A man records himself while hanging out of the passenger side of a car doing donuts in a parking lot near the corner of Summer Avenue and White Station Road. Less than an hour after being chased away by Memphis police officers, the speeders returned to taking turns drifting in the empty parking lot. (Patrick Lantrip/The Daily Memphian file)
