Number plates have been for years already in some cities, since the early 90's in Chicago all messengers had to ride with a messenger no. and company no. strapped to your bag or take the risk of being ticketed.
Races like these are just a way of getting together at the end of the week after being treated like shit from most security guards, taxi drivers trying to run you down and just trying to get a decent number of runs throughout the week so you can pay your rent or your medical bills. Alleycats have been going on for years and years but still are basically for meeting folk from other companies, seeing whose on form, blowing off steam and having a drink. Lucas is just filming it, nothing will change, and messengers will continue to enjoy racing for fun and pride at the end of a hard week.
