A study done last year said that illegal sideshows and street races rose 27% from 2020.
“I thought to myself we just gotta give these kids and these people a place to go do that — to be able to express their passion for automobiles,” said Irwindale Speedway President Tom Huddleston. “And be able to take them and put them to their limits and experience what a car can do in a safe environment.”As the only remaining short racetrack in Los Angeles, for $20 Irwindale Speedway opens up a “burnout box” every Thursday night.
The most recent street takeover in the beach city happened at the intersection of Venice Boulevard and Abbot Kinney Boulevard on Saturday night with another one happening the day before right underneath the iconic Venice sign. “At first I was like this is cool, but then I was like ‘This is not as cool,” said Emily Berry who witnessed one of the sideshows. “I was just hoping nobody got hurt.”
On Sunday, another sideshow happened at University Park near USC with drivers doing donuts around a circle of viewers.According to an October 2021 study from California Highway Patrol and AAA, reports of illegal street racing and sideshows have risen 27% from the year before.
