Re: MoPar muscle and the 413 wedge !
Read this article talking about street racers getting a dedicated spot to race.
Now I was part of the street racing scene in the late 60's and early 70's before regulations and the police shut it all down.
I don't advocate for this type of street racing any longer because of several things, mostly the outrageous fast cars today and the numbers of people that could be involved in a crash.
I also feel the show in TV ( Street Outlaws ) is bogus. While those race cars have always been part of the street racing scene, but in all my years I never saw a race on the streets with a full out race car like they portray in the TV show.
Atlanta Could Get Dedicated Area For Street Racing

Atlanta Could Get Dedicated Area For Street Racing
While most people are staying indoors and going to bed once the sun goes down, the streets are mostly empty in even the biggest cities. While the police are still out in full force, it's the streets of Atlanta, Georgia that seem to be getting busier, but with the sound of burnouts, donuts, and cars going way above posted speed limits. It's a problem that has compounded these past few weeks, and while the fines have been raised in an effort to deter bad behavior, the issue has gotten so out of hand that city officials are considering more creative ways to take the hooliganism off public roads.
Bloomberg Associates, a municipal consulting agency set up by New York's former mayor of the same last name, has been working closely with Atlanta officials. Their mission is to come up with solutions to stop illegal street racing in the city. But the idea they've been considering the most comes from Mayor Keisha Lance Bottom's 18-year-old son – by setting up a designated space for street racing and its associated antics. "Along with Bloomberg, who we’ve reached out to help us do some benchmarking and assessment of what’s happening in other cities has been to consider a designated space for street racing,” said Mayor Bottoms while addressing the Atlanta's City Council over the phone. According to The Drive, other cities have also considered a similar idea even before the coronavirus, stating that Detroit had sanctioned some sideshows in early March, resulting in a few accidents with spectators but no major injuries. Jalopnik ran a story on this, too. More importantly, the general public was not inconvenienced or in danger during these events.
