Drivers are behind bars, and the cars and trucks they used to race are locked away. The San Joaquin County Multi-Agency Sideshow Task Force on Thursday night busted seven people and impounded 10 vehicles following multiple sideshows in Stockton that have shuttered freeways. Sideshows are automobile exhibitions that are illegally held on public highways or roadways. Sideshows often attract large groups of people to watch drivers drag race, do donuts, and perform other car stunts for onlookers. Stockton has seen an increase in illegal sideshow activity this week.
