Apparently, they had several people block the freeway in order for them to perform this asinine stunt. One arrest. I caught the tail end of the 4 o'clock news.

It's okay to respectfully disagree. I like you too. :)
However, just weeks ago there was a story about an elderly couple killed on 7 Mile when their car was hit by someone suspected of racing. Personally, I've unknowingly driven onto streets been used as drag strips in Detroit a number of times. I could have been killed as well.
All of it is extremely reckless, but I'm far more afraid of unwittingly driving into the middle of a drag race than being caught in a traffic jam on the Lodge because of someone blocking the freeway to spin out.
riff raffs and street rats.
The behavior mirrors that of an animal, actually animals behave better, but at a minimum no respect for the safety of others. Pathetic, self indulged, and non caring.. they get what they deserve hopefully...
I drove over the donut circular burnt rubber leftover areas of the Lodge today... I wonder who had the nerve to be the first to slow down the traffic to a halt for that across lane setup?
They could have been rear ended in the effort!
Stand stills on below grade freeways freak me out. Especially being stuck on the express on 96. You are just screwed.
Luckily no one was trying to make it to a hospital etc that day.
They're playing the tapes of that crap on the TV stations here in Las Vegas. Nothing like national news, eh?
Thing is, what do you do? Assuming you have 10 or 15 marked units at the right place and time, then what? You get behind them, you got a chase. We know how that can end. You get in front of them and block the road; they decide to try and run the roadblock, that can end badly. Cameras? If you can identify a plate and vehicle, how do you ID the driver?
These turds know all that too.

We could always follow in Iowa's footsteps:

You just need to catch them. There is no way these cars are being abused like that and are legal.
^^^ The burn-rubber circles are just south of the Livernois avenue exit along with not a few scrapes along the fwy divider and shoulders.
Maybe the paint left behind can serve some forensic purposes!
Every Wednesday night street racers gathered in a parking lot in Southfield, then headed out to the expressway where they blocked traffic and staged drag races. That was back in 1970.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
I heard on the news yesterday that the Mayor is thinking of
"providing "these drivers with an area where they can do their donuts within the City limits. They don't want an area, they want to stick it like you say. Why on earth would anyone pander to these people is my question. Their actions are deplorable and very dangerous to the spectators.
Imagine a semi tooling down the lodge at 55MPH in the middle of the night, coming around a blind curve and seeing a line of cars stopped across all three lanes. The lodge in that area is tight with barely any shoulder. Blocking traffic like this on a freeway is *insanely* dangerous.
