Oh mannnn.
I remember in the early 2000's...two guys pushing probably 450 RWHP each (which was a lot back then) going to do a roll race nearby. I was asked how much I weighed, and I was skinny so they asked if i'd ride shotgun and hold the camera lol.
I didn't end up going for some reason but it was an honour to be chosen.

A lot of camaraderie, hanging out, nobody really got hurt.

Hell, I remember in the early to mid 2000s the Camaro/Firebird guys and the Mustang guys held meets in the spring down at Spanish Banks. I distinctly remember burnout shows, revving, etc. Hell, sometimes a cop would be present and they wouldn't react to it, just let it go on.
There are videos of this still on YouTube.

If you did that today at Spanish Banks, had a car show with burnouts, people would shit a brick because it would interfere with their yoga and bicycle meditation.
