Anyone up for street racing? (newspaper article)

I certinaly hope not and just incase there are any idiots on this site that think that street racing is a good idea look at this article about a street racing accident that resulted in the death of 3 people in Maple Ridge BC. (aricle released today)

Be safe and take it to the track

I personally don't, but I know some people that do. I think its STUPID, and VERY dangerous. Keep it @ the track folks .

I edited your title to reflect what the post was about.

I think its even more sad when innocent people die. Out for a drive and WHAM some Ricer takes your life. The driver that left the scene is screwed when the Cops find him. Leaving the scene, careless driving causing death, racing, etc. He'll be someone's bitch in jail.

I have remorse for the driver of the Taurs, Her Husband and family, The Family of the passenger of the car, and all the bistanders that had to witness that tragity and have to have the nightmares of it when they close their eyes at night.

There is a time and a place for everything, if your going to race on the street find a remote secluded area to do it, there is a big difference from that and what those clowns did, they raced in the middle of an open area and went double the limit, and yes we do all speed, just like every other motorist I go 10-15 over, what you wont find me doing is doubling the limit, if I feel like "getting on it" ill do a run on an open stretch of road from maybe a stop upto 100, ie 100 in an 80. There is a big difference between that and going 120 in a 60. cars are modified because its a hobbie, because people take their cars to the track etc, thats a poor view to have and one shared by many outsiders who dont have a clue who think just because our honda is "fixed up" that we all are street racing thugs who steal engines and have 2 big bottles of nawss in the trunk. I dont have a problem with people who race far away from other cars, people motorists in a secure environment, people who are mature and know the limits of thier car and the road, but doubling the speed limit on a busy road is just being stupid, darwin got those fools, unfortunetly 2 other people had to perish.
