Results: Rebel with a cause
Normally, speeding away from cop cars is frowned upon, but starting Wednesday night, local high schoolers will have a chance to do just that at Sonoma Raceway's Top the Cops program. High school students can drag race head-to-head against Bay Area law enforcement officers when the popular Top the Cops™ program returns as part of the weekly Wednesday Night Drags program. The Top the Cops™ program, which enters its 19th season in 2013, offers an alternative to illegal street racing and gives teens the chance to race against law enforcement officers, who compete in full uniform in their official vehicles. The program also provides a unique environment for the officers to talk with teens about safe driving and the rules of the road.
