They have started really cracking down on street racing here the past year after a couple of innocents were killed .
Probably ain't impressing many here.

Growing up it was very popular. We had a couple old abandoned commercial areas we could go to with no street traffic around. I'm not saying it was smart but at least we were away from any pedestrians or other drivers. No drinking or drugs just a bunch of gear heads hanging out on the weekends having fun.

It wasn’t illegal racing, it was a no prep there were ambulance, and cops blocking off roads

That’s exactly what we were doing, but there was ambulances incase of an accident.

There were times the cops would show up just to watch. Some were pretty cool and come by and check out our rides and ask us questions. Then there were those who'd break it up but never ticketed us. Usually if you're nice and not rude they were cool too.

I didn't see any barriers and it looked like a house so wasn't aware of anything like that that the cops would condone .


Dave , we used an old abandoned air field about 7 miles out of town back in the day . That was waay back in the day ,lol. We never had anyone or vehicles lining the course so no one ever got hurt that I remember . They were doing some stupid stuff here the last few years and it has drawn a lot of attention.

Strong? It was coming, but strong is for sure not the right word. More like "I think I can, I think I can" :giggle:
More like I know I will. That thing was fixing to show nothing but taillights.
