Facts of Street Racing

• This is a little note for those who may not be
  familiar with the concept of street racing. In
  short street racing consists of usually two or
  sometimes three cars lining up evenly and racing
  on contest of speed and acceleration on streets.
  There is usually a flagger who lines up the cars
  as evenly as possible and flags them to take off.
  Sometimes the flagging may be done by honking the
  horn three times at which time both cars take off
  on the third honk. As you may have figured it out
  by now street racing is very much illegal. There
  can be many illegal cases connected to it
  including but not limited to exhibition of
  acceleration, speeding, and vehicular
  endangerment.

Import Nights

• Street racing goes on every night of the week and
  it happens anywhere you can think of. The more
  serious ones however take place on abandoned
  streets late at night, usually on the weekends
  and Wednesday nights. One night of street racing
  can draw hundreds of cars around the near
  vicinities of these streets. Usually they are the
  same people that show up every week it's a sort
  of "street racing community" if you will. This
  particular picture shows the classic setup for
  street racing-two cars lined up on an empty at
  night with a flagger in the middle.
