Dangerous racing on south highway

THE EDITOR: When are the Police going to do something about these demented young people who insist on using the Rienzi-Kirton Highway in San Fernando as a racetrack?

It appears that the section of the highway just outside Skinner Park is their favourite, and during the wee hours of the morning (I understand it is on Sundays) one can find literally hundreds of spectators watching the action. This motor racing is held regularly, and I suppose they will eventually start selling tickets for this popular event — after all, no one seems to be stopping them. If these characters want to race their cars, why don’t they go to Wallerfield or some other place (perhaps their own backyards will do) and carry on from there. It really is not necessary to mention the danger involved; a person was killed there last year. It is just a matter of time before a really serious accident occurs, and I implore the Police to put an absolute stop to this damned nonsense now, before the worst comes to pass.
