When Fast & Furious came out, street racing was an every day kind of thing. Over the years you have seen less and less news reports of people getting busted, and less and less forum posts about it or kill stories. Has the street racing scene died out and are people keeping it on the track more or do you all see alot of illegal racing still happening where you live?

 

I never see it really organized like it was years ago, but I build my engine. If someone wants to challenge me, I'm going to accept (within reason). If people want to act like idiots and want to make it dangerous, I'm out. I'm not going to be driving 90mph on a 35mph road. I'm not going to be weaving around semi trucks or taking the shoulder of the interstate to pass cars.



I see a lot more organized events than I did in the past. Much more local drifting and autocross going on it seems. Glad to see a shift from street to the track.

 

There is a shift towards going to organized events, but there is still a fair amount of semi-organized street racing and plenty of random stoplight drags. It wouldn't be tough to go out and find someone willing to race at any given time around here. Most of the local people looking for a race have figured out I don't want to play and leave me alone now.

 

nooooooo I don't street race.......

 

To be realistic the ricer stage is going which means more legit cars which go to organized events but always after events there's street racing

 

In the Bay Area its still pop-in! Sometimes its really organized. Any where from 80 to 300 cars. Either sleepers with motor swaps on juice or heavily modified turbo'ed vehiclles. Alot of cars run anywhere from high 13's or high 9 seconds in the 1/4.

 

not like it used to be. hardly ever the random go around here. in the summer there is still a meet spot on the weekends and you can find action if you challenge but nothing like it used to be. more folks are going track then anything for competition. most of us just grew up and life took over....
