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......

If I had a track near by that cost $25 to run, I'd do it every singal weekend. The problem with street racing is that most of the poeple doing it are retards, and they get hurt doing stupid stuff. I hardly ever race over 80, and never race over 100mph. There's no point, it's a quarter mile. Don't anyone try to tell me that a Celica GT can do better than a 100mph in a quarter. If your going to turn, do in on a track. I never try to autocross on the roads. You always do have to watch the other guy, even when he's yoru friend. I've never had an accident, but I've been racing things (motorcycles, go-carts, fourwheelers, now cars) sence the begining of my life. I'll never slow down till I'm died. And I hope I die in my car, that would be the best place.
