Eh. I street race, and I've been doing it since the late 90s. I've been in MA, NC, SC, VA, FL, OH, MO, and all around them frequently during that time.
It's _way_ easier to find events of some sort now. They're more organized, safer, and the cars are faster.
I was fairly well connected back "in the day" and it was a monthly thing at best, with the occasionally drags on someone's street on the weekend. Now I know a handful of people, yet I can find an organized street event twice a week.
I've been told it's even more common on the west coast.
- TigeriusKirk 4y agoHere in the California central valley sideshows have picked up quite notably in the last five years or so. These aren't really about drag racing, it's more a bunch of cars showing up somewhere to show off and do donuts in some intersection. A lot of injuries from people standing too close to spinning cars, and when the cops show up everyone races off, often causing accidents with complete innocents. California has some new laws against the practice, so I guess we'll see where that goes. https://timesofsandiego.com/crime/2022/09/19/governor-signs-law-to-crack-down-on-increasing-street-racing-takeovers-and-sideshows/ https://timesofsandiego.com/crime/2022/09/19/governor-signs-...
