Trust me its not just racing, I found only a few ls1s on this board. Shows or meets that are worth going to are scarce as well. What do you drive that your in Boca.

First mistake was moving to Boca, second mistake was thinking something actually happens in Boca.

Only thing that happens in Boca is Packy's on Saturday night. If you're looking to see some cars and just hang out, check out Tower's on Friday, in Davie. Just keep in mind, it's the same cars all the time. So it'll get old quick. For street racing and such you might have to look around or get in good with someone that knows where to play.

go to Miami, okeechobee road/I-75 and the 138th graham road exit, there is a denny's and a U-Gas gas station down the road (okee) that get PACKED with street racers etc. Also right off that exit there is a publix that gets pretty packed but sometimes the cops get there and kick everyone out, only sometimes. Cops dont bother at the U-gas on Okee b/c the owner told police that business is better when all the cars are there, so they cant do anything. On okeechobee you will find the occasional dope dealers (or god knows what they do) with 900+rwhp 8-9second cars who know absolutely nothing about cars lol (i dont mean 'everyone' but if you've been there you know what the hell im talking about lol) (ie brand new twin turbo C6 Z06's, 650rwhp dumdumdumdum's, 650+rwhp full blown turbo civics, turbo trans am's and camaro's ::cough cough:: lol yea a few very fast cars overall that will surprise you you will definitely get some action on the street, too much action sometimes, so much that you find yourself NOT trying to race because the guy in the kia next to you wants to roll you at 40 lmao But anyways if you do attempt a semi high speed run, just do it "safely" if that even goes togther lol Oh and watch out for the occasional ricers pulling their ebrakes, losing control, and sliding into oncoming traffic, or the stangs who pull a godzilla sized burnout, get lost in their own cloud of smoke and almost crash into the gas pump thats 10 feet to the left of them lol ok im done messing around, no really you should check it out its verrrrry interesting on each and every friday and saturday night, weather permitting

People really should be more responsible when it comes to posting late night spots...pretty stupid.

As for the OP, dude, there is TONS of street racing going on up here in WPB...you may have to leave Boca, but you wont have to go to far.

Check some of the local forums and it will all come together.....good luck.

ABACOA CRUISE in Jupiter:First Saturday of the month, from 4pm til 8:30.
I-95 to Donald Ross Road. East about 1/8 mile to second left "ABACOA" Go up another 1/4 mile and make a right at the Stop sign. You'll see the Stadium on the left, and a bandshell on your right. Bars, restaurants, Tents set up as bars in front of the Live Music, and lastly Drive around after the 50/50 raffle around 8:15pm.
Fun for the night and hundreds of cars all over the street/sidewalks/etc.
Something nice to do once in awhile. cars are usually 1985 & older, but late model F-Bodies & Vette's are there often.....

Yea there isnt much much around here especially in boca or deerfield, being near FAU I suggest you hit the bar like everyone else....
+1 on what mike@diablosort said, West Palm has some pretty secluded roads not far from town and A bit more F-bodys than down here, at least thats what I see on here.
