Cobb County Neighbors Say Street Racers Are Taking Over Austell Road, Leaving Residents Fearful and Sleep-Deprived 

#wqeb973newz | Marietta,GA-🚨 Residents in Cobb County say illegal street racing has become a nightly problem along Austell Road, with engines roaring from late evening into the early morning hours.

Neighbors say racers have been taking over the roadway for months, leaving families unable to sleep and worried about their safety. Some residents say they’re afraid to speak publicly out of concern for retaliation.

One neighbor recorded dozens of videos showing the activity, but police say the footage was taken too far away from the roadway to identify those involved. Authorities say they have not received formal complaints but plan to investigate the concerns.

Do you think stronger enforcement is needed to crack down on street racing? 🏎️🚔
