Let me tell you that I DO NOT condone racing on streets.. in fact I think it’s bloody stupid. But this short video does give us some insight as to how and why people do this.

I just wish they did this in a more controlled fashion.

For sure, that car is INSANE! I just wish they would do this shit on a bloody track. But no, they prefer to be “cool” and do it on public roads.

Do they just kind of block the highway for the race and then leave?

Sure, but they block it so no rescue/emergency vehicles can pass though. I know for a fact that ambulances have been blocked by these fuckers.

Jeez. There’s tens of thousands of US dollars into those engines. There were no strips to rent out for the weekend? Or maybe it’s an insurance/liability issue running such powerful cars, the strips won’t host?

But if it’s a tradition/badass thing, I don’t swear often here, but fuck that.

There is/was strips to rent not that far away. Insurance is not a problem, these guys just think it’s cool to race on the streets.

You crazy Swedes. You really know how to hot rod.

I love the Opel. I had one of those years ago. Sans the massive motor, of course.
