Naif, an Indonesian band from Jakarta, immortalized "street car racing tradition" in one of it's popular songs: "Mobil Balap" (literally "Racecar"). Here is the song:¹

Mobil Balap

Ku pernah punya mobil balap sendiri
Yang bisa ngebut di jalanan tiap hari
Ku tidak pernah merasakan kesepian
Tak ada gadis yang menolak diantarkan

Asoy geboy ngebut di jalanan ibukota
Dipayungi lampu kota di sekitar kita

Suatu hari ada orang yang menantang
Gairah sembalapku makin tak tertahan
Kubalap dia dari kiri banting kanan
Tak kumelihat kuterobos lampu merah

Tiba-tiba pak pulisi datang menghampiri
Kutancap gas dengan maksud melarikan diri

Akhirnya ku menabrak pohon yang melintang
Tolong dong pak… Tolong dong pak, jangan ditilang
SIM pun tak ada STNK entah ke mana
Dan hingga kini ku berada di tahanan

This is my simple translation of the song.

Car Racing

Once I had my own racing car
Which can raced on the streets every day
I never felt lonely
No girl would be refused me

Asoy geboy driving fast on the streets of the capital
City lights around covered us

One day there was a man who challenge me
My passion was increasingly unbearable
I race him from left to right
I didn't see anything, I drive through the red light

Suddenly Mr. Policeman came over
I tried to run away from him

Finally, I hit a crossed tree
Please, sir ... Please, sir, don't give me speeding ticket
I didn't even have driver's license
And now I should be put behind bars
