Street racing

Street racing is a form of auto racing that takes place on public roads, either through normal traffic or during empty hours of traffic, often inside the industrial areas of cities. It is illegal, as such driving is prohibited by many traffic regulations. Law enforcement officers attempt to stop these races, but because of the frequency of them, most of the time, the racers also are not caught or they get away. Speeds in an illegal street race can reach over 180 miles per hour and crashes can and do occur.
