"We couldn’t see what was happening because they were lighting fireworks off, and it was a plume of smoke."The drift racing meet-ups spanned several locations, including Miller Place, Sound Beach, Shirley, and Patchogue. Surveillance cameras were damaged, and tire marks still scarred the roads. One video even shows an ambulance struggling to get through an intersection.
