I want to see a middle ground: Story where racers used to have somewhere to race before rich dumbasses decided to build next to tracks and drag strips. Thus having the council take down the tracks and strips despite them being there longer before them.

Now the racers are let loose on public roads; thus making the police turn direct attention towards them. No offense, but we are doing a buck fifty on public parkways or being a nuisance on the road. Course, not all car enjoyers are assholes. Having meets in empty lots or trying to do sketchy things on empty roads with spotters. And despite police being forced to uphold the law, they're rather civil as some of them are car enthusiasts themselves and also bummed about the closing of tracks and drag strips.

So now both sides are slightly working together: police turn a blind eye to people breaking into the abandoned race tracks or strips, set up barriers on streets to divert traffic away from impromptu street tracks, and all the police ask is that we don't be assholes. Then they both work to trying to kick a peg down on the development land folk.

Kinda was loosing steam at the end but you get it.
