Next door on the East Granby/Windsor line at Tire Rack every Friday a bunch of people do donuts and shit in the parking lot for hours. It’s an ongoing town debate of “call the cops and shut them down” vs “they’re just having fun, shut up lame-ass”

It used to but it has been at least 15 years since the Berlin Turnpike was any kind of cruising/street racing scene because the Berlin/Newington police worked hard to shut it down. Many people started going elsewhere in the nearby towns or on streets alongside the Berlin Tpke until they get chased away. It became somewhat easier to find spots when you could organize via web forums and then more recently with everyone having a smartphone.

If tire rack allows it then nobody can really do anything. That warehouse is private property.

In fairness more burnouts means more tire purchases so tire rack gets the last laugh
