Officers bust two street racers in Santa Maria

September 2, 2025

By KAREN VELIE

Santa Maria police officers busted two drivers street racing during peak traffic on Betteravia Road on Sunday.

Casting is closed for a “Fast and Furious audition,” an officer posted on Facebook. The drivers were cited and their cars were towed.

Both cars will be impounded for 30 days.

“Street racing belongs on the big screen, not Santa Maria streets—so keep it safe and drama-free out there,” police said.

Add Traffic fine $1000 street racing presuming they are fined.

$4235 I have a feeling Grandmas racers will go to auction as they are not worth the towing & impound fees.


Why don’t they name the racers this time?


Sounds like the daily commute on Creston Rd. the LA crowd and their horrendous driving habits have arrived.


So, two stock V6 grandma cars, struggling to reach the 45mph speed limit?


Ooooooh! The excitement!…


The impound fees are costly, so is the citation fees. Hopefully they wont want it to happen again if they have any sense.


I can guess their ethnicity just by the city and vehicles shown.


They can do it again, south of the border somewhere.
