Drag Racers Could Cause Thousands to Drive Off Franklin Boulevard

Kathey McCally claims she was nearly driven off the road Tuesday morning by two young drivers drag racing on Franklin Boulevard. Gastonia Police Sgt. Michael Lari says young drag-racing hoodlums will travel from 30 to 40 miles away to race on Franklin Boulevard. No word yet as to how many drivers on Franklin Boulevard are actually drag racers from outside of Gastonia, but some estimates say it could be as high as 13,000 a day.
