The people that were involved in the failed Bay Area Racing proposed movie that I've uncovered included Nick Higgins ("Higgins Built") and the founder of Bay Area Racing, Dean Hodel. The whereabouts on the two are still unknown, however, Hodel has not disclosed where Bay Area Racing's headquarters are. Bay Area Racing has been involved in illegal activity a few years ago in Stockton on Pershing Avenue as highlighted by a FOX station in Sacramento and confirmed via their social media and YouTube accounts, which Bay Area Racing accused the FOX station of falsified information. NBC Bay Area, however, also highlighted two women who took part in a racing scheme that landed the two ladies in jail. NBC's video was unedited on Bay Area Racing's YouTube page unlike the FOX station in Sacramento.
Deeper into my research, from sources that I could not identify, Dean Hodel was trying to find a suitable location where vehicles can be raced legally, but so far has yet to find one. It was unclear whether Bay Area Racing (likely based in Alameda County?) or Fearless Muscle (based in Fresno) were involved in a massive sideshow in Oakland that caught the attention of all Bay Area television stations, as well as the California Highway Patrol, who it's Oakland office had to deal with protests in downtown Oakland at the time.
But sometime into the making of the Bay Area Racing movie, Hodel got into an argument with Cesar Perez, according to social media posts by Bay Area Racing. Hodel accused Perez of lying about the timeline and falsified promises according to unknown internal sources inside Bay Area Racing. Since the failed attempt of the Bay Area Racing movie, Perez has made his own vlogs by number, some of which highlighted illegal activity that is not allowed in the State of California per state law. As some of Perez's vlogs are shot in the state of Hawaii, I reached out to that state on social media to get answers regarding sideshows and illegal activities there, but got no response. The state of Hawaii has no such provisions about illegal activities involving sideshows unlike the state of California. A section of the state of California I researched on the state's Department of Motor Vehicle's website addressed concerns specifically related to sideshows.
In my own investigation, the Stockton Police Department chief originally sent a strong message to those people visiting their city, warning them that they are not welcome to do illegal activities including sideshows. However, potential illegal activities are what I found on social media, which is not posted on this blog for safety reasons. I viewed KCRA 3's Melinda Meza report on sideshows and images showed the Stockton Police Department impounding vehicles from their city, as well as in Sacramento and Modesto (and possibly Oakland and San Jose). As of yet, it remains unclear whether the Stockton Police Department will pursue Nick Higgins and Dean Hodel, and if so, what charges may be filed against them. I was unable to get any answers from either Higgins or Hodel.
Assaults against law enforcement officers seem to be the norm for some people associated with Bay Area Racing and Fearless Muscle, who the latter claims that they are from the Bay Area. Some of them were highlighted in Stanley Robert's report known as "People Behaving Badly." The decision as to whether any law enforcement from Sacramento and Stockton to Oakland and San Jose will pursue those illegal activities is left up to the individual agency. The charges will be very serious and could end up spending a significant amount of time in jail, depending on the seriousness of the offense.
But as for the planned events by Perez, I only learned about the event on various social media channels by users just before the blog was written, particularly those who reposted some of his content notifying his/her friends about an upcoming event using the hashtag.
Fortunately for me, I do not attend any events that involve illegal activities, including street racing and sideshows. I remain scared about potential illegal activities that could wake neighbors up in the middle of the night, which is why no images nor snippets from social media will be posted in this blog.
