Default Is the street racing fad dead?

I don't think I've seen heard or read anything about street racing in the media for over a year. I have been noticing less and less modified cars in my area as well.

Did the recent gas price spike and stupid economy thing kill the fad?

or is it just as uncool as an Ed Hardy T-shirt now?

They're filming another FF movie. It'll come back the week before the movie is released. Maybe a few more ricers will Darwin themselves.

I don't think you can call something that's been around since cars were slower than horses a fad.
