Sideshows?

So this is probably one of the dumbest things I've seen ever. Check out the video:

Cracking Down on Oakland's Auto 'Sideshows'

I do not understand the attraction to these things. Is this like black NASCAR?

Can you imagine how it smells around one of these things with all of that burning rubber?

Apparently a number of people have been murdered at these things. Women who refuse to give sexual favors have been ripped from cars, stripped naked, and forced to run home as their cars are vandalized.

Isn't that nice?
