But the last two times in a row when the pack went the a place to race, half of them got lost somehow, I'm like how do you get lost when you just follow the person in font of you. Not like we speed there, well not excesivly atleast. The races have spread pretty far. Some of the racers have come from Topeka, Lawrance, and even Williambury Mis. I'm like dang, mang.

Yeah, I decided not to put any loction maps where the street races are because who knows who reading this. But the street races have been moving around, and if you need the location, contact me if you like, and maybe i'll tell you. Why people street race? Suicidal, dangerous, insane; these are all typical illusions of one virgin to the culture of street racing would conger up as the word presents itself. What these immature insignificant ideas have no true truth of what goes on under the moon light hours. Therefore due to the bias articles on newspaper and television programs, I will bestow the knowledge about our history and culture of this beloved sport. Almost every night thousands of young drivers will enter into a game of cat and mouse with local law enforcement officials. It happens to most major city around the nation. While society sleeps individuals risk life and limb, occasionally in their own cars, at times by merely speculating. Yet the repeated accidents, the arrest, and the danger and risk associated with street racing, this activity has been going on since the early 60s. With the ever so growing automotive industry, American society quickly blended the automotive lust into an American culture. There is no actual historic document that identifies when street racing begun, but a respectable hypothesis is that it started in the early 60s when the automotive industrial leaders such as Ford and Chevrolet, started building extreme competitive automobiles, such as 64 Chevelle, 64 Pontiac GTO, and ever so popular Ford's 65 Shelby-350 mustang. Remarkably the concepts and the drive, relatively little has change within the past 40 years, only time and culture would cause such a ripple. At one time in the 50s and 60s, racers modified their automobiles with wrenches and screwdrivers, but nowadays the new generation has evolved into using precise instrumental tools, laptops, and algorithms instrument. The badges on cars that were once labeled as Chevy and Ford now render Honda and Toyota. This is largely due to the increasing popularity of the smaller cars, which are inexpensive to insure, and can be dramatically modified. One timeless element that hasn't been revolutionized is the police's actions or inability to cartel and eliminate this problem. Today with larger cities seeing a bloom in development, real estate has become so valuable, racetracks once in isolated territory has now become prime industrial housing popery for future development. The tracks quickly make way for the housing development. With fewer and fewer places for these individuals to race and show case the power of their cars, it has lead into the streets. With the closing of one of Kansas City's drag strip, KCIR; consequences will adhere for a poor judgment by the conical. Repercussion will be increase in racing due to the factual evidence that most individuals are unwilling to linger in an excursion to a track hours away. � Why would I drive to Topeka three hours away, when I can just drive down the street and do the same thing,� stated Jake. These individuals quickly improvise; were racetracks doesn�t exist, devise and be creative. Now vertically any isolated industrial area can be transformed into a midnight drag strip. All that is needed is good stretch of smooth road and some diligent and reconnaissance and the participants will come. On any given night on any give location frequent by street racers, one can expect to see a showcase of automotive social gathering. The actions of racers are always the same, cars gather at a staging destination such as a restaurant or a gas station. There challenges are made and convey to one of many locations are formed. After a little scouting for law enforcement, the racers descend on the location. Most are there to watch but a few accept the risk and ultimately find themselves racing. Having attended many races, I can tell you most accidents occur when people are pulling out and not checking for racers. Others occur when people stand too close to the racing action. Only rarely do car crashes into spectator. Yes, it is dangerous, but it�s the adrenaline rush that people of all ages enjoy. In some cities police just simply monitor the activity and intervene when people get out of hand. In other cities elaborate raids are planned where hundreds of law enforcement swoop in and raid the area. If cops make their appearance, racers move onto alternate places, and sprinkle throughout the city. The racing activity is sometimes a backdrop for what is also a hang out spot. A sort of social environment were girls, load music and casual dancing occupies the non-racers. Street racing sub-culture has been pass into the new generation by past alleged racing parents, but more so by the media. Recent new released of the popular street-racing movie, "The Fast and the Furious" has brought an insult into these illegal competitions. The media are bias in their depictions of street racing. Highly respectable news companies such as Date Line, and CBS�s 20/20 have criticized the races into being "dangerous and illegal." To make it worst, even our very on school newspaper has made a bias editorial column about street racing with having no actual evidence of supporting their opinion. "Most of the time is spent worrying about the cops and where to go next." Unfortunately Kyle's opinion has no backbone of factual evidence or experience to state such so. To make an article able to withstand the ridicules and critics, one needs to be at best have probable cause and factual evidence they claim their opinion. If one still wonders what the attraction is, it's quite simple; we live in a car culture. To individuals all over the globe, cars have represent freedom and independence, freedom to come and go as they please. As time pass, automobile became a symbol of expression and entertainment. Were as one individual finds playing sport as a hobby, these individual find profoundly how addicting speed congers them. Racing is about as necessary and relevant an exercise as bait and tackle shops at a bass tournament. Racing boils down to hedonism and the passion felt for the sport, and the desire to compete.
