If you don't want criticism for your stupidity, go to another forum where everyone sugar coats everything and has no regard for your safety and the safety of others.

I think a lot of it plays into where you live too, to be honest...
I try to behave... but I don't really see the harm in it, given the circumstances.
In country areas there's sometimes a lotta straight roads with flat empty field on either side, where you can see a mile in all directions, etc etc...
if it's abundantly clear that you can't hurt anyone else, it seems a lot different... I know I talk to some of you on here who frown upon it... and I totally agree.. but it happens I guess... I think the biggest reason people will street race in 'dangerous areas' is because of the "Thrill of getting away" with shit.... it's just like people who think their cool because the smoke pot... they feel like their getting away with something, so like it more for that.

On another note, I can't wait until I can bring my car to a track... I think I should prolly make it track worthy first though...

How does it usually work for track strips? Is it like $10 an hour, and you can run it as many times as you can get yourself lined up for? or?

Even though you made a dumb remark about how you thought it makes more sense to you to street race than to pay to go to the track....at least you're being civilized about things after people made you aware of what's really up with street racing.

I'm being honest too when i say i don't read EVERY word of agreements when i'm installing sofware or signin-up to boards etc......i'm a human being.

I just wanted to give you props for not being a dink about things. Good job man.

when you are street racing even if you don't hurt anyone, if you lose control or have a mechanical failure...this is what happens...

RSX vs. 5 Bens's
Hmm someone care to give the bg on what happened here?

Yes, accidents happen at the track. The difference is that it doesn't involve a soccer mom with her three kids going to mcdonalds or a parking lot full of MBs.

soccer moms are the most dangerous things on the streets, not street racing...

I'd probably be glad if I took out a soccer mom.
Lol, totally just kidding.

I really wish I could see some of the stupid assed street racing examples some of you come up with, becuase it seems like racing around here is pretty controlled... like people only seem to do it around factories and shit... i dunno.
