No it won't, there will always be stupid people. The only benefit is that these people don't live long enough to take other innocent people with them.

sd is a nice place to race cuz its quiet and no cars at night but there is a point when something tells u to stop but i guess these people got too carried away.. oh and not saying bad things about the people that died but they are making it bad for us. cops are going to be watching us more and following us more.

WTF are rolling dips? I'm imagining a buncha little hills so you go up and down up and down quickly but not harshly...am I wrong?

Also keep it on the track if you are racing others. There is a difference between speeding and racing....when I speed I concentrate on the cars around me as well as the street, I can plan my routes of escape if I need to while going 90+ but you also have to think about possible things that you may not expect....

I got yanked by CHP the other night on the 405 for doing 90....which is hardly an unsafe speed since our freeway systems are made purposfully to handle 100+ mph safely, the only thing that makes it dangerous are other drivers not paying attention...anyway, people just need to know how to handle their cars and know the area where they speed. Just because your car is a 10 second car doesn't mean you have the skills to get it that 1/4 mile in 10 seconds safely.

Damn that sucks, I hadnt heard anything about that.

And two men went on trial this week for a street-race crash that killed Shanna Jump and Brian Hanson, both 19, in San Diego last October. Their passenger, Hanson's brother Michael, suffered brain damage.
FYI - The Jump case is being taped by court tv.

hahaha my friend races his Camaro. he raced some supercharged Mustang GT and got OWN3D. He raced some Jeep Cherokee with the hardcore Cali lift on it. He only races when there is no traffic ahead of him. He gets pissed off when I dont race. Like I'll rev on some Mustang GT and if I dont floor it he will say I dont do **** and yada yada. Its funny that everytime he races, the cops arent around. But the one time he was speeding (52 in a 45), he got a ticket.

I raced him in his toyota pickup going up to Alpine. We were going uphill after that one bridge and his truck is stick. hahaha. I beat him up it at 85. This other time we went uphill going the other way and I ended up after getting over the hill, going 100. haha. That was the day 2 hot chicks in a 5th gen coupe sped up as well to catch up and when I tried to race them, I got stuck behind the car in front of me.
