street racing is a bad idea. i have done it... but i stopped. i recently read this article in one of the tuner mags, and the pictures were gut wrenching. i just think it's a bad idea. innocent people shouldn't have to worry about a car flying across a median doing 100+ and killing them & their entire family. i have two friends who died earlier this year in a street race gone wrong... and one wasn't even in it. a buddy in an integra blew a tire @ 114 and spun into an intersection, strinking another friend's cavelier. he was sitting @ a light, and died. he never even saw the car coming. i'm engaged, and i don't wanna be @ any more risk than i need to. tracks are the way to go. controlled, (somewhat) safe environments. go to a track, wear a helmet... stay alive. it's that easy.
just like one of honda's dirtbike/motorcycle promotions says... "STUPID HURTS!"
whether it's on a highway, or a dark country road, it is dangerous. it's dangerous to others. it's dangerous to ourselves. i'm 17 years old... and i have decided to not street race ever again. i have too much to live for... as i'm sure most everyone around here does as well. i agree w/ previous statements... keep it on the track.
