Idiot kid.

I'll admit, I street race... but this no experience having kid had no business doing it, especially given the conditions when he did it.

This is one of the reason WHY we strictly don't allow (encourage) street racing posts.

You referred to him as a "no experience having kid".....that INFERS then that you think there is such a thing as an "experienced street racing person"...which in itself infers further that you think an experienced street racing person has some legitimate business being in the street for racing purposes...

Well I hate to interrupt your leap of logic you have going but there, numb-nuts, but there IS NO SUCH THING as an "experienced street racer" because you cannot predict how the innocent drivers sharing the road with the racers are going to react.

^ I was waiting to see who would jump on that.

I'm SO glad you jumped on this.

1. There IS such a thing as a street racer with experience. I have PLENTY of experience. Well over 100 drag passes (in the Evo alone) and over 3 seasons of auto-x, three years of running in the mountains, etc. Of course none of this is gonna mitigate what other drivers on the road will do, which is why...

2. I DO NOT race in areas with ANY kind of traffic (that's the **** idiots do). We make absolutely sure there's no traffic before we run. Anything that might HAPPEN to come by is well known since there's there's only 2 ways onto the street (one on each end) and we have cars posted to let us know. On top of that, we race in the middle of the night (anywhere from 12-3) to further limit the chance of traffic. I remember once in the past 3 years a car came down our road while we were there.

3. We don't roll out like some big ricer rice-fest... we go out with about 10 cars MAX. We also don't take idiots that don't know how to control their car with us.

4. Find me an alternative.

If you're going to straight line race.. do it on a track.

I'm sorry I could care less how "careful" you are. Don't get me wrong I've done the same thing in my day. Although I look back and see how stupid it was. Take it to a track, if you can afford the mods, you can afford the track. Just my personal opinion.

It takes no "driving" skill what so ever to go in a straight line. Sorry but it's true.

A real track takes skill, if you are good it will show. Have fun there man it's the best kind of fun, legally lol.

I'm done my /rant lol. I just hope people listen to what I preach lol.. That's what it comes down too.
