Evo Street Racers (commonly referred to as “Evo”) is a motorsports organization that assists in the evolution of illegal street racers into motorsports racers. 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.
The organization was founded in 2003 by Bryan Harrison as a result of the defunct efforts of many motorsports associations and organizations to reduce the problem.
Whereas many organizations focused only on events to solve the illegal street racing problem Evo solves the problem on and off the track as their representatives go into the environment where the act takes place.
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. 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 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.
Their main program is entitled the “Evolution Solution.” The three major stages/goals of the program are:
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.
In addition to the specific solutions to the illegal street racing problem Evo runs a motorsports event entitled “Beat the Badge.” The event features an opportunity to race against police officers in their active cruisers, a grudge match / test n 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 entitled Super Bowl of Street Racing.
