Californian Racing Sub Culture

[Vincenzo Veyron]

i recently moved to LA from NYC. i had no idea that LA drivers will challenge you to race if you drive aggressively or pass them with any sort of speed. in the last month since ive had my ESS tuned 50i E70 on the highways of LA i've driven aggressively to see what ive got under the hood. in that time ive been challenged many times by cars and bikes alike. every car has been crushed and not one bike has beaten me until we encounter traffic. anyone else in LA experience this phenomenon? i've hear about LA street racing. is this an off shoot?
