The way L.A. gets rid of street racers.

Street racing IS dangerous and this is coming from a person who has done it from the mid 1960's to present. The difference, and no excuse or supporting mechanism for it, is in the 60's almost every age group did it. Bigger was better and I'll show You attitude. BUT....the races were over in a matter of a few hundred feet at the most...if one car got out front and the other was not gaining , it was over. The lights were always turning red and it wound of being a couple blocks at the most. People today want to race for miles and at speeds over 70 plus....Again, not supporting street racing but I did and most likely will continue when I feel the conditions are right.

Great assessment. I will add too that times have changed. Where we used to do it now has exploded with strip malls and shopping centers and other businesses. It is way more conjested everywhere than it used to be and there are way more cars on the road than there were back then. Used to be, it didn't take 10 minutes to get completely out of town and see ZERO light pollution. Those days are over.
