Types of racers
The predominant age range that participate in racing are those aged between 16 and 25. Male minorities that come from mid to lower social class are more likely to partake in street racing. 33% of the drivers that participate in the races do not own a state driving license, while 66% do. Driving while intoxicated plays a major factor as 88% of drivers are under the influence of a substance. It turns that around 14% of most participants get into some type of crash. Crashes usually happen during the night or really early in the morning. This was done to avoid other disturbances like cops or traffic. Street racing is a tiny fraction of car crashes. The urge for educational programs to teach people about the negatives of risky driving can minimize the rate of street racing. By doing so, this can help lower the rate of crashes within teenagers.

A way to share to the world is through the use of social media. Social Media is a platform where you can share to others all over the globe. Youtube is an online website that contains millions of videos uploaded by the community. A popular search in youtube is videos related to cars, more especially, "fails or crashes". This generally attracts the younger males, causing the videos to satisfy them and even sway these viewers into replicating some of these actions. The reason for why these types of videos are uploaded can be for the chance to be famous, to seek attention, or even a kick of adrenaline. Lots of the videos uploaded to youtube are created and viewed by young adults.
