The story said this was all happening in a parking lot? I have heard of street takeovers maybe in Wethersfield?

Social media is probably getting large groups of people together like this.

Sometimes I think if THAT many people are interested in doing this sort of thing, maybe we should offer official track type places for them to use/compete in. It might keep them off the real streets.

New sports seem to crop up every so often. I remember when we had no skateboarding parks. Now it is an actual Olympic sport.

I know it was an incredible sight! It's actually happened a few times at the new intersection of the route 34 connector and orange st. There's red light runners essentially every single cycle of the signal because people are flying off the highway and not following the reduced speed limit signs in advance of the signal (although I don't fully blame them, nothing was done to change the design of the road to make it feel less like a highway) so there's been some targeted enforcement there.
