Re: Street Race...T.T

LOL, yes what I said were "if's" and "maybe's". Same thing goes for street racing or anything else.


Point is that something bad could happen no matter what you are doing. And unfortunatly no matter how many bad cases there are, no matter how hard you try to crub the direction of some folks it all comes down to whether or not they want to change.

Re: Street Race...T.T

worry about the people on the cell phone and painting they're toe nails while driving, or the people driving while intoxicated...

Re: Street Race...T.T

Listen, if you want a good discussion on street racing and why it's bad, go talk to some cops then. You're just going to get the same results over and over here. I've seen it over and over again in this same thread in just the past three pages.

In closing, this thread itself should be closed. It's not really going anywhere other than to one huge argument that isn't needed. End of discussion.

Re: Street Race...T.T

Excerpt from post #1
Quote:
Why street race? I don't get it couldn't you guys just take it to some local track or something? I am just totally against street racing
Excerpt from post #2
Quote:
you know guys, i also enjoyed street racing forsome time now. I know why most of you guys do it, but after all the events and the risk of getting F* by the cops I'm just saying isn't it better just going to the strip? I feel more safe, and I have more fun when I am at the strip. I feel the same rush as when I was street racing. thats all.
Excerpt from post #3
Quote:
As I said already, I am here to discuss the reasons why the current street racers keep going out in the streets. The reason that I am doing this is because I am writing a 15 page essay on this topic. I am sorry if I got some people angry with my posts, but that wasn't my intention. I just wanted to have a discussion. And if you are still pissed at my posts, then I suggest you don't read it. =) thanks
Wouldn't it have been a little better (and maybe a little less hypocritical) to explain all of the above on the very first post instead of making us sort of beat it out of you? Yes I agree there is a certain safety factor racing at the track, problem is a lot of tracks got closed so like whats already been stated more than once, sometimes going to the track is not an option, and yes it is really not a cheap date for the amount of runs you get if the track is busy, but people also get seriously hurt or killed at a track too, not necessarily the driver either.

Granted the situation with the little girl and her mother that has been reitterated many times definitely should not of happened and was bad judgement by the people involved but those types of people are the ones that put this activity in the limelight and the object of public scorn, a lot of the people here are a little more responsible and aware of the consequences.

If you read a lot of the stories in this forum, most likely it is about events that occur usually on a freeway, or a highway, but hardly city streets, every once in a great while here do you read stories about there being heavy traffic or weaving around other vehicles like running a slalom course, but really those posts are few and far between. And you can bet the posts here that describe those types of circumstances also get the flaming like you got from your post so there are 2 sides of the coin when it comes to this subject.
