Those against street racing...in here

[Espresso]

I saw the arguement in the GT section about street racing.
Well for those of you who think it's bad, why not do something about it?

I agree racing belongs on the track. And tracks should be available for all to use at a reasonalbe cost![8)]

Tracks are nice but the closest one to me is over 2 hours away.

I am a high school student, and lost a friend to illegal street racing. Please don't do it, racing belongs on the track.

Thanks Espresso. I'll check that site out. [?]

Good site, Expresso, thanks.

The track nearest to where I live is 1.5 hours away. However, if I wanted to race my car then that's where I would go. [8D]

You may need to define what is "Street racing" for the context of this thread. Two cars pulling away hard from a light up to about 5 miles over the limit and then backing off is a milder example. Two cars driving at high speeds, passing the normal flow, changing lanes, squeeling around corners, first one home, up the stairs and under the covers would be at the other end of the scale.

I dont need to define anything. If you even remotely think street racing is OK, then dont go to the site & dont respond to this one.
This wont turn into a grade school pissing match like the thread in the GT section.
This is for people who do not condone racing on the streets.

I did the "Two cars pulling away hard from a light up to about 5 miles over the limit and then backing off" thing a few times. Then I started noticing that the other guy didn't know he was supposed to back off at around 65 MPH and did some stupid things.

You may be smart enough to back off, but the other guy may be thinking it's a race to 120 MPH. Also, it doesn't matter how good you are. There are just too many unknown variables that could go wrong.

It's just not worth it for some ego trip. I'm now on the "street racing is always bad" side of this argument now.

Sorry to pop your bubble but you just did "define" with your hard tone.

I'm NOT pro street racing so don't aim your flame my way. I was merely suggesting you be clear for the other forum members, on where you are drawing your line in the sand.

Have a nice day.
