Information about street racing:

Street racing is an unsanctioned and illegal form of motor racing that occurs on a public road. Street racing can either be spontaneous or well-planned and coordinated. Well coordinated races are planned in advance and often have people communicating via 2-way radio/citizens' band radio and using police scanners and GPS units to mark locations of local police hot spots. Opponents of street racing cite a lack of safety relative to sanctioned racing events, as well as legal repercussions arising from incidents, among street racing's drawbacks.

Florida is also a state known for its street racing scene, especially South Florida. Michael Mann in 1984 while describing the pilot Miami Vice episode coined the "Fast & Furious" phrase. Palm Beach, Broward, & Dade Counties are the birthplace of the "Fast & Furious" culture itself. South Florida legend states that after a 1986 airing of a Miami Vice episode directed by Rob Cohen called Florence Italy, about New York Street Racers in South Florida racing in the Miami Grand Prix, which in 1986 was still held on Downtown Miami's actual streets, South Florida legend states, a group of South Palm Beach County & North Broward County Teenagers began using their parents' sport cars to race on parts of Dixie Hwy between Lake Worth and Ft. Lauderdale, as well as parts of Hwy 441 in Western Palm Beach County, after this Rob Cohen directed Miami Vice episode. This first group was dubbed the 1st generation of South Florida Street Racers, and South Florida legend states this group's "king of the streets" was Dominic Addeo, and featured other well known racers as Rob Van Winkle aka Vanilla Ice, who incorporated the South Florida Street Racing life into his 1990 hit song, Ice Ice Baby.

Later in the early 1990s, about 1993, South Florida's 2nd generation of South Florida Street Racers exploded onto the scene with the boom of the second muscle car era. Many of South Florida's 2nd generation of South Florida Street Racers were taught to drive by the 1st generation of SFLA Street Racers. One of the most notable of the 2nd Generation of SFLA Street Racers was Sean Tommy Wright, who even today is still well known to many SFLA Street Racers for his escapades around SFLA between 1993 and 1999 and was nicknamed the "Palm Beach County Fury" by Burt Reynolds (the Bandit) for Sean's ability to out-run Palm Beach & Broward County Law Enforcement.

Some police departments in the United States have also undertaken community outreach programs to work with the racing community to educate them to the dangers of street racing, as well as to encourage them to race in sanctioned events. This has also led to a campaign introduced in 2000 called RASR (Racers Against Street Racing) a grass-roots enthusiast group consisting of auto manufacturers, after market parts companies, professional drag racers, sanctioning bodies, race tracks and automotive magazines devoted to promoting the use of safe and legal raceways as an alternative to street racing. Kent's Beat the Heat is a typical example of this type of program. Other such alliances have been forged in southern and central California, reducing the incidence of street racing there. Except San Diego, popular racing locations have been Los Angeles, Miami, Long Beach and Fort Lauderdale.

The CNMI (Common Wealth of the Mariana Islands), near Guam, a U.S. territory, had a bill put forth to legalize street racing.
