Why Miami’s Street Racers Are Turning to Legal Raceways 

That dude with the long hair is like the youth pastor that really “gets it”

You know what people normally race for? Its not "respect". Hard to believe but it's for FUN. Dude acting waaaaay too serious

This guy is a typical Need for Speed game character

Fun Fact. This DOES NOT reflect nor portray our local street scene in Miami.

shoulda done more research than watching 2 1320 videos before making this video. Having a teenager tell me about his Ferrari isn’t street racing.

The bearded guy just like NPC who will explain the entire game for you .

The guy at the beginning looks and sounds like the kid that never grew up but just got old

Please tell me theres a ex cop street racer out there with a nissan skyline who also happens to have a black friend that organizes races. That'll be funny.

That guy's voice does not match his body 😂

"None of our parents just bought us a car." Next scene: "Let's go to my friend's house. His 'family' collects Ferraris". Come on!

Came here to see a bunch of jdm and American muscle racing but turned out it was a documentary full of rich kids. The ae86 drift scene was the best

So...No Tuners. Just rich kids racing in super cars 🤦🏻‍♂️

“Our parents didn’t buy us these cars...” 2 mins later Goes to kids parents house with lined up supercars...

I do 200mph+ twice a day on my way to the Office and back and its totally legal.Thank God for for the Autobahn! Greets from Germany.

Oh yes Miami, where you can race cars while living in a 200 foot room with the bed next to the toilet paying $1000 monthly on rent.

"We got Hondas, Daddys Ferrari, A bearded Urijah faber, Mustangs, McLarens, Daddys Porsche, Mommys Mercedes, Nissans, Supras, blowup dolls in the backseat, we got it all man"

On a bike 200mph in the dark.The urban dictionary calls a crotch rocket an organ doner machine.

I know that kid with all the dope Ferrari's he's actually lit as fuck follow him on IG- Scuderiaman I think dope ass pics

Okay this is going to be kind of long but bear with me, the Miami / South Florida street scene is a very different reality than what is portrayed in this video. The video covers a piece of it, the want to move racers over to the track, but the reality is that the scene is extremely dynamic. First off, street racing is big, but not so much Miami, at least not for money. Most weekends, they are warehouse takeovers where hundreds of cars do donuts and drift, not so much speed. Also, its not so much a "running from the cops" environment, we are usually just told to leave and we do so. Secondly, the racing isnt all 100k cars, but a massive mix of "built" and "bought" cars. Theres something for everyone.

Real racing starts @12:00 everything else is Chads and Tylers.

You guys hired an Actor for this lol. Jerry Ascione AKA the dude with the long hair, is a small time actor look him up. He's not a former street racer as pro-claimed by Vice.

Guy at drag race: some people like extreme fishing Me: *confused brain noises*

"If you want the ultimate rush you gotta be willing to pay the ultimate price." Sometimes you get lucky and others pay the ultimate price for you.

That shot of the guy drifting the corner is amazing

No jumping over bridges?! This ain’t real Miami racing

I remember, I'm an old woman, when street racing was made up of or black and brown some white men that worked minimum wage jobs and saved up their money to go buy a Honda and Frankenstein the s*** out of it. They didn't collect Ferraris or live in mansions. They live in some of the most unforgiving parts of the United States. But they had a special talent 4 turning the ordinary into extraordinary. And this video. The kind of elitist to me. It didn't have that real street car racing feel to it. And I'm not really impress. But it was pretty to look at.

Standing in front of some randoms person grave "I don't know him personally but he seem like a good dude." Wtf🤦‍♂️

Aside from the Street Warriors coverage this isn't really accurate... but mainly what's up with Becky at 14:40?? Somebody tag her, I'm tryna see something

This video shows the track and the “rich kid” meet ups in Miami. Half of what was shown was barley what the street racing and car scene in Miami is like.

I know 200 when I see 200 NA he’s probably going 199

The fact that he said "it's not like our moms bought these cars" tells me that his mom indeed bought him his car.

This guy reminds me of Alan from the Hangover films LMAO

I love how no one has addressed the issue with track racing. 1. You sign a release / waiver - this is so you can't sue the track, file an insurance claim, etc. So let's say you put it into the wall or worse, the guy next to you looses control and takes you both out, totaling your car and worse your in bad shape and need a hospital and surgery. Well remember that form? Your insurance is going to DENY your claim, for personal and vehicular coverage. So you will get stuck with a huge medical bill from the hospital, you will also have a wrecked car which you are responsible for fixing (Out of your pocket) and the tow truck company is going to need payment which was not covered by insurance either. Let's say you were drag racing on a public highway, you also were high on heroine and had open bottles of liqour in the backseat you were drinking from. If you were to wreck your car into a parked police cruiser, your insurance would cover the repairs of your vehicle, the rental for a enterprise vehicle, your medical expenses, and they might even replace your liquor which was damaged and or lost in the accident as well. (yes your rates will increase, yes you may goto jail, but you didn't have to pay 💰 out of pocket, declare bankruptcy, or commit suicide to get out from under a mountain of debt (vehicular loan and medical expenses) along with the cost of a new or repaired police cruiser. Kinda fucked up but street racing at the track is kinda dangerous and risky. Like really risky.

If want see real street racing come Texas and TX2K

I like how the guy talks like "if you don't want the effect don't be part of the cause". When they going speeds like that on public roads, as a bystander you're not given a choice. One of them comes at you at that speed, you're gone also.

These dudes talks about street racing like theyre part of some dangerous outlaw gang or part of the navy seals. Like relax dude youre just driving fast in a straight line its not that crazy.

"our parents didnt buy us there cars" minutes later.... "family has been collecting ferraris for decades

Cringy video aside, appreciate the effort VICE.

from a miami local, who is actually in the street scene, this is not miami street racing.This is a romanticized version of street racing in miami, only time u see realistic cars is after minute 12. Either way nice video vice.

There are a ton of crews in South Florida that have the crazy illegal meets with all of the "cool" stuff -- burnouts, donuts, street racing, 2-stepping, constant hooning, etc. -- they have large followings and even block off intersections and busy highways just to have the road for themselves to do stupid shit. Car clubs like mine just avoid those clubs and we're trying to promote a positive car community culture. A lot of people down here in Miami love their cars and don't want heavy car restrictions like in California. See, in my club, we're a family. We help each other out, we share our passion for cars no matter what you drive. Built or bought? Not a problem! We have an interest and passion for cars but we respect the community so we like to do things legally. For our Bi-monthly meets ( @CorsaClubAmerica on IG), we talk with the location and have permission to be there. We don't do burnouts, donuts, or any crazy dumb shit. We let out all the crazy antics when we go to Fast Lane Fridays at the Homestead Miami Speedway. We get together as a family and have BBQs at the park, collect backpacks to give them away to families in need, etc. We try and give back to the community and partner up with like-minded clubs to push this positive car community era where anyone is welcome no matter what you drive, as long as you respect the community. Hopefully, we can start a new era of positive car club culture, where you don't get shunned if you choose to leave a club, switch clubs, not street race, etc. We're here to earn respect from the community while still having a good time.

"Out here 1000 horsepower is like only mid-level." Okay, reel in the BS a bit, okay? Go back to those 200MPH runs on route 27.

dOinG iT 4 pAUl wALker m8. This isn’t true street racing looked like a bunch of rich kids trying to look cool doing a documentary lol. The ‘old’ looking guy gets it. But it seems all the others are just posers turning out for 5 minutes of fame.

“i know 200 when i see 200 thats 200” could he sound more like a tool than he does🤔

Everything before the track was all fake.. exotics meeting up doing burnouts omg street racers.

"our parents didn't buy us our cars.." sounds like something somebody who's parents bought them their car would say

This video was a whole lot of nothing. Well shot, but what was the subject matter? -People die racing -fast cars on us27, nice job burning the spot even more than it was before -going to a track, oh wow there's an event -track is too far from Miami Resolution/conclusion: nothing Also basically no lower end well-built cars which are what most of the hardcore racers drive, just a bunch of exotic "package" car guys. Nothing against them, but that really isn't what most of the scene is...

Can’t believe they didn’t include Brian O’Connor, Tej or Roman Pierce in this video. Respeck the OGs Vice.

Drop! 2 Fast Drop! 2 Furious I'm too fast for y'all, man Drop! 2 Fast Drop! 2 Furious I'm too fast for y'all, man AHH, you just came home from doin a bid Tell me whatcha gon do? ACT A FOOL

This video is proudly brought to you by all of the clichés and phrases from the F&F franchise.

These are not the Droids you're looking for

Um, just some regular street racers in merc, BMW, lambo, Ferrari. I want their job in Miami. Right......

I have been hit twice by street racers on my bicycle. Both times they went through a red light and hit me. It's not that I have pure hatred for them for no reason. I hope they get their cars crushed and prison time. That's actually kinda funny because some police when they are off duty are deep in the racing scene and it's not going anywhere regardless of what I don't like. Take it to the track. As a car enthusiast that's where cars should be racing not on public roads.

To the smart dude at the end. The difference is that when you cliffhanging, skydiving, basejumping etc.. You put only your life at risk. But when you racing on public street you can hurt innocent people so I wouldn't laugh and gloat so much if I were you

What I’m noticing is that the exotic car scene is taking over Miami and the donk scene is taking over Memphis,Tn🧐

A lot of these cars were not designed for 0-60 runs, but rather for constant track laps.

VICE managed to get politics involved at 15:50...

The dude with the beard still lives with his mom ... change my mind

iN miAmi we go to “HOMESTEAD” speedway

I'll never understand how people can do this. I can barely pay my bills, let alone have money for something like this.

Dudes betting $10 on the race........Slow down there Mr. Race Wars

All I see here is a bunch of dudes with mostly automatic transmissions thinking that they can drive....🤨

When vice misses the perfect opportunity to film FL2K . Good job to let us down again

Street racing is so lame. I love cars and bikes, and will have that passion till death. But watching grown men still into this, is just sad. This is stuff we did as idiotic teenagers 15 years ago, and would all be wildly embarrassed had we caught any of it on video.

Wait, so they literally filmed all the spots they go to and mentioned which highway they use mainly?? But why?

This has been going on for over 60 years. My Dad, my brother, my Uncles all did this “somewhere in Mexico”. 🤣 #305 They need another track closer than PBIR. Would help a LOT!

I got a Vice ad before a Vice video

Security - "Roads closed pizza boy!" Pizza boy - "Gosh darn street racers!"

Good to see R.Kelly is doing something constructive before sentencing, getting people off the streets and to the track. Now that song Fiesta makes sense.

Quote "a honda , or one of these" Points at rare exotics 😂😂

Downtown Miami is the most aesthetic downtown in the United States hands down.

Who is that rich kid? Stirling fairman?

The guy with the long hair is a good guy and everything but man he reminds me of Alan from hang over.

"These aren't even race cars really...these are street cars based on race cars. It doesn't matter if you have a honda or one of these (Ferrari), it's just the passion of cars that brings us together..."

They need to go to Texas 2k to see real street racing..... I’m sorry but “exotic guys” are mostly posers. These are the same dudes to get walked by a eBay turbo civic.

i thought they were going to talk about the okechobee meetups and custom hondas,nissans,toyotas,fords

I’m halfway through and this is the first piece on street racing or cars that Vice has done that’s actually somewhat accurate and does a good job and letting the story tell itself.

Man, we used to race in Orlando (o-town) back in the day, there were practically no supercars only beat up Hondas and Nissans. Occasionally you would see a S2000 or a nice Rx-7 if you were lucky.

Streets closed pizza boy, find another way home!

I apperciate that vice isnt trashing the street racing scene like other news channels

Gandalf's a street racer well I'll be dammed.

If I were president every time 2 cars pull up to a stoplight next to each other the law would be that they HAVE TO RACE. Failure to race will result in a $100 fine. This would be strictly enforced..

That dude looks like Gandalf

Real meet up spot was at Denny’s on Okeechobee back in the days

The closest I’ll ever get to doing this is on Need For Speed Heat😂😂

I died when they showed the kid and said his family has been collecting Ferraris and literally there was 2 ferraris and 1 Porsche lmfao

So no JDM?....

That old dude stole a line from Point Break

I love Miami. So blessed to live here

Who here from Miami remembers the hangouts at the Sunoco on Okechobee and the races at the bend after. Those were the days, cars lined up as far as the eye could see to race out the hole.

damn people havent even watched half the documentary and already talkin trash

I-95 and 441 is where Miamis street racing scene is. and trust me, no one cares how fast your car is, they care how fast you can drive it.

The faster you go, the more room you need. And keep the innocent out of it.

People who actually street race would never give out where and what they're racing with. It sucks that Vice is trying to dramatize street racing culture just so they can get more clicks for ad revenue.

14:39 Cheers y'all

Come to Detroit and see a real street racing scene👀 this ain’t nothing, check my channel out also to see a lil something of it

Did He said roll race start at 100mph?? is that when ur car makes horse power lmfao

You got balls to be racing a 1800hp car on the streets

Miami ? Vice !

Dude talks about worrying about cops doing 140 150. Me : *casually drives at 130 in a Ford C-Max in the Autobahn*
