CobraBill...bite me.
Meat...good catch.
Putting this stuff in perspective, there have been several recent accidents and deaths in the Riverside-San Berdoo areas during the last year from street racing, as in other areas of the State. Last year, the daughter of racing legend Art Pombo was killed by street racers who slammed into her car while she was driving to the store here in Fresno.
Please don't compare it to the street racing of our youth...far more cars, much higher speeds, and alot less planning than we engaged in. Big Willy...where are you.
Hitting "gatherings" is the most efficient way of doing it. As most (should) know, racers/groups are sent out from such locations to different street racing locations after matching up and putting their bets down. When I was in college in Riverside, we met at the shopping center off 91 and were sent out to areas around Lake Matthews or roads near the river around Corona. I s'pose you could argue that the cops should always catch them in the act, but that would be like waiting for the gangs to actually engage in a drive-by and spraying a house instead of using selective law enforcement to round the basturds up beforehand, or maybe not going in to review employer records until you have proof that each employee whose record you want to review is an illegal alien.
And please folks...why not really check out news stories by comparing some other news sources and maybe checking what's really behind the story before you post it here.
General rule...you post it...you own it.
