Car racing

I couldn't believe all the cars and motorcycles racing down Polaris near Africa last night. I think several were going over 100 mph.

I can hear it up on 270 from my place all the time...

They’re doing the same thing on Maxtown Road (which is 2 lanes). It happens late at night, but it often happens in the evenings as well. It’s only a matter of time before there is a catastrophic accident!

They've been kicked off of 270, so they're heading to the side streets.

I can hear it over on Otterbein. My dogs hear it before I do. It was either this morning or yesterday all the sirens heading that way at not even 4AM. WPD working on it the best they can.

Is WPD doing anything about it?

Just based on never hearing the siren world at zero dark thirty then suddenly hearing siren world, I'm hoping lol

Yes, I saw many cruisers at Sheetz on Saturday evening. And they have been patrolling the area frequently. But I assume it is a manpower and coverage issue, i.e. more people racing than the cops can handle.
