Description
Over the past several weekends there have been a LARGE number of speeding cars going down Havenscourt Blvd at approximately 2-2:30 AM on Sunday morning. It's a huge group of perhaps 100+ cars, taking up both lanes, and drag racing at high speeds. I wouldn't doubt if they were doing 70+ MPH. These appear to be nice cars like European luxury sedans. This morning, I stepped out on the porch to watch and it took a couple of minutes for them all to pass by. This isn't one or two kids out having a joy ride. This is a serious organized event. And it's NOT safe!!! My next door neighbor and I have both been woken up by the loud rushing noise as they pass by. They're CRAZY. And I'd love nothing more than for the police to block them off at both ends of the street, confiscate their cars, and haul them all off to jail. If it happens again next weekend, I'll try to get video.
