True however, for rice rocket pilots its more of a matter that they will wreck their car. Around here there's a lot of windy roads, I happen to be surrounded by them. I've been able to hit a maximum speed of like 90km/h before having to slow down again for a hairpin or a tight 2nd gear corner. I know people who have gone faster and ditched their car. Hell, I've even wrecked a car driving on them at the speed limit in the rain. Its pretty technical and pretty tough to actually race on.

There's less of a chance that they will go as fast as the people in this story must've been going because they know they have to take the next corner and that the roads are riddled with bumps or are even unpaven. But its probably the least fatal place to race, if you're ever going to race.

The desert though... I can imagine that would be fatal. If you hit a bump and rolled the car around a bit, it would be ages until people found your body, but of course its a straight line so kids with 600BHP hondas will go there and systematically remove all the ricer-genes from the gene pool.

I'll take you up on that amendment too.

That was pretty dumb. What irresponsible twits. Its a good thing she removed herself from the gene pool the only problem was that she took innocent people with her.

Although street racing is bad, there should be at least 3 rules of street racing (for those stupid enough to get involved):
1) Don't bother doing it. It's just stupid and really just says "yeah, my **** is little"
2) If your judgment is so poor as to allow you to think it's a good idea to actually engage in, then your judgment is too poor to allow you to assess a situation to be safe or unsafe.
3) If you're still an asshat and still think it's a good idea as a way to appease your burning need to prove your worth, take it to a track.
all of the people involved broke all 3

Feel free to amend the rules

HAHAHAHA agreed. However I am going to assume all of these people couldn't even afford the track fee. Hell their cars are probably being paid with welfare cheques
