Dodge to NASCAR?

I don't condon street racing in the sense you are referring too either however that isn't going to stop idiots. When I 'was' street racing in Bakersfield we usually took it out of the city to a way out paved country road which are very plentiful out there. Also in the small town of my birth place we did the same thing. There it was a small group of kids usually sometimes others from nearby were there but we kept our activities limited to short times so the cops didn't have time to get there usually. In Calif. this was often not the case as the CHP knew where to go and when, so we alternated from one place to another, that didn't work either due to Motorola. here were times the Sheriff got in on it and sometimes they would use unmarked cars and troops not in uniforms that would blend in with the crowds, large vans would show up and load racers up for transportation to jail and many cars would be impounded. Since Famosa Dragway was never far away, there was always something happening during the summer season until things got out of hand in the later 80's by that I mean cars were being garaged on account of legislation and emissions checking and registration requirements, no smog cert. no licenses. As far as sanctioned racing like NASCAR, business is what it is, for business men and the owners wants or find another job. Just like football etc... Now factories are not in HP races like they used to be and Chrysler Corp. got out of it because of financial and political issues. Makers are more concerned about economy and luxury these days which is fine, but fewer people are even capable of changing their oil and then there is the EPA part of what to do with it. Some will keep it for shop heating. There are just too many blockades to learning our cars anymore.
