The members of the Greenburgh Town Board unanimously adopted a law similar to legislation previously approved by the White Plains and Yonkers City Council at the December 9th meeting trying to help address the problem of drag racing on Greenburgh streets. The new law authorizes the forfeitures of vehicles - if the owner was convicted of drag racing. the noise associated with unlawful speed contests creates a nuisance and diminishes the quality of life enjoyed by our residents. The races themselves are also dangerous, not only to the participants but to bystanders and other vehicles legally using the road. At the Town Board meeting James Nolan spoke. Mr. Nolan�%u20AC%u2122s brother, Michael Nolan, was killed in a drive-by shooting that stemmed from a drag race in which he was not participating. The tragedy experienced by the Nolan family became the impetus for his campaign to address the dangers of drag racing and the nuisance they cause in our communities.
