It's probably the same thing the guy said in the pictures too

Let's put this in perspective. When it comes to street racing, everyone says they know what they are doing. While I'm sure we have all done it at some point in our lives, we lived through it and enjoyed the thrill. Now, the fact that remains unattended is the fact that you don't know what the other person's capabilities are. If you're racing and going 100mph, it doesn't take a big hit or something to that effect to make you lose control of your car and wipe out a whole entire block or so. The thing that has to be considered is that you never know. While I am sure we are all aware of our surroundings when we race, just keep in mind that no matter how prepared you may be, someone out there will prove you wrong and God forbid, cause harm on to you or others.

One!

I have to agree with elcotrolube. I also go by a saying "death is certain, life is not" so I think you should enjoy your life but that does not mean you do not have to be safe for yourself and also others. :licker:

Good God,

Have you guys seen those pics?

Street racing is illegal, and I'm glad that there has been a crackdown on import cars with massive amounts of mods. Although, i some day hope to own a SHOW CAR, not a street racing Prelude. I've driven 100mph on a str8t back road where i live. I know what I'm doing, but i mean, god, it makes me sick to my stomach looking at how badly mangled up that one dude got from that accident in that pic...


:apuke: :help:

Another wasted life from street racing... tsk tsk tsk.



i wonder what the other guy in the jetta was thinking after this all happened... must've been freaked out and will never race again.

[Miltown_Racer]

gave me a second thought about racing...it's friday and usually this is when it all happens...i'll call it a quit....thanx for the infos y'all...

Just dont do anything real stupid and be very careful! I would never race during in bad conditions or on a very busy street, thats just stupid. But if some car rolls up and starts revin on me, it looks to be safe and I know that theres not much danger from there to the next stop light I will go. Theres no resisting the rush of street racing...

If I ever Street race, if I havn't beaten them by 2nd gear then I stop.. that is over 60mph and trouble..

On the highway, it is different... if it is something I really want to beat.. then it's on... if I am getting beaten Slow down.

I try to take it easy.. but EVO's spur me on and get me pumping..
I had a go with an EVO 1, it was damn close.. heavy traffic..
Afterwards I was being chased by people on cellphones..

I think it is bad to streetrace, but out on a deserted country road.. not so bad.

I do love to do it legelly though. But so many people dont come..

[cefiroman]

cell phones damn man u look'n for trouble and dont even know it...haha just jk'n... :alien: :eshooter:

[GTS-4 Ben]

Yeah I was a bit worried. The guy was behind me readng my plate (it is hard to read). So I pulled out of the traffic. He followed, so I nailed it in and out of traffic and got away from him. I looked at him though, he was some pathetic old bastard.. couldn't look back.

I try not to do that to often.. if a cop saw it.. i would be in jail.

I don't race on busy streets. I'm usually the one who gives the challenge, but its just to ricers and other people who think they have fast cars. I would never do it where im going like 60 in a 40 and theres heavy traffic where id need to be weaving in and out of traffic. also i agree with gts-4ben, i usually stop at 60 cause by then the people know that they aren't fast. There has only be one time where i went more than that in a street race, but this was was late on a divided highway with no other cars besides me and the 3.2 TL.

Street racing is always dangerous it should not be, but we are all guilty of it once in our life. Just remember it only takes one time.
