I think there are a lot of hypocrites on here...saying street racing is bad! I would guess half those people would race or have raced when lined up next to another car wanting to race. Who actually tells the guy no, but I'll take it to the track if you want because street racing is bad! Now there is a time and place obviously and doing it in traffic or a highly populated place is just dumb, but out on a country road with nothing around I don't have a problem with that. I'm not sure what it costs to go to the track and I don't even know of one that's close to where I live but some people don't feel like throwing a bunch of money down for a few runs at a track every day. If this forum does decide to ban such threads I'll just go else where to read them.

The track by me has $10 days where you can run as many times as you want... If you are a real fanatic about cars, you would run there because saying I beat such and such a car doesn't mean crap because the other car could have a crappy driver. It like saying I beat Elmo in a vet or the Cookie Monster in a Camaro, just because they are in fast cars doesn't make them fast drivers. I think people street race more for the adrenaline than anything else. just my .02
