Ok, I'm old... well older but still young (37) Grew up in the interior of B.C. Street Racing's been around forever, but from what I figure its a different style from when I was in high school and such. We raced some serious powerered, (frickin' HEAVY) cars. Cars I've had... 68 Chevelle SS 396, 72 Buick GS455 Stage1, and my cars were not nearly as fast as some of my friends. We'd all be cruzing main street Vernon till you caught a light with someone and it was on. But, put two honest car lengths on a guy and it was done. You won, no questions. Seems now you have flyby's, long distant races, with exteme speeds for those long distances, people loose control and bam. Its just a different style now.
Dont get me wrong, every car/bike I've owned I know what the top end was, how fast it would get there and such. I just try not to fly through the city @ that top end.

Regardless what is happening tho, the police need to NAB the people who are doing this, and not the people who like having nice cars. They can't go and tow a kid with a 120 --> 170 hp, or whatever it happens to be, because he's put a intake/exhaust, or even nitrous in it, because companies are putting out cars, with more horsepower than that (WRX, 227hp).
The only thing I agree with Exhaust, are these LOUD *** ones, that sound like crap.
Personally I think they should start ticketing those who are driving like a slow-*** in the LEFT (fast) lane on the highway. Lets wake up...
