Several Web sites regularly post illegal street racing information on these meets, many of them on Long Island's parkways, Capt. Ulrich MacKenzie of the State Police states.
Second, South Brunswick police are caught off guard by street racers for all over New Jersey, and parts of Pennsylvania. "I couldn"t believe what I was seeing," said police Sgt. Thomas Glapion, who came upon the procession. "They came off the Turnpike together, in tandem. When the turned, they all put their blinkers on at the same time, signaling almost in unison." Its an adrenaline rush, its addicting says McCracken, a street racer for California. It has been an underground thing, but The Fast and The Furious, brought it out into the open. The sergeant was on patrol along Route 32, which is also known as Forsgate Drive. He saw the procession of cars make their way onto Herrod Boulevard; which leads to the industrial area of South Brunswick. Glapion, in a marked patrol car without a light bar followed the cars onto the warehouse lined road, and found hundreds of cars parked in lots and grassy strips. The racers noticed Glapion, and began screaming "5-0, 5-0", referring to the old police drama "Hawaii 5-0." Glapion called for back up, officers from South Brunswick, Monroe, Cranbury, and Jamesburg blocked off exits from, the industrial area. Police were only able to detain about sixty cars, but many more, including all of the cars there to race, escaped. Those that were caught weren"t forthcoming with information; the police was able to learn they found out about the location through the Internet. Drag racing, both illegal and legal has been around since cars were invented. With racers reaching speeds in excess of 100mph.
Finally, police in Philadelphia say that a local website is helping to keep Delaware Avenue a busy drag strip. These kids gather every Friday and Saturday night just like the father's did twenty years ago.
