Street Racing Aftermath

[Jakey]

Well with the Spring season peeking its head around the corner rather quickly, street racing will probably begin to show up as more disscussed topic again. I've never been one to really promote or oppose street racing, but with the horror stories of street racing showing up and more and more, I'm definitely starting to rethink any sort of support I've ever had for street racing. Especially after my latest reading......Looky (http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=102040)

Makes me sad to even think I've attended street races...

Please think fifty times, not twice, before racing on city streets.

Fuckin punks, I have been a street racer since before I could drive, watchin my buddies tinker with their hondas trying to get a little more horse, but unlike some people we have 'moral rules'

We race late at night, in the country, most often on abandoned roads, or roads by my friends houses where we can block it off. There are reasons, you dont just start racing in the middle of town, espescially it raises attention and is more dangerous than any of us care to risk. Again its the few that will ruin it for everyone else. If I was that guy, those two would be toast. If she comes out of it anything less than perfect, you would find me going down the street with a flamethrower until I found them. I hope he makes them pay.

Has anyone heard of any local (Minnesota) street racing accidents?

down here in missouri there are a lot of crotch rocket accedents, street racing has kind of died down here. our track is open three days a week, so no one feels the need to do it. and im talking about fast cars, the hondas still race but they never get to the speed limit before the next light anyways.

Use your heads, it's not worth it. I've been into performance cars, wether building or racing them since I could drive and I have rarely ever raced anybody on the street. But unlike Raptor, I didn't have to start out on the Model T ;) . The few times I had street raced, we were out in an isolated area on a long country road with no cross roads at 3:00 in the morning. But in a crowded city area it's just :slap: "STUPID" :slap: . These days are hard on the street scene because of the stupidity people have in regards to other peoples safety. That's why law enforcement is cracking down on it. Take it to the track and play it safe. The few dollars it cost to get into the track are alot less than the fines, towing, impound, lawyer fees, etc. you will pay if you get caught. Hell if you are racing for money, make the looser pay the entrance fee ;) .

her car isn't even damaged that much, i've seen worse accidents where the people walked away. was she wearing a seatbelt? if she wasn't then i don't feel sorry for her, it's her own fault for nosing out into a yellow light anyway.

but it does suck to get hurt, so i gotta recognize.

yeah that is why i dont street race and people in winona didnt disrespect me for that because me jake dsmstyle dsmchick and a few others remember how close a friend of ours in his car went off the road and was exremely lucky. plus here in winona last year two people took it into their own hands to do a street race near the town and one person was killed because of their accident.

Read it again, he said the racers ran a red light trying to beat the yellow.

Quite a few actually, and most have caused deaths.
