oh, memories. All i can say is that I had fun being young dumb and stupid back in highschool. Every saturday night was cruising and street racing(closest drag strip was 2hours away). Its funny because It was surprisingly very organized and alot of camaraderie happened out in the streets. It was a small town so all there was to do, was either get drunk, make babies, or street race on saturdaynight.. lol
The night when it did get broken up, there would be 1 sheriff that would roll up, and we would scurry away like ants.. lol. It wasn't untill about summer of 2002, crack-downs began happening. Undercover cops, road blocks.. red and blue everywhere, i'd say 1 cop for ever 2 cars (estimated about 40-50cars)..funny that was the year when gang-violence/murders spiked and went up in my hometown as well
I don't have a real side on what I think about illegal street racing. It was a teenage phase for me.. i felt it did me better, because I got to know more about cars, and use my brain, instead of getting drunk at the age of 17 and most likely being a daddy at age 18.. But i do feel that the amount of money and energy put into stopping them is ridiculous. I wonder how street racing was controlled back in the 80's and 70's?
