how can you even agree in the slightest that racing in an industrial area away from the public is fine? street racing in any fashion is wrong and i agree....good riddance.

Ok,,you've stated your opinion like you do in 100% of the posts on this board..now support it. Give me a reason why it is so morally wrong to go in a secluded area and race away from the public? </font>[/QUOTE]because its against the law. if you want to go to a scheduled area, away from the public, go to the track. thats exactly what it is. that way if you wreck, you already have an ambulance ready. OMG, you'd have to pay alittle bit of money, so what. you get to race your friends and find out what your car really runs. th only thing i see street racing representing is the urge to show to a complete stranger that your better than him. might as well flop it out and start measuring. i'd like to know what you think a "industrial area away from the public" is

Wow, safe answer there. Did you know it's also against the law to drink alcohol under the age of 21 (excluding communion in churches)? I have a feeling you've done that before...just a guess. There are hundreds of laws..do you obey them all?

I would like to hear another reason from you if you don't mind. You don't have to respond if you don't want to.

When I say an 'industrial aread away from the public' I mean just that. Long stretches of lighted road with minimal traffic.

actually, however suprising it is, i dont great drunk or high. i am very embarrassed to say that i have tried JD and some type of beer before, quicky got ahold of myself and havent looked back since. everyone breaks laws but this law in my opinion was put forth for those that religiously street race. i have street raced before, ofcourse, many times and thankfully i got past that. other reasons for going to the track....not sure i have any right now. i tried to get everything in that one post.

Edit: i know when i was allowed to go to the track, i stopped street racing and as you can tell, have since gotten a strong opinion against illegal racing

I wonder how many innocent people are killed by a teen drinking with his buddies? Hey, did you hear about that family that was killed by the teen that drank himself to death? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Apples and Oranges....

However, on your comment about the industrial area, someone would be held liable for the death of an inexperienced "racer" who didn't have on the proper safety gear who hit (insert random object here) and took out 30 bystanders. There's reasons for everything. The track's the only safe place to race, due to the nature of it (trained personnel, tech inspections, safety requirements, properly prepared track, etc.)

Not trying to be a jerk, just putting in my .02 ;)

you know, i wonder how many times i could go to the track with the money to pay for one street racing ticket. that would be hundreds of runs compared to one that i got pulled over for

[95Batmobile]

BLLDOGG just so you know, the nearest track to me is 45 minutes away with NO TRAFFIC, is only a ****ing 1/8th mile, AND it is 45 ****in dollars to race! That's not a "little bit of money" ...

Plus, in my home town, we tried to get the airport open for us to race at since they never ****in use the thing and they wouldn't let us. Even if we signed waivers so the city could not be held responsible, volunteer medical assisstance.. THEY DONT SUPPORT DRAG RACING PERIOD.

You're in here talking about how unsafe it is, yet you're just as bad as the rest of us. On top of that, you say you beat **** you can't even beat! Does this look familiar from the SRT-4 post?

wtf is that? Stop being a bloody hypocrite.

[BLLDOGG]

my track is also 45min to an hour away with light traffic. im sorry it costs so much but racing tickets cost more. i cant help it those i raced and beat cant drive. maybe thats why they arent at the track. is that why your not racing there? i am not a hypocrite. if i was still racing, then yes, but i havnt raced in awhile and so your insult has no ground. thanks for bring in a cheap worthless and [img]graemlins/bs.gif[/img] insult into a good conversation. dont be an *** just cause you dont support what i say

[Camaro_SLP]

I agree the track is a safe/great place to race. But there is absolutley no reason to destroy someones car for street racing.

Here's some more bizzare Apples to oranges.. ;)

Destroy someones home for cooking meth/growing any kind of drug..someone could break in and die from the substances.

Destroy someones bicycle for causing a car accident in traffic.

Obviously those examples are silly..but you can't always resolve a problem by 'destroying' it..

[BLLDOGG]

as far as i know, you have to destroy the house cause the deadly fumes stay in the walls and can kill later occupants

[Camaro_SLP]

You think if someone in an appartment complex cooks meth in their room, they are going to tear down the entire building?

[BLLDOGG]

maybe. i dont know the health code laws and such

it guess if it was a large building. they would gut the area of the lab and rebuild :\

No.
Cigarette smoke is one of the worst actually, and it is just painted over.

My previous post was only to make you realize that destroying thousands of dollars in property for 1 offense is effing rediculous.

[BLLDOGG]

yeah, well it sucks. smoking should be banned too [img]tongue.gif[/img] current smokers should have to register so they arent fined and so the new offenders shoulb be punished like weed smokers. crazy thought huh?

EVERYTHING SHOULD BE BANNED :D

If someone gets caught driving under the influence, I think the car should be repoed and crushed, the driver should spend 5 years in jail for doing that, and have his license taken away for 10 years.

If a kid under the age of 18 gets caught going more than 10 miles past the speed limit, his license should be taken away til they turn 21, obviously they are not mature enough to drive and need more growing up to do.
Just my two cents. [img]smile.gif[/img]
