Among 47 traffic stops, police arrested 11 people and towed 10 vehicles. Some vehicles were lost to asset forfeiture, meaning the drivers lost the car permanently by participating in street racing. Most takeovers were broken up in minutes, police said in a news release.

        Oh that’s fucked. It’s no good if they can’t actually handle themselves decently.

          It’s not cool at all. They need to spend the money to rent time on tracks. Make it a show and make money of people who go would actually wanna see that.

            I don’t agree with that. I don’t think the rich people who own the track should get to decide everything.

              unironically advocating for racing on public roads because you can afford a car and racing as a hobby but not track time

              Yeah, no. You don’t get to put others lives at risk without consent for a dumb little hobby.

              Then whining about “being cancelled” because the public finally made the cops do something about this public nuisance…. lol.

              To put the cherry on top, acting like you’re somehow the justified and non-entitled one for wanting to street race. LMAO.

                That’s not how quoting works. Don’t put words in my mouth. I literally don’t own a car. Go fuck yourself.

              PIR is owned by the city, genius.

              And they host this stuff all the time. All these idiots had to do was pay the $40 car entry fee and they could party all night long.

                Pretty sure PIR requires license, registration, and insurance. Based on the arrests being made, these idiots don’t qualify for PIR.

                  City of Portland. It’s a public facility.

              And so the poor people on the street need to pay the price by being inconvenienced at best and injured at worst? That’s a stretch if I ever heard one. The racers are not noble in any way.

                  lol, which ones did I ignore? Your pseudo half assed tankie bullshit comment about the “owner class” not getting what they want? Take that back to .ml or better yet go join lemmygrad. And what I did is called making a counterpoint. It’s a part of discussion. But yeah just keep feeling everyone to f themselves when they disagree with you.

                    ROFL!

                    You don’t disagree with me. You disagree with shit you make up about me. I don’t even need to be here for you to have a whole argument against yourself.
