A man named Moe says he captures the weekly gatherings across the Bronx.
He spoke with New 12 to discuss why the gatherings continue to happen.
"We don't like to hurt nobody. We go to a place that is empty and do what we do. We have fun... drift around and stuff," he said.
Moe called the gatherings "harmless."
Neighbors in Throgs Neck tell News 12 the sound of cars doing donuts wakes them up in the middle of the night.
"1 a.m. on a Sunday, on a Monday... not even on the weekend," said longtime resident, Melissa.
"Crowds of people are in the back with all their cars, as soon as they see the cops they cut out," said another resident Debbie.
Moe said he is aware their gatherings are illegal.
News 12 asked why they continue to meet up.
"We love cars, we just love cars... if something happens, you're going to go to jail, but at the same time, we do it in a safe place, you know? There's no cars, no traffic, no kids," said Moe.
Moe is calling for secure, legal places for these groups to gather.
Neighbors are calling for the meetups to end.
