Grover Beach police officers arrested three drivers for street racing over the weekend.

Officers witnessed two street races, one on the 1500 block of W. Grand Avenue and the other on the 1800 block of W. Grand Avenue. Officers responded by arresting three drivers, two local residents and a driver from the Visalia area, who was also charged with drunk driving.

“Remember, not only is it dangerous and illegal to engage in street racing and reckless driving, but it also brings consequences such as a 30-day vehicle impound, according to the Grover Beach Police Department. “Let’s keep our roads safe and prevent a tragedy!”

Same problem in AG 5cities shopping Center parking lot. Simple solution is speed bumps like those around Walmart! But no!!


In the 1970’s we went either out to the roads by Oso Flaco in the fields or somewhere out by the Airport after the Thursday nite cruise night.


Public roads are not racetracks. Go to an actual speedway to learn how to be a proper/professional racecar driver.


30 day impound? Should be crushed before they release the cars.


As long as the impound fee is say $400-$500 a day wouldn’t be too bad, Over $13,000 to get your car back or it is forfeited and sold.


Great job, GBPD. I hope you stay diligent. N. 16th St is treated like a speedway as well.
