A&E: Inside Story

Description by OLDIES.com:

They congregate in all-night hangouts where challenges are laid down and bets are made. They work their magic in parts-filled garages. And they practice their dangerous obsession on the midnight streets of cities throughout North America. Welcome to the underground world of STREET RACING: THE NEED FOR SPEED. We'll go inside their shadowy haunts and take to the streets with the racers of Toronto, men like Mike P., obsessed with breaking the national speed record, and his archrival, a garage owner named Rob. They talk about the addiction to speed that drives them to risk their lives in illegal nighttime showdowns, and amazing footage shows the contests where they put the petal to the metal. We'll also hear from the other side of the law and go inside the cat-and-mouse game the police play with the racers. All you need to know is that it takes a helicopter for the boys in blue to keep up with their quarry! After the sun goes down, the roads burn up with some of the fastest action on earth.
