Jenkins showed the video to car enthusiast Augustine Malfavon while he was getting gas.
He said that he would love this in his younger years. But he’s a grandfather now and concerned about safety.
“People used to drag race up and down the street, but it was all straight away. No burning out like this. No ceiling off the streets. It was all back streets. But you know, this kind of makes it unsafe,” said Malfavon.
The video also shows that several Butler Township Police cruisers arrived at the scene. Dozens scattered away when they heard the police sirens.
