STREET RACING HAS BEEN A PROBLEM IN ALBUQUERQUE FOR A LONG TIME. NOW, CITY COUNCILOR BRAD WINTER SAYS HIS PROPOSED ORDINANCE TARGETS SPECTATORS. HE PLANS TO INTRODUCE A PROPOSED ORDINANCE THAT WOULD MAKE IT ILLEGAL TO BE A SPECTATOR AT THESE RACES ON.
WINTER SAYS HE’S AWARE IT’S NOT A CURE ALL, BUT BELIEVES THERE WILL BE FEWER STREET RACING INCIDENTS IF THERE ARE FEWER PEOPLE WATCHING THEM. BUT ONE MAN TELLS KOB TV HE’S SEEN FIVE CAR CRASHES IN HIS AREA IN THREE YEARS … AND HE DOESN’T THINK STREET RACING WILL EVER STOP.
