Not everything is totally black and white.
While I am not in favour of doing crazy things around town I can see the logic in the illegal activity that happens here.
When the "enthusiasts" want to play they go out in the middle of woop woop, post sentries at each end of the location to warn of any inbound traffic (including cars with a disco fetish) and play for a time before dispersing.
VERY illegal but really no more dangerous than on a track.
Occasionally the police wander out and throw rocks but usually they get there just after everyone has gone.
Maybe they see an advantage in a little "steam letting" away from the populace possibly reducing stupidity around town.

Agree 100%
The local police (before my time) had a unwritten law along the lines of, "You keep your antics out of the main streets an we will leave you lot alone". There was a stretch of road, a good drag strips length and all the bloke went out there for a bit of fun, untill people broke that law.
"Professional hooning" like the recent ACA vid, every corner was manned (and i have a feeling the road may have been blocked Fast and the furious style
) the bloke was showing amazing car control that the likes of an average driver don't have.
