Yes, street racing is still quite popular these days. We have a long straight road in my rural area and the tire marks at the starting area are very evident. I am sure the police know about it too as I saw a CHP hiding out in a vineyard one evening.

Occasionally there are broken down ricers on the side of the road. I once saw a car that had caught fire too. (or torched on purpose).

Near town there is a new bridge over the Salinas river. The bright white concrete has burnout marks all over it. Along with a few nicks on the side barriers. :lol:

Not sure about the crushing part but some counties are trying everything. It is really out of hand I guess.

Here is a dated article about a bill that was to be signed into law again. I don't know how it turned out though. I think it is targeted at the ricers mainly but to have your car confiscated for chirping the tires is ridiculous.
