The problem is, there is WAY more traffic, people and infrastructure now than when we were doin this kinda stupid stuff when we were young. There've always been idiots. But now, everything is congested where in the past there were wide open spaces on the outskirts of most every town. We used to go out and race on an abandoned part of what was going to be part of I-75 back in the late 70s and early 80s. We also used to have a Twiggs County Sheriff Deputy that would block off the east bound lane of I-16 coming toward Macon for several hours while the guys grudge raced ON THE INTERSTATE. Them crazy bastids would race 30 on for a half mile. We saw some stupid fast cars back then. Times were slap different back then.
