I think most are watching it because -Like Me - you can't find any drag racing on TV!

And while they are not on a drag strip, they have an ambulance onsite and they are on a closed section. Detroit got scared because so many folks were showing up to watch and participate they canceled the permits thay had issued and closed down the racing.

I don't blame them.. (I'm surpriced they allowed it to go on at all!) but it does go to show these "street racer" types are not what they appear to be.
