Detectives caught Villarreal racing his Mustang against a Camaro on Blackstone. Because of the sound of the engines the officers used a radar gun to determine these vehicles were traveling at approximately 75 miles an hour, said Fresno Police Capt. Don Gross.
Officers attempted to stop the cars.
The driver of the Camaro pulled over, but Villarreal sped off and officers lost him.
