local police on the North Graham Street speedway in north Brady Texas.
And pedestrians, (including small children), parked cars, and other property are still at grave risk from the many very dangerous drivers speeding along this street and other nearby streets in this residential area near an elementary school.
11/05/09
At 7AM this morning a steady stream of high speed automobiles are racing up and down the North Graham Street Speedway in North Brady Texas even as school buses stop to pick up children.

Brady Texas Police Chief Charlie Derrick stated Wednesday morning that Brady Texas Police Officers, along with McCulloch County Sheriff’s deputies and DPS narcotics officers, carried out a major drug seizure on Tuesday.
Derrick said the seizure of about 10 pounds of marijuana was part of a an on-going investigation that started off with a traffic stop by a marked unit. Further surveillance over a two week period ended with the seizure of the marijuana.
Chief Derrick said the goal is to make it as uncomfortable as possible for someone to deal drugs in this community. And, this, he said, is one of those steps.
