that was another thing i was curious about, i can see that he would be charged for the other guys death (even though technically it was the lambos fault since he was the one that went into the other lane) but the guy in the lambo should be fully held responsible for his own death, no one put a gun to his head and made him race. I dont care how much he was egged on, it was his own choice to race the vette.

street racing? whats that? Im pretty sure its pretty much dead in nj, theres some light battles here and there, but the setup nights are pretty low key to almost extinct. I know nothing bout that there street racing you say though

Unless you are in a controlled enviroment such as the track, street racing is not safe! Just because there are no other vehicles around doesnt mean you cant loose control and hit trees other something else.
One innocent person is dead because of 2 poor decisions by 2 people. one has 5-15 to think about it and the other one, well he wont get the chance to think ever again. So i dont care how safe you say it can be, its not.

The tough part is not enough tracks around. $15-20 to get in and spend 3-4 hours racing twice if your lucky. There needs to be more tracks around.

I hear you on that man, I wish there was more tracks around. Sometimes I goto E-town, but mostly maple grove b/c you get alot of runs.

Well im sorry but when you grace...i mean embarras, our forum with idiocy like this

I cant help but be amazed. You are the president of your so-called club, you should be the one setting an example for your peers, but you have the nerve to ask moronic questions about something you know is illegal and wrong. How can people take you seriously, even your actions aside, the name of your club makes you guys look like a bunch of street racers.

Im sure I can dig deeper and find more of your threads, but I have made my point as it is.

99% of people on here street race. I know I have. I also know how to handle a car. That is only half of it. Knowing were and when to race is the other half. Some people just have bad judgement. That is why stuff like this happens.

You will not see me weaving through rush hour traffic to race another car. You WILL see me hitting 180mph+ on a fairly empty road if someone wants to step up.

I street race, I'm not dead, I'v yet to kill anyone else. I think it'll stay that way.

[sherwood]

i hope it stays that way! idk what i would do without you on tst haha

Sad story, but the guy in the corvette wasn't the one who lost control, went in to oncoming traffic, and made the cars crash. The guy in the lambo could have just as easily been screwing around by himself, racing no other cars, and done the same thing. The wifes testimony, "The corvette driver egged him on", please, they are grown ass men. Way to put the blame on the other person (in a time of grief I'm sure this happens too often). It's unfortunate that two people had to lose their lives, in a stupid act of idiocy or not.

Still, street racing is stupid, reckless, unsafe, etc. etc. etc.

[turboman808]

Think we all have a different idea of what street racing is. Basically to me anything done outside of a race track is street racing.

That being said I buy nice cars to have fun with. I don't buy them to impress others. I buy them to get out and have fun driving way to fast.

Now this doesn't mean I am a reckless driver. I don't put my car beyond 90% on the street but at 90% you can still get alot of enjoyment out of it.

Also unless you are out at 3am on empty roads you will probably never see me street racing. I wait until the roads are empty and I can get out by myself. I almost never get into races with others mainly because you don't know the drivers skill level. twice I have seen unskilled drivers try to stay with me and eat a gaurd rail. So I will back off and let them go.

All I can say about people who would race in highly populated areas and risk other peoples lives should get a beat down and there cars ****ed up.

That can happen that the track too. You know that little waiver you sign, yeah that basically says we are not responceable if you die, or get injured. No matter if your on the track on on the street its a dangerous sport you can be sitting at the tree next to a 10 second car, or some idiot and he could loose it and blast right into you. There is controlled organized street racing, and there is fast and the furious street racing aka (south philly) I use to, but i was alot younger, and the cars were alot slower. Now its with people i know in a organized location area far faaar away from anything. No idiots

Setup racing is the best. Its controlled, and trust me it goes on. Its just all of the retards, and slower cars dont know about it. People are more understanding of what they drive, they have respect for the power there making, and do it as safely as possible, just like you would at the track. I cant stand the track half the time because when your acually trying to tune a car, and make shake down runs... you get 2-3 passes. Sometimes thats nowhere near enough to get a car tuned, setup for making a great pass. Then you add in 15 or so dollars, 50 dollars in race gas. Thats why i do alot of this so called street racing, then maybe go to the track when she seems in check.

Im not really for street racing unless its on some street out in the boondocks where you know noone is gonna be around.
