I was down there one time last year and they were racing in the industrial area around Front St & Broad St. Mostly imports though. The cops would routinely drive in & break up the racing, only to have 200+ cars go screaming in every direction and then meet up somewhere else in 30 min. The cops were cracking down hard on the street racing after the Fast & Furious movie out but I don’t know if they’ve let up or not.

I was just giving a general area, not a specific location.
