Friday evening kick-offs a weekend of screaming tailpipes

6 p.m. Once again, a Friday evening kick-off of the screaming tailpipe parade through Laguna Niguel: Crown Valley Speedway: cars race northbound from Hillhurst past Alicia toward Niguel Road (perhaps somebody sitting in their city hall offices should open their windows to hear what goes on in this city); another report from Golden Lantern Speedway, southbound at Marina Hills of noise and speed violations; and a third report from Moulton Speedway at Rancho Niguel. Laguna Niguel is one web of speedways for all the surrounding cities, compliments of funds received from the county transportation authority which makes our roads wider and faster for the neighboring cities, but noisier and less safe for the residents in Laguna Niguel. It's a really pathetic and self-serving system of gaining monies in the city coffers to the detriment of city residents.
