LA will eventually do Paris one better.
LEO no-go zones on the freeways.
Pretty stupid to do “illegal street racing” on a Freeway instead of isolated back roads in middle of night. Shoot fifty years ago they had illegal street racers who had portable timing lights and stuff...but since these races draw a crowd if you are racing for “pinks”...but judging the area involved I see low information voter territory and thats all I will say about that...

The police turned a blind eye. They knew it was safer that way. We even had the "Christmas tree" starter lights for the races. I recall reading that it was closed down after a fatal injury.
The activity took place between Crenshaw and Vermont—just west of beautiful downtown Watts.
Drag Racing? Just wondering was Courtney Force racing? She and Ashley are beautiful racers.
We always had street races on San Fernando road near the end of Balboa in the 70’s and into the 80’s, but the road is pretty jacked up now. We always went to deserted areas where the only people that would get hurt were the ones actually racing their cars. What the hell has happened to people nowadays? Hell on My Street, Angeles Forest highway, you could easily have 1/2 mile races, there is a 1 1/2 mile straightaway going uphill to the boundary of Angeles National Forest. There is a group of about 10 porsche’s that race through the canyon on Saturday Mornings.
