Have I ever punched it? Certainly. Punching it is not street racing. This thread is about street racing, not punching it on an entrance ramp. Am I a hippocrit for telling someone that they should not speed? Probably. Am I a hippocrit for telling someone that street racing is wrong? No way! I never said you should not speed....only came out against street racing.

People do change. We were all young. There are probably things I used to do when I was young and dumb that I don't do today. There are refromed drug users and smokers who also work to get people to quit. Does that make that person worng? Certainly not. People do change. When I was young and stupid there were a few things that I did behind the wheel where I am lucky to be alive today. But, I grew up. But in my days, we did not street race like kids are doing today.

One last thing, we can all be tempted by speed. Having a fast car requires a great deal of restraint and maturity. There is a reason why young people pay more for insurance. We all need to help eachother avoid these temptations.

If you think you or anyone has a right to street race and think it is fine, then state your point. Let's just be sure we are talking about street racing.
