The most notorious group to be associated with street racing was the {{wp|Mid Night Club}} who gave street racing worldwide attention with its 300km/h antics. It was known for its high standards and organization until they were disbanded in 1999 following a fatal accident involving a group of {{wp|Bōsōzoku}}. The expressway racing scene is portrayed in the manga ''{{wp|Wangan Midnight}}'' (formerly serialized in a manga magazine of [[Shōgakukan]] for short periods before moving out), as well as in the movie series [[:wp:Megalopolis Expressway Trial|Shuto Kousoku Trial]]. | The most notorious group to be associated with street racing was the {{wp|Mid Night Club}} who gave street racing worldwide attention with its 300km/h antics.
