Do people still street race?

I wondered this today. Back when the movie The Fast And The Furious came out, many people around here were street racing. Most of them were still just kids, ages 17-20 or so. Late at night they’d take their cars to the nearest wide highway, which was in the next town over, and race. Some kids got hurt. One or two died. The street racing continued. More movies came out. Most of the cars were foreign makes, but they all had car spoilers. A couple of years have gone by and I don’t see nearly as many of those cars anymore. I don’t see movies coming out loaded with street racecars. I’m glad, because the roads aren’t safe for anyone if kids are racing on them. But I did wonder, do people still street race?
