Give illegal sideshows a designated space in the Bay Area: Letter to the editor
Re: “Sideshows in San Jose, Peninsula draw crowds and police” (Page B2, June 18).
Like driving fast and taking chances, sideshows will occur whether or not society wants them. We accommodate speeders; we gave them Nevada. We need to do the same for sideshow enthusiasts.
Give them a site where they can explore the limits of tire traction and the cost of replacing said tires. It’ll solve a lot of problems, and the occasional accidents will be a boon to local body shops.
