Street racing is only dangerous if you're not smart about it. I raced every weekend for three years and only witnessed two accidents. One was a guy in an rx8 lost control when he hit sand going around a corner( he was later found to he high on shrooms). The other was two idiots in cavaliers that weren't actually associated with the scene but happened to be weaving in and out of each other try to show off to us and one cliped the other and sent him into a poll. Yes you always hear about how street racing kills and we have to end it. Tell ya what maybe if people had legal places to go and race we wouldn't do it on the road. I really hate to bang on about this but crap like this really pushes my buttons. If you don't want to be associated with people who race go buy a Prius or a mini van.

So everyone else on the road is sol as you guys weave through traffic at insane speeds? Don't tell me that street racers always race on wide-open, deserted roads with zero traffic because that is simply not true.
Don't get me wrong, I did a lot of stupid things behind the wheel when I was younger...things that I wouldn't do now out of consideration for the other people on the road and my own family. As you grow older, you start to see the bigger picture...
