I know it's really common by me. Where 495 starts going Eastbound out of the Midtown Tunnel in Queens is a very common "starting point" for street racers. There really no spots for cops to hide for a couple of miles (raised highway) and is usually empty late at night.

It also doesn't help that in my area, there seems to be a lot of parents that buy their young kids very fancy cars they don't know how to properly drive. They still think they're invincible, which is unfortunate because it usually takes an incident for them to change their mindsets.
