Events
Ok, okay-ok, so we admit, we've been lagging on this department. SORRY!!!!! But finally, here's the beginning of what you have been waiting for! The following are the most popular spots that we personally know of. Obviously there's more spots out there, and we will definitely try to update these as soon as the information is gathered.
CRUSING:
If crusing is what you are looking for (look at our cruising pics to get an idea), we recommend going the spot that never ends.... WHITTIER BLVD.!! (So. Cali.)
HOW TO GET THERE? Take all freeways toward the 605 fwy (this freeway cuts through most major fwys including 10,60, 5, 91, 210 and so on). Go towards the city of Pico Rivera. Exit Whittier Blvd. and go east bound. You will find that going west bound is normally blocked off. Crusing normally starts immediately after exiting the fwy.
IF YOU GET SENT BACK ON THE FWY: If you get sent back on the 605 North bound, exit on the very next exit which should be Beverly Blvd. Upon exiting, go West bound (Left). Follow all the way over the Bridge (Fwy. overpass). Cruising should be starting at this point. If you don't see any other cars, you may either continue west bound until you hit Paramount Blvd and make a Left towards Whittier Blvd, and start look for cruising in Whittier. Or you may get back on the 605 Southbound and exit Washington Blvd. (exit after Whittier). When exiting, go Westbound (right) and follow the crowd until Paramount Blvd. and back.
WHAT IF THERE'S NO CRUISING AT EITHER LOCATION? If you don't find any cruising at either of the above locations, then find yourself going west bound on either Blvd. (WASHINGTON, WHITTIER, BEVELRY) toward the next main street passing the 605 fwy. Turn on this street (probably Rosemead Blvd.) towards Whittier. Normally you will run into all the cruising when going back to Whittier through the streets instead of the Freeway. And if you still can't find people, then there's probably no crusing that nite, or, you need to try the side streets. May the CRUISING GODS be with you!
RACING!
If the "need for speed" is what your craving, then the number one spot that we suggest is... Ontario California!
This is not only our personal favorite because its close to us, its been all over the news, it has the largest growing number of GIRLRACERS, but because its EAZY to get to! Be aware that the action does not normally start until after 11 or 11:30p.m.
HOW TO GET THERE? From all Fwys. find yourself going towards the 15Fwy (Commonly known for going to Las Vegas!). This fwy cuts through many major Fwys., including but not limited to; 10, 60, 91 and so on. Once on the 15, go towards the city of Ontario. You will exit Jurupa Ave. THIS IS THE ONLY EXIT BETWEEN THE 10 AND THE 60 FWYS!!!! So if you are coming northbound and pass the 10, then go back, and obviously, if you are coming southbound and pass the 60, go back!!
EXITING JURUPA! Once you exit on Jurupa, go west bound towards the Carls Jr. and AM/PM gas station. (Away from the Ontario Auto Center). When you get to the gas station, you will noticed the long lines to get in. This is where everyone meets before going out to race.
WHAT IF ITS 11:30PM AND THERE'S NO ONE IS AT THE GAS STATION? If no one is there, go back on Jurupa Blvd. going eastbound (towards the Auto Center). Normally before you get to Milliken Blvd. (about 1.5 miles away), you will find people hanging around on your left hand side. Look for a Farmers Hamburger place on your left (corner of Jurupa and Milliken). That's the second spot to meet.
IM AT FARMERS AND STILL NO PEOPLE, WHAT NOW? If you still have bad luck, then exit Farmers and get on Milliken going south bound. Follow this street for approximately 4-5 miles until you run into Riverside Drive (there will be another Farmers Burger on your left hand side, as soon as you see it, turn on the first street that is to your right). When on Riverside Drive, you should be able to see Farmers DIRECTLY behind you. Follow Riverside for about 2-3 miles until you go under the Fwy over pass. As soon as you pass the fwy, go slowly and look to your left. You will see nothing but warehouses. Between these lit warehouses, you will find one long strip. This is one of the racing spots!. If you reach a stop sign at Heaven Avenue, then you past it up. Bust a U-turn and look for it again!
WHAT IF I STILL CANT FIND ANYONE? Well, if you still cant find anyone, then try going back the same route you came in. Chances are, once you're back on Milliken, you will run into GROUPS of racers going all kinds of directions and finally combining into one major group. When on Milliken, try going west bound on Mission Avenue (no more than 700ft. from Riverside Drv.). You may also try taking Milliken Northbound past Jurupa towards the 10FWY. Once you reach the last light before the Fwy. entrance, look around you for Hiper white headlites. Its no telling which side of Milliken they decide to race on! Have patience, keep on the same street, you WILL find them!
We at 4myride.com are NOT in anyway, shape or form encouraging ILLEGAL STREET RACING!!! This is a NO-NO!!!
If you think your car is fast enough, we strongly suggest you try the Pomona Faiplex, Fontana Speedway, Irwindale Speedway, or Palmdale track when they are opened to the public for 1/4 or 1/8 Mile Drag Racing. Life is precious, take care of it, and obey your local LAWS AND ORDINANCES!!!
Stay tuned as we will try to keep you informed of other spots to check out.
We do ask for your help, as this is a team effort.
