The Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office issued arrest warrants on Wednesday for two men involved in the now infamous Woodlands Parkway Thanksgiving Day street racing incident that was recorded on a cellphone then posted online where it went viral.

Roy Wayne Bowden and Brian Andrew Herbert are charged with Racing On Highway Causing Bodily Injury, with bond recommendation set at $30,000 for each.

The video, posted on YouTube, was titled "Two Turkeys on Thanksgiving Wrecking their Corvettes in The Woodlands," and had over a million hits in only a few days. Bystander Gerod Rush noticed Bowden and Herbert revving their engines at the intersection of Woodlands Parkway and Montfair and he recorded the race and crash with his smart phone.

The video shows a child on a bicycle and an adult crossing the intersection before the light changes to green and the real action begins. The two Corvettes screech their tires as they fly through the intersection. One of the Vettes then goes out of control colliding with the other, landing both in the tree-lined median.

Herbert, whose license was suspended at the time of the crash, was transported by EMS to an area hospital complaining of leg pain and dizziness, but was not seriously injured. At the time of the crash, both denied to authorities they were racing.

As of this writing, neither has been arrested.

I hear they are closing the dam or closed it last night. Now we just need a chit load of rain to the North!

I leave for Utah in the morning and I'm taking the dually. Who wants to go to Clear Lake and pick up my new ride?

It's not ready for delivery until tomorrow.

Anything going on tonight?
