Yes, hard acceleration is fun. Being thrown back in the seat is a cool feeling. Drag racing is not stupid. I like a fast driver's sport, you like a fast car's sport - that's fine. I'm probably going to do some drag racing this year.

But don't ever mention street racing here. It is stupid. There are certainly times when speeding isn't dangerous, or at least not dangerous to anyone but yourself. But most street racing - maybe not you, but in general - is putting other drivers in danger. No matter how fun it is (I'm not denying that it's a rush, especially with a sleeper) it's an irresponsible and stpuid thing to do. If you lose it and hit a mom driving home to her kids, how are you going to feel? On public roads your only concerns should be the safety of others, and yourself. I have no problem if people want to do risky things, but putting innocent people at risk is horrible. Don't argue about how you only do it when it's safe - you can't possibly know that it is 100% safe all the time, and the point is that most street racers don't try to make it safe for others. That's why we don't talk about it here. It's absolutely unnaceptable behavior, and I will call in anyone I see street racing to the cops if given the chance. There are people on the roads that I love, and I want them to be safe. Drunk driving, street racing, and otherwise not being 100% in control when driving will not get you anywhere you want to be.




I see your point in this. but.....
Would u really call the cops if you saw people racing??
Wow don't come to SE michigan, the cops would get sick of u calling every friday and saturday night every 2to3 mins.

Just when i travel to school 3 days a week. I have an average of 8 poeple a week trying to race me on the e-way!!

I reject your reality and substitute my own.
