Especially in the middle of the day, what did people think was gonna happen?

Combo breaker!

I used to go years ago on Fri/Sat night. I was amazed that people started doing burnouts/drifting/racing in broad daylight as well. Police have been looking the other way for decades.

With that video I can’t help but wonder if they’re had a plain clothes officer on scene filming. Especially since they impounded so many vehicles they must of witnessed excessive speed during multiple races.

People where posting video's and photo's all over social media. I remember last year getting off the ferry and the highway was full of smoke. look to the left and through a fence I could see someone doing donuts.

Ya gotta give it to car people to find places that are generally out of the way to do this but all it takes is one inexperienced idiot with a 500HP car to plow an entire crowd out and make a mess.

I remember going down there in like 1999?

at 5:00 is that a tesla s? i'm sure i'm a noob here, but why drag race an EV?

They're pretty damn fast from a dig.

Cuz it's fast af? Instant TQ

i meant why try when you know that's what an EV has...i guess to see if your ride can take it on...

Also the only thing they're good for.

That's usually why ppl race. Yes

I miss Java Hut meets.... sigh

Or try to "drift" and take out someone else's car.

... Is that too soon?

@ me? LOL

Not too soon.

Back in 2014 or something there was an RS spring meet (the infamous one with diesel trucks ripping up asphalt etc) I had my brand new car parked. I heard some stupid shit so decided to go check. It was some fucking mustang doing donuts in the Spanish banks lot inches from my car (no one else parked next to it) pelting it with rocks and debris. I ran as fast as I could and started screaming at the idiot driver.

Kudos to whatever fucboi it was, he found me in the crowd later and apologized but I was pissed

1.30.31 at Laguna Seca. Faster than the McLaren P1.

Other cars it's faster than.

Here is an electric CRX beating a Mercedes C63 AMG at duke point.

It's going to take some convincing to make me believe a bloated barge is good at anything other than hammering down the straights. That may beat other cars at some tracks in overall time but it's not what I would consider interesting to do.

*granted I'm the kind of person that has zero interest in straight line speed in a car. No matter what I've been in I've never found it appealing.

It's a 4 door sedan not a 2 seat sports car.
