Street racing is engrained in the culture of hot rodding, for better or worse. There have been movies glorifying it, television series turning it into an organized game show, and a seemingly endless array of late-night illicit action happening in towns and cities across the country. The largest motorsport organization in the world, the, was formed in the ‘50s to deter this type of behavior.
Street racing—not drag racing—isn’t the only automotive mayhem that has been smearing the reputation of the hobby and sport. There is a fast-growing act dubbed street takeovers, or sideshows, sweeping across cities from New York to Los Angeles. It is best described as a group of people blocking an intersection and they do perform burnouts, doughnuts, and other motorized mayhem. It is different than street racing, but certainly no less dangerous.
This is a shameless plug—support your local drag strip and drag racing events. Tracks provide a safer and sanctioned alternative to illegal street racing. And with the growing number of burnout competitions and amateur drifting, sideshows/takeovers have a less dangerous and legal outlet, as well.
