I live in San Diego and the day before yesterday down in Chula Vista there were three kids in a raced out car and they decided to race a pickup raced out with all the baja fenders and that stupid ****. Well to make a long story short two of the kids in the car are dead, never gonna race again, three are seriously injured. The kids in the car lost control and hit a minivan. Now if I was the person in the minivan, INNOCENT bystander, and I was just cruisin along minding my own business and that happened you can bet that I would be suing the **** out of the family of the STUPID kids. So why is street racing bad? Well if you want to leave your family and loved ones with not only the pain of your death but all the legal **** that will come along with it then have fun. Or wait what if you don't die and you just kill your friends then how will you feel? TAKE IT TO THE TRACK!!!!!!! Why take it to a track? It is a more controled situation. Oh side note the people in the minivan are suing.

and then there are the 0.2% of the people here like pedrito that think street racing is cool and should be done at every chance they get. keep it on the track people, honestly, it's not that hard to find a track SOMEWHERE, unless you live in the middle of NOWHERE.

okay Lets get oneone thing straight not everyone that street races are idiots. Some of us that do have enough common sense to take it to a back road or a place that isn't crowed. Just because some fool has to mess up doesn't mean that everyone is like that. So if you don't mind think twice before you call

<< Street racing is for idiots!!!! >>

.

For everyone that does street race keep it real and keep it safe.

Yes everyone that street races is an idiot. You never know what could happen. If you like to race that much you can take it to a track where it is a more controlled situation and there are no innocent bystanders.

Street racers endanger not only their own lives, but also the lives of every other motorist on the road. I've been known to let people slide for serious traffic violations (everyone makes mistakes...) but street racing is not something the police take lightly at all. The cost of an impound, arrest, fines, attorney, etc., far outweigh that of going to the track.

- i'll admit i street race but not every chance i get. i never instigate a race but i wont back down from a challenge.
- hopefully when the gateway raceway opens up for the summer, i'll be down for a some legal street racing. plus i can check my 1/4 times. that's all that really matters to me.

I think street racing is fine when traffic is light and doesn't exceed 60-70mph. Lights that have 2 lanes that merge into 1 are perfect. You get about 100 yards to race and speeds only reach like 60-70. Nobody has wanted to race my slow little vic but when I had an accord v6, someone was always wanting to play.

people have many diffrent views of street racing. i think it is telling a guy to meet you at a light to race. i just mess around with other people, like rev at a light, take off fast, but never to exced 60mph. i may act crazy but not stupid. and you should never drive fast in traffic. people just need to use a little more common sence

thats why you do it at 1 or 2 in the morning, on a 4 lane road, with just you and one other car...unless your a sh!tty driver how do you crash on a straight-away with no traffic. but i agree, ya'all should keep it to the tracks...including myself[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

I know a guy who was in his friends car(a pontiac grand am) and he had his dead friend in his lap after he lost control and hit a lightpole. NO LIE![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG] He was ok, besides a broken leg. I couldn't believe his pal died in a big car like a grand am but they were like goin' 85 and hit a pole. Street racing is dumb as hell.

People with track cars keep it at the track. people with street cars can do either in my opinion. When i race street I dont do it just anywahere there are special roads I go on that are dead. Theres a 20 foot divider between traffic going opposite ways and usually after 11 -12 at night in the warm months these roads are dead (beach roads) and all winter there dead. NO BYSTANDERS. When we race only a driver in each car. If you wanna play games and do 120 on a road with othewr people and be stupid then street racing aint cool. i dont know bout anyone else but the closet track is at least 2 hours away. Ill hit the track with my pro street camaro when I get it but my import will never hit the track. By the was for those who dont like my opinion you can kiss my [IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG]

Ok guys.....Street racing is DANGEROUS! You can kill yourself, family, friends and innocent bystanders!
I personally LOVE streetracing though.....but you have to be SMART abou it.
Go to the right streets at the right time, use your wisdom and skills when driving and dont do anything stupid cuz i know you will be crying when your baby civic is totaled!
Be safe but still have HELLA FUN with your civics!!

The thing with street racing is, you may think everything is under control - but if shjt ever does happen (and it never happens when people are expecting it to), you may end up regretting it for the rest of your life. Let's all use some maturity and keep it at the track.

TRacks if everyone lived near one like all you street racing haters and didn't have to drive 2 or 3 hrs to get to it.
then maybe tracks would be
but not everyone can get to one as easily as all you so get real ! ! !
Street racing is dangerous so is track racing anything can happen when you least expect it no matter where you race....
peace
