Moves are afoot to ban boy racers from the Tauranga area after a high speed smash left a youth dead.
Scott Jarrod Finn, aged 20, was killed when he was struck by a car during an illegal boy racer event in an industrial area of Mt Maunganui early yesterday morning.
Two teenagers, aged 16 and 18, have been charged with the manslaughter of Mr Finn who was reportedly hit by a car travelling at up to 160km/h.
About 100 boy racers last night staged a driveby past the accident scene.
Tauranga Mayor Stuart Crosby told Radio New Zealand today that boy racers gathered in groups of up to 100 in industrial areas around Mt Maunganui and Papamoa making them impossible to manage.
