Zero-Yon: In Japan, street racing sometimes occurs on long straights in industrial areas, which are used for drag races. These are known natively as 0-400m (meters) or Zero-Yon races. Yon is Japanese for "4".
Street racing is a form of unsanctioned and illegal motor racing which takes place on public roads. Street racing can either be spontaneous or well-planned and coordinated. Well coordinated races are planned in advance and often have people communicating via 2-way radio/citizens' band radio and using police scanners and GPS units to mark locations of local police hot spots. Street racing is reported to have originated prior to the 1930s due to alcohol prohibition in some parts of the United States.[citation needed] Opponents of street racing cite a lack of safety relative to sanctioned racing events, as well as legal repercussions arising from incidents, among street racing's drawbacks.
In Japan Street racers, known natively as hashiriya often occur on expressways and highways, where they are known as kosoku battle or commonly known as Roulette-zoku as they drive round and round in circular motions[26] and frequently occur on the Shuto Expressway in Tokyo. Japanese racers have also popularized racing along the narrow winding roads of the mountains of the country, known as Touge (portrayed in the manga/anime series Initial D).
