I had this argument with my mom.... when I was 16.
So I assume you have never street raced, never gone over the speed limit, never tailgated anyone, and you have the stock exhaust on your car??


Shut the fuck up you hypocrite.

Finally someone who speaks some sense.

I'm not saying you have to agree with me or street racing but some people are acting like I am beating their mother with a baseball bat.

I do have the stock exhaust on my car. Most aftermarket ones tend to rob power with my model.

I lived in Europe and have been convinced that speed alone does not kill, however I DO NOT tailgate, haven't street raced in longer than I can remember, and have a sack you can suck on.

Just ask the people in California right now that's homes are burnt to the ground. They sure thought they were smart and built far enough away from the forest not to ever worry about something like this happening. They too were wrong.

You can't use san dieago as a example, street racing is iresponsable, and iggnorant, having bad luck when a forest catches on fire, and the wind blows it on to your house are two different things. So when chicago caught on fire were they immmature and arrogant, or when earthquakes happen in tokyo, should they just up and leave japan, for being immature and arrogant? cuz thats what it sounds like your trying to say.

Its the same thing as getting completely drunk in your basement. WHO CARES???
There are a infinite number of things that could go wrong out there, But we'll start with the whole only the people racing geting hurt line. So if somebody was racing and got hurt, is EMS on the scene to assist immediately? How long would it take Fire and EMS to get there? Who's gonna call 911? Probably no-one right? Since your all enagaged in illegal street racing you'd all split the scene, leaving the racer to die. What kind of measures do you take to block the roads off from a possible motorist or pedestrians wandering into your little area? Anybody ride down the road looking for debris or trouble spots in the road before starting? There's problems beyond just not killing each other or some innocent bystander to take into account kid. But the simple fact you can't see beyond your own selfishness, is why you don't think what you are doing is dangerous to the public. Murphys Law doesn't care how sure you think you are nobody else will get hurt.

I use What happened in San Diego as a illustration to this kid, from that the residents thought they were relatively safe from the wildfires that often occur in CA. They believed precautions had been taken, and the Emergency Management Infrastructure would be able to quell any fires before they reached their community. They were not immature or arrogant to believe the chances were nil, as this kid seems to think with his streetracing in the middle of nowhere, but they seemed shocked when the unexpected happened. That's where my point paralleled. What happened to those people was a tragedy, but it shows that unexpected things can and will happen, even to those so certain that no risk exist.

There is no way an innocent bystander could enter this area without us knowing. We have people sitting at both ends. Yes someone takes a trip down the road before we start racing each time. If someone gets hurt while racing that is the risk you take. You keep saying this is dangerous to the public but yet the only people that could possibly get hurt and the ones willingly participating in it.

Ok so you are saying it would be ok for me to travel at 75mph in a 45mph zone for 5min, but accelerating from 0 to 1xx in less than 20 seconds and then slowing back down is somehow more dangerous???

If someone goes out to this spot by themselves and makes a test pass is that ok then??

I don't understand why you guys are getting so butt hurt about something that doesn't affect you.

About the street racing, I can see where your coming from that if it doesnt affect you why do you care. But theres always a chance something might go wrong and someone other then the racer could get hurt. Shit happens ya know? I mean look back at when the drag car crashed into a crowd of people, and that was a professional driver. Things happen some people cant control.

I don't like trying to make statements that apply to all circumstances. Americans like to do that, but it simply doesn't work. Some places that are 45mph are safe for speeds around 75, most are not. I really don't care about people putting themselves in positions that will only endanger and harm themselves. If people want to inhale toxic shit in their basement, they should be entitled to do so. However I still don't consider it responsible, just like street-racing.
