Sideshow
含义: An illegal street gathering where drivers perform stunts like donuts, burnouts, and drifting, typically in intersections.
Sideshows are a deeply rooted Bay Area tradition, particularly in Oakland and the East Bay. They involve drivers taking over intersections to do donuts and other car stunts while crowds watch, film, and cheer. Part car culture, part community event, sideshows are controversial — beloved by participants but criticized for danger and disruption.
