Thank you. The spike in street racing has police using a new tactic. Towing the vehicles instead of writing tickets. Some critics call that unfair. But cbs4 investigator Rick Sallinger shows us Police Believe it might save lives. Reporter we watched from camera. What was taking place here was not only dangerous, it was illegal. Its a sunday night ritual here along south federal boulevard. They just kind of bring their cars to maybe like show off what they have or something. But they start racing. Reporter when we first observed this parking lot at federal and arkansas, it was packed with crowds cheering on the spinning cars. How do you stop this activity . Well, i think you with enforcement. Reporter and that enforcement is designed to strike the racers where it hurts the most. When we returned, there were only two cars in the once crowded lot. Both police cars. The enforcement is much more than just stopping speeders and giving out tickets. Police are making good on that threat to tow and impound vehicles under the city of Denver Public nuisance law. Why are you towing this one . Federal. How fast do you think they were going . Faster than the speed limit. Reporter the cars or trucks are usually held for a month. To get them back, there are storage and civil fees that could run in the thousands of dollars. Plus criminal charges. In some cases, the vehicles are seized. I think its effective. I think its a deterrent for the type of activity that we used that against. Reporter we were told this truck was being removed after it was involved in a hit and run. These tow truck lot. Folks coming up here and want to spin the tires coming off the lights. Just trying to show off. Reporter several of those we talked with said they feel police are stopping cars for no good reason and they doubt the Enforcement Effort will bring street racing to an end. Its not stoppable. Why is it unstoppable . Its like trying to close a dealership down. Reporter the message from it didnt exactly come as a big surprise but the walt weiss era in denver is officially over. After four years as skipper, weiss stepping down today. His contract was up so stepping down probably just a matter of phrasing. The players seemed to like weiss a whole lot. Upper management, not so much. The rockies improved on the field this year albeit slightly. However, that wasnt enough to jeff bridich never really got on the same page. Bridich hoping thats not the issue with the next guy. Having a shared vision and being able to commit to that and being able to challenge each other on it and make sure that were holding each other accountable to that vision is extremely important. And thats a twoway street. I think walt and i worked on that for two years as i s there. Tonight centurylink poll question, how do you think weiss did as the rockies manager . 79 of you saying he did the best with what he had. Barry bonds time in miami certainly didnt last long. Bonds was fired from his position as marlins hitting coach today. He had the job for one season. Bonds not exactly a guy who brings the warm and fuzzies in to the clubhouse. Dont let that video fool you. Marlins werent exactly prolific at the plate either. Leagues in runs scored. Its the most talked about shoulder in the state of colorado. Trevor siemian listed as daytoday after straining his shoulder in sundays game. So let the quarterback drama begin, right . Maybe not. Gary kubiak saying he is the starting quarterback whether he will actually start on sunday, that we will have to wait and see. Trevor left the game just before halftime which means we got to see the rookie paxton lynch and he wasnt half bad. 170 yards and a touchdown. Certainly could have been worse. The broncos say with siemian. Were going to approach every week to get our best people on the field. Trevor is our starter. Were going to give him every opportunity to get him there on sunday. I was asked today could he play without a lot of practice . That would never be a problem for him because hes very bright. Well push to be as good as we can be against atlanta. We make decisions once we get to the end of the week. Monday night football, vikings and giants tonight. 2nd quarter, sam bradford going this one on ice. A 4yard touchdown run. 2410.

Western michigan and dayton planning to play a lacrosse game but lightning got in the way. Instead the two teams decided to play rock, paper, scissors to western michigan on the right won round one.
