Dangers of street racing.., reasons why.. Options

[pr_caralho]

My brother in laws brother has a beutiful 4th geneation Honda prelude with some performance mods on it and a h22 vtech with 200hp so on and so forth..... His friends (one with an srt-4 and a volkswagon golf gti) decided it would be cool to race each other, so they go for it. The prelude downshifts and he gives them a blast. He hits 130kms and starts to fishtail. He ends up spinning and eventually hits a sidewalk and starts to flip over. After the flips he slides upside down like 80 ft, his car at this point was damged from top to bottom. He's fine, luckily he was wearing his seatbelt otherwise he would've snapped his neck.... Goes to show you why these kids think they're Micheal Schumacher and its the reason why our insurance is screwing us in the ass continuously like theyre running out of lube......

all u guys are think that people that street race do it by themselves or atleast thats what it sounds liek to me. i go down to the local races on the weekends in seattle and all i know is that no car or person has every been standing in the middle of the road or driving when we race...i dont personally race cuz my car is slow...but i know we always have someone at the end of the track and the start of the track with walkie-talkies, also none of our track are even close to a main road except for every now and then we get semi-trucks coming thur. for the most part everone down there is parked on the other side of side walks and grass hills things like that, we are barley ever parked on the road when racing unless its behind the start. its fun and it helps me meet new people. also the roads we race on ar ehte same every week i can explain each one to u in depth if u asked. everyone knows there are no bumps

the whole thing about going to the track is it cost money 25 bucks a run might not seem alot to u but it is to me, also regulations dont let half the cars in to race, and it dose give the same feeling like street racing does.

Yes ill admit its not the safest thing to do but nether is driving in general, speeding also. You know not everything is safe in this world no matter how hard the soccer moms of the world try its never going to be. i could die walking down the street are u telling me not to. when i ue to go to the club my dad would say "why? all u are doing is asking for trouble, havent u heard of people dying there and this and that happing" yes i have but its fun and its a change from my extremly boring life. from schoo lto work to home is my life once a week i do something different and it keeps me sane.

im proable going ot get bashed for all this but oh well i said my peice
