Even 50 cars would be decent if there was some racing. It is a bunch of high school kids and ricers playing cat and mouse with the cops and in the whole night you might see 5 races... And get pulled over...

Yep, thats the way it is out there.. There is more action at some of the local gtg then there is at Beach.. That place is just too hot with cops. Now you can't even hang out in the parking lots and b.s. with everyone..

No matter if theres cops or not, people hang out at Beach every Saturday. A LOT of bikes. Not only do they hang out at the Starbucks right there at Beach and Western Center, they also hang out at the Whataburger and gas station parking lot on the opposite end of Beach near 820

I might be there next Saturday if the weather is good, look for the yellow corvette slammed to the ground on chrome Z06s

As stated, it used ot be shoot the **** until someone did something dumb now if you go within minutes cops are there and wataburger too. So you spen dthe whole night wasting gas and really the last 2 or 3 times i havent seen any racing. Its not worth the 10 miles from me much less 25.

Beach Street really isn't the place to go hear cars, you mainly get a headache if you're wanting to hear those cars. I know its 2 days late, but wait til you get back in town for the fall. Plus with you being in Arlington you should be able to roam out to dallas, and see some of their GTG's.
