Watching ENCOURAGES it!! C'mon, can you honestly tell me that these guys (normally) would be racing if it was just him and some other guy and not have any pretty girls on the sideline cheering for them?? :rolleyes:

There were a couple of areas near me in Connecticut that were street racing hangouts. One is called the Berlin Turnpike (now home to a Krispy Kreme), where there were long straightaways and people would race late at night, after the traffic died down. I believe that was before there was more commerce in the area though, and I don't think there's much racing anymore.

There were a couple of places in my hometown in Connecticut that it also happened. I had buddies in high school who used to go down there to do it; most of them were athletes who needed something to keep them busy out of season or when the liquor stores were closed.

I want to hook up a Nissan and blow by everyone. NOt race, just when I see racers, always pass them and cut them off and be like what? But seriously, I have to give them mad props for all having identical Hondas. I'm sure that must have took careful planning.
