I think the attraction might start closer to home. Whenever I see facebook albums of old friends of mine in PR at the track in PR, its always filled with imports and bikes. Only every once in a while will I see a new mustang or an old muscle car. And I remember back when I was living there, it was a pretty rare occurance to see/hear a V8 car out in the streets. Most cars out on the street were the small economical type. This was maybe 10 years ago, not sure if anything's changed.
