I don’t see why the rest of us have to be subjected to “Speed Bumps” on a major thoroughfare. Why doesn’t the NYPD do their job instead of installing garbage that places extra wear and tear on everyones vehicle.

I like how the supposed “criminals” are more civil and respectable than their detractors. Shooting from rooftops? Deliberate oil slicks? That’s advocating for deliberate murder. Grow up. Street Racers simply race because the nearest track is 50+ miles away, a drag strip nearby would cost at least $10-30 million dollars and would never fly in Nassau or Queens simply from all the NIMBY whiners who would buy houses near the strip in a few years then lobby to get it shut down from the noise like the last track we had in Long Island during the 1970s. This is assuming noise regs would even allow it to get built in the first place.

Either way, street racing has been going on in Maurice Ave for a good 15+ years and in Queens since the 1950s. How come its suddenly a problem when kids are showing up in Civics and get called from the “Fast and Furious” generation? I never saw articles during the 80s and 90s when kids were running in Mustangs getting called from the “Grease” generation.

This is a very one sided story, this is just a bunch of car enthusiasts in their late teens up to their early 30s of all backgrounds and races gathering together to meet up and race. Nothing more nothing less. The most dangerous part of this event is when the cops come and people panic, 50-100 cars trying to leave at once makes it easy to get run over or hit another person. I’m more worried of a drunk driver running into the crowd than I am of another racer when I go. NYPD should be going after real criminals, the drunk drivers and car thieves of this city, not harassing young people who can’t defend themselves or don’t even vote.

lets just say its streetracers v. police.

drag racing in NY will ever stop. people have been racing in NY since the 1950s why would we stop now ?

maybe you guy should watch how much Money the MTA spends and leave us alone

NYC needs to open a motor complex ASAP!!!!! THAT’S ALL WE NEED PERIOD.

What’s terrorized? Just a few drops of oil on the road and problems’ solved. Hopefully, it’ll take out the T ARDS before they’d spawned and further infest the gene pool.

oh brother. here we go again. their fighting a losing battle here. cause they can always move to another location.

What’s worse about this is that people are blaming the fast and the furious franchise for ” the rise of street racing ‘ in the country since it targets the teenage and the 18-29 dempgraph for boys.

Make a league for them and build tracks in non residential areas.

simple solution, change the speed limit and put in speed bumps, nobody’s going to drag race if it’ll rip their transmission out from under their car…

So you telling me some of you idiots going to shoot at innocent ppl cause there racing cars. Let’s be honest one of you ppl shoot at these kids you really think they won’t think about getting revenge on the person that shot at them???

Honestly drag racing has been going on since cars first rolled on to the streets. Its never going to stop. This situation is being handled in a real bad way. These racers are not criminals. They are fathers, mothers, sons, daughter, and come from all sorts of professions. It is done around secluded areas such as these where all this factories and shops are and the streets are empty at night. No one is out to harm anyone, or steal, or sell drugs. Many have even been fighting for years to get a track opened up here in NY it would reduce the amount of street racing quite a lot. Instead of treating these people as criminals why not hear them out too? Seems to me like this is a one sided story and no one give the racers a chance to plead there case.

RPGs will stop them.

PLEASE-PLEASE-looking to build a 1/4 mile track-keep those people off the streets-call me-518 812 3425

i’m trying to build a quarter mile track.need some money-its got to be done-518 812 3425-

I would simply shoot the cars from roof tops…that would stop those kids real fast. Or lay out spike strips when racer’s aren’t paying attention!

I just think they should leave the kids alone. They have nothing else to do. The economy is horriable. There is nothing for kids to do anymore. Street racing as been going on since they made cars. And its been getting stronger every year. From the 50′s on. I dont get why now people are making a stink. At least these kids are not sellling drugs, rapping someone, killing anyone or robbing bodaga’s. The state is just mad they are not making any money off of it. Like I said last time street racing on the news. Someone should make a drag strip so people have somewhere to go and get them off the streets. Opening up a drag strip will create a lot of jobs at a time people really need them and it will also make money for the corupt govenment and state.

So what’s New. Did the same thing in the late 50′s. nad 60′s.

How do you say “Build a legal strip to run ion”

the old timer

Another reason to buy a gun.

they are Muslim drag racers here to kill americain children

This is another excellent reason why we need a drag strip to be created on Long Island where proper supervision can be provided and residential areas are not disturbed.

To the residents who are complaining,would your rather those guys running up on you in your house or on the street and jacking up your ass?Live and let live people its only drag racing no crimes here.

Hey I bet 2 grand my morped up evo can beat any dragster out there
will b bringin it out this Fri at the above address nec u all gonna b chicken feed

lie lie lie the streets are made clear for @ least two miles then the ACTION takes place.Its a fun sport.

Drag racing is cooooooool.

All the cameras are focused on Muslims and their house and mosques. Kelly and associate need to watch us more than the criminals and thugs because that’s what his zionist friends tells him.
