No doubt, its all the politicians. The generation in power now were alive during the muscle car era, the horsepower race. In thier time the the “scene” was probably bigger then what exists today. Street racing was just something you did, you didnt have to worry about suffering for the next 10 years for getting abit roudy on an empty highway or a deserted back street.
They went through it, they were/are enthusiasts, but they dont care, why would they?? We’re a incredibly small population, we cant do shit. Make us look bad by relating every car accident with street racing and modified cars so the general public looks down on every lowered import with a loud exhaust they see and make themselfs seem like their heros by seemingly making our streets a safer place for everybody AND why not rack in millions of dollars in fines while their at it? Win-win situation.
It will always be the same way, they cant control the guns, stabbings and gangs on the street so they make a big deal out of something that the public knows is there and real. Turn the focus on us, bring in rediculus laws so they can harass us without consequence and nobody’s the wiser.
