Default How would illegal street racing be done safer?

Hey guys, I recently posted a thread on what are the pro's of illegal street racing and there are none. So i asked my teacher and she told me what can be done to illegal street racing to make it safer such as racing at the tracks and not endangering people's lives etc. My brain is not functioning when it comes to essay. If anyone can give me some alternatives on what can make it safer then please leave me a note aites.

thanks

How about hosted events. Having some police supervision (the cops could mark off parkin lots or streets) Dont have bystandards lining down the track. Make sure drivers are not DRUNK or STONED before launching. Make sure there are no curbs. Have rule (common sense stuff....some people seem to be lacking in this area)

Didn't we already go over this? 1st of all you are posting this in the wrong forum. 2ndly there is nothing positive about street racing. Just go to a sanctioned event.

:werd: tell your teacher shes a moron for thinking that ILLEGAL street racing could be safer, also tell her to please stop supporting that kind of mentality. write your report on how the only good kind of racing is done LEGALLY at the track.

1. Everyone is an experienced driver, and mature
2. No spectators on the sides of the road
3. Do it in the middle of nowhere, where there are no other people that can get into harms way...a place where there are no turnouts onto the road

It will never be as safe as track racing though.

agreed, or just race for the first 200 hundred feet. it is the high speeds that kill ppl unless of course you have one of those 700hp+ muscle cars and you cant control the launch.

Asking how street racing can be made safer is like asking how to make Russian roulette safer.
