[net.auto] Street Racing Dead??!

     Don't tell the boys in Columbus, OH that street racing's dead.
They'll all feel like they've got no place to go.  Here in the heart
of Ohio, where the roads are broad and straight as an arrow, street
racing is very much alive.  Blown big blocks and 9000 rpm small
blocks are becoming a dime a dozen.  Racing is at such a feverish
pitch here in Ohio that race car builders have a several month 
backlog.  Several car clubs exist in the city and during the 
warmer months, cruises and car shows of several hundred vehicles
are held about once a month.  We have the Spring Nats which floods
the town with racing fans and their pride and joys.  Last summer
we had a car show which drew over 7000 cars and trucks.  That
leads to a lot of cruising and racing.
