Saginaw Street and Strip

Flint is hurting for officers in a bad way from what I've read.

The local officials plan to institute a "seizure" clause for those apprehended partaking in nocturnal speed contests. Yes,they are hard-up for $$$. You may see some cars come up for auction-after the "favored" local salvage yard has stripped what they want.

The "St. John's"-actually James P. Cole Boulevard-crowd has always been slightly to very out-of-control. Yes;I was a part of it in the 1980's,but haven't been there since the Eighties. No,I wasn't one of the drunken idiots! Even then,the serious players RARELY made a pass there;at least side-by-side with another car. The hard-core action took place and still takes place on a local Interstate.

Street racing has always been and will always be. For a multitude of reasons;whether inability to get to a track,lack of proper equipment to run at the track,or good ol' impulsive behavior,along with many others.

thanks for your input on this subject!!

UPDATE!!
Flint officials impose $900 fine for vehicles caught drag racing on city streets

Tire marks from racers cover the southbound side of James P. Cole Boulevard in Flint near the makeshift starting line used for drag racing.
