Boulder neighbors are sounding the alarm after hundreds of drivers came together for illegal street racing Saturday night. The Boulder Police Department said there were anywhere from 250 to 400 cars in a parking lot off 30th and Iris. Boulder PD said the group was there for about an hour and a half. Officers cited a handful of drivers for traffic infractions but a 'decent number of vehicles' fled from police, a spokesperson told Denver7 on Monday.

Walker Mattingly lives in Boulder near Foothills Highway. He has noticed that street racing has become more prominent in the area recently. “You can hear it, you know, from blocks and blocks away,' Mattingly said. “Something needs to be done about that.”In a social media post on X, formerly Twitter, Boulder PD said it will continue working with the Denver metro-wide street racing task force to address the issue.
