Well, the stories I've heard from the, uh, elders, is that back in the day (50s, 60s, and to a lesser extent 70s), Southern CA was a street racing haven. However, you didn't have to go far to get to long uninterrupted empty stretches of road where you weren't a so much threat to the public. No days, you've got some real dumb as*es racing down busy public streets, neighborhoods, etc. It's gotten bad enough that if you cause a fatal accident while racing, you can be charged wit murder.
