Touge Underground - Home Page

This isn't for the faint of heart. Street racing has been around since the 1940's when prohabition was the law and moonshiners smuggled the then illegal whiskey across state lines also known as rum-running. These rum runners hopped up their cars with bigger engines, superchargers, tunning their suspensions to go faster and carry more weight, and evading the police while doing so. While rum-running is just a piece of history, the underground street racing scene is very much alive. It has become a way of life, a culture that is world wide. "Normal" people frown upon us, peers view us as local heros, police view us as public enemies. From Japans windy and technical Touges where precision driving meets precision machines, to Finlands hilly and dangerously fast dirt roads where AWD turbo's are king, to america's half-mile straights by day/quarter mile dragstrips by night meet detroit muscle and some of the sickest street cars ever to tear up pavement!!

This is our culture, our way of life. We have gasoline in our veins, and oil in our guts, and for us, there is no other way.
