I love the track i wish i could go a lot, but it's far away and i don't go as often as i wish. None of my friends have died street racing although a few have been busted and throguh a good lawyer get off with minor fines... I'm not condoning i'm just giving you guys some of my age group's perspective. Also in high school many times the street races are like social events...one clique's leader thinks he's better than another clique's head asshole and both cliques cut class to go to a nearby road and anywhere from 10 to 150 people go to watch em race.... it is what happens a lot instead of fighting at our school. It's a massive social event and people go just cuz everyone else is.

Let me ask you a question....Do you have a girlfriend or wife? What if she was unavailable or out of town, but you wanted a piece of ass? Next time this happens tell her "hey look sweatie, I slept with your sister because you were too far away."
You kids need to grow up. The highways are not playgrounds and are not for racing no matter how far away a strip is.
I am very hard on street racing. Whenever I see it, I call the cops. I take down plates etc...whenever I can. My entire family was almost in a serious wreck a while back because of two racing idiots and I have no sympathy for those that race. You race and kill yourself, it is sad. You kill an inocent bystander, and it is real tragety.
If you street race, you don't deserve to drive a car.
Now, I do distinguish between spirited driving and street racing. Street racing is like porn. You really can't explain it, but I know what it is when I see it.
