Finding your local Street Races?

I was just wondering how people find out where the "spots" for street race gatherings are in thier area? As of now I wouldnt race in them, more interested in spectating. So how did you guys find you local meetings?

Cruise around looking! I don't watch the formal events though, i just drive until i come across someone that wants a run.

Anyone else??

I never claimed I was worried about being punished. Seriously not a problem. I said I wasnt going to race because I dont have a car that would perform well. Anyone else?

Get friendly with some people at an import garage in most downtown areas and ask them where to meet up.

Actually sounds like a good plan. Thanks for the help guys.
Even though it will be funny buddying up with import mechanics/racers when most would discredit me considering a mustang GT as my next car. Actually, now that I think about it, for those of you involved heavily in street racing, would a mustang GT be a good option for a car im looking to pay around 8-9k for? Any other suggestions? I am not an all american car or all import car person, I like cars. So whichever would perform best for the price, dont hesitiate to suggest it. Thanks

He meant that participation of any sort, being the racer or the spectator, can lead to punishable circumstances in either role you play. Be careful with that!

i think that depends on where you live, when i was going to the street races, you couldn't get in trouble for watching.
