The organization specializes in acting as a mediator that creates viable and sustainable solutions for people to take racing off the street and onto the race track while engaging local law enforcement, government, and education into a favorable outcome for the entire community. [1][2]HistoryThe organization was founded in 2003 by Bryan Harrison as a result of the defunct efforts of many motorsports associations and organizations to reduce the street racing problem. [3]Whereas many organizations focused only on events to solve the illegal street racing problem, Evo looks to solve the problem on and off the track as their representatives go into the environment where the acts take place.[4] Since Evo’s inception their efforts have been received as an organization that works towards unifying all the affected parties into a comprehensive unified action plan.[5] Illegal street racers look to Evo for their understanding of the street and how to transform/represent their interests onto the track, the motorsports industry (member tracks from the IHRA, NHRA, NASCAR, SCCA) utilizes Evo for their knowledge in reaching a new generation of patrons, and community officials seek their assistance on the most effective measures to reduce the problem [6]As a result of their local and global efforts Evo has been featured on many media outlets including, Good Morning America, National Public Radio (NPR), ESPN, and CNN.[7] Their main program is entitled the "Evolution Solution". The three major stages or goals of the program are: [8]
The organization offers a large database of topics relating to illegal street racing including; accidents, statistics, legislation, enforcement techniques, photo galleries, and general news. Their research department also runs a range of studies covering topics such as illegal street racing terminology, locations, fatalities, and incidence.[9] In addition to the specific solutions to the illegal street racing problem Evo runs a motorsports event called "Beat the Badge". The event features an opportunity to race against police officers in their active cruisers, a grudge match, a test and tune, and an afterdark race. The parent company of Evo Street Racers, Street Scene Revolution, also operates another racing event which is focused towards the street scene called the "Super Bowl of Street Racing".[10] References1. ^{{cite web | last = | first = | authorlink = Evo Street Racers Communications Dept. | coauthors = | title = Evo Street Racers About | work = | publisher = Evo Street Racers | date = 2004-06-12 | url = https://www.evostreetracers.com/about.html | doi = | accessdate = 2009-09-24}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Evo Street Racers}}2. ^http://charlotteparent.com/Articles/Archives/ArchiveArticle.aspx?cid=876&aid=876 3. ^{{cite web | last = | first = | authorlink = ANDREA CANNING, MELLEN O'KEEFE and IMAEYEN IBANGA | coauthors = | title = Fast and Furious Drag Racing Often Dangerous: One Organization Offers Regulated Track to Simulate The Rush | work = | publisher = ABC Good Morning America | date = 2008-02-18 | url = http://media.abcnews.com/GMA/Story?id=4303081&page=2 | format = | doi = | accessdate = 2009-09-23}} 4. ^{{cite news| url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/01/nyregion/nyregionspecial2/01racenj.html | work=The New York Times | title=Track Offers Alternative to Street Racing | first=Dara-Lyn | last=Shrager | date=2008-06-01 | accessdate=2010-05-02}} 5. ^http://www.dumbdrum.com/death-street-racing-pt2/ 6. ^{{cite web | last = | first = | authorlink = Debbie Elliot | coauthors = | title = Deadly Crash Sheds Light on Illegal Race Circuit | work = | publisher = National Public Radio | date = 2008-02-16 | url = https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=19168301&ft=1&f=1003 | format = | doi = | accessdate = 2009-09-24}} 7. ^http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=3604944 8. ^{{cite web | last = | first = | authorlink = Evo Communications Dept | coauthors = | title = Evolution Solution | work = | publisher = Evo Street Racers | date = 2008-04-27 | url = https://www.evostreetracers.com/Evolution_Solution.html | doi = | accessdate = 2009-09-23}} 9. ^https://www.evostreetracers.com/legislation.html 10. ^http://www.superbowlofstreetracing.com/ 4 : Auto racing organizations in the United States|Drag racing|Hazardous motor vehicle activities|2003 establishments in the United States |
