Anyway thats just my opinion .

Agreed. While I don't condone street racing, I don't see how banning all talk would help. Street racing has been around since Henry Ford built and sold his first car. It's just as illegal and immature to drive one mile per hour over the speed limit, or driving too fast in the snow or rain, or cutting people off because you're about to miss a turn, or tailgating someone because they're driving too slow, blah blah blah.


Point is, people do dumb things on the road everyday. No forum is going to ban that because people are people. Again, while I don't condone the act and while I see what you're getting at, I just don't see how a ban on it is going to help. Not that it's going to hurt although it's totally possible it could go either way. But people race each other in the Wal-Mart parking lot for a parking spot.....
