Come on guy... what is your speed limit 75? that is the only way you'll get home at the same time as if you were going 85.... Come on, we all remember the math problems from elementary.... if bill and mandy both go from point a to b, who gets there faster if bill goes 85mph and mandy does 60??


Anyways... its true that taking it to the track is the best way to do it, but not many places have a track next to a local hangout. I agree that street racing is dangerous, and that you shouldnt put innocent people in danger. But there are "safe" places to run it where there is noone.
