[quote="rhythmnsmoke"]because it's illegal, people already assume import drivers are a bunch of jagoffs

same reason legitimate hotrodders won't associate with musclecar guys.

Good to see young folks have common sense.

I used to streetrace bigtime 7 years ago until I got carjacked at the streetraces and people were shooting others and stabbing and crap. The people associated with streetracing are scum IMO.
I like to see somebody who thinks they are fast on the street, slap them on a real ractrack and sit back and laugh.

TCpete

it use to be fun... until all the fkn thugs and theives got into it.. now it sucks... and its not the same as it was years ago...

i thank F&F movies for screwing it up for EVERYONE...

Exactly. This is why street racing is inherently stupid. You don't know what kind of experiences the other person has. For instance, I can assume that you're a terrible driver, since you've given me no reason to believe otherwise. And likewise - you don't know me, so what can you assume?

Your Germany example - they do a lot of classwork and fine people for not maintaining their cars so everyone has at least passable driving skills. What do they do in the U.S.? Drive around the block, parallel park - hey, you're a legal operator of a several ton vehicle!

believe me if all a person has done is drive on the street, they don't have experience. They may think they do, but they don't. You don't learn about driving ( hard) until you have spent many hours all out on a road course. And that's not an opinion that's a fact.

that's exactly why they created dragstrips around 50 years ago.

But you are. What quantifiable evidence do you have to prove you know how to drive? cause you raced some kids in a straight line?
Age doesn't denote maturity... demeanor and actions do. You defending street-racing with your non-sensical arguments are proof you are no better than the F&F crowd.

Captain Obvious has joined the thread ladies and gentlemen.
And the fact that you are even arguing this point shows your mentality (and maturity level).

Just because you have a kid doesn't make you responsible (or an adult).

"heard", which denotes you have no ACTUAL experience, therefore you are accepting what others have told you. Hence, you have very little to support your claims.

and for the record, a good portion of the Autobahn is speed limited.

And those who risk my health with their own idiocy are spoken to about it.

Last I checked, a medium is pretty stationary. Oh... if you drove there without having some kind of gate to block others from entering, you are still on a public road!

What's interesting is how you defend an activity usually reserved for high school students.

btw, in the 40s-50s, there weren't 300 million registered passenger vehicles... more people driving... hmmm... making the practice far more moronic.

saying "everyone who street races is bad or dangerous" is akin to saying "all asians are bad drivers".... as much as it seems that way sometimes, its not true.

there are plenty of smart, responsible street racers who know when to and not to race, and when to lift off, and when to hit the brakes....

The only smart, responsible street racers I know, are the ones that don't race on the street, but take it to the track instead.

SePaTc

kid, first of all, you're 19.....u really don't know as much as u think.

and 2nd....if they're not racing on the street, they're not street racers, are they? i know u knew that.

I bet you hate all black people too, because you saw on the news a black person who shot someone. right? good logic.

Do you feel like a big boy, now that you've made it known that I'm merely 19? If my age wasn't publicly displayed, you wouldn't know the difference, and you wouldn't be able to pull the age card out and wave it in everyone's face. "Oh, he's only a teenager! How immature, stupid, and naive he must be." Right. Great argument you've got there.

Street racing is stupid, irresponsible, and regardless of whether it's on an "empty" road or not, the road is still public, so there is always the inherent danger of putting someone else's life at risk. Like myself, and many others have said thus far in this thread: Save it for the track.

I think every here can agree that street racing is stupid. That doesn't mean we* don't do it. Street racing is stupid, so is drinking, so is smoking (anything but food), so are a lot of things, but they all happen EVERY SINGLE DAY IN EVERY** CITY IN THE US! That doesn't make it right.

*doesn't admit to, or deny street racing, merely acknowledges that it happens, and there are a lot of ppl (in # not %) on s/l that do street race.
**or at least most of them
