The Chicago Police Department’s caravan task force, formed a month ago to combat ramped up incidents of drag racing and “drifting,” has made inroads against brash street takeovers but isn’t going to win the battle overnight, officials said.At a Monday morning press conference, police addressed video that surfaced over the weekend of crowds gathering while cars performed “doughnuts” at multiple city intersections.
Referencing the department’s pursuit of people involved in 2020’s looting incidents, Brown said officers would continue to track down vehicles and drivers. An ordinance recently passed by City Council empowers police to impound cars — taking a car off the street is the surest way to prevent the next incident, police said — and impose fines up to $10,000.
Hey, if you want to race, there are places to do it legally and where it's less likely to hurt innocent bystanders. Interesting tidbit, though, many tracks will require certain safety features to be in place on the vehicle, so doing legit drag races are safer for you too.
