Stop using logic....its illogical.
In all seriousness - he has a point. It only takes one error on your behalf or any other person's. Of course I think we would all be lying to ourselves if we got on our high horse and said that we have never done it. I admit that there is a road me and my friends occasionally race on. It's straight, no bumps, three miles long with no entrances/exits or sideroads and most importantly - NO homes or traffic. You can see from end to end and we have a quarter mile measured out in the middle of the stretch. The only people risking it is the people who choose to be there. If your going to do it, that is the "safest" way. Even then there is always a risk.
My track is 2 hours away and is almost double the amount the other guy posted. But...it sure beats wrecking my ride and potentially hurting myself or others.
I think law enforcement should take a better approach to street racing (and people with modified cars in general). It can never be stopped, but I hear some cities the cops go to the local drag races and challenge other kids. How cool would it be to race against a cop and smoke smokey?
Around where I live, the cops know who have the cars and keep a mental list of who has them. And then they harass the shiat out of you. It gets old reeaal quick. I have been to court personally over 15 times for exhaust "violations". Never been found guilty, yet it was the same 3-4 cops who were always pulling me over. You think the cops ever pull over a Harley with loud pipes? Psssh. And don't give me that "loud pipes save lives" bullshiat...I'm a motorcycle owner too. It's that kind of stuff that breeds the "us versus them" mentality. Ooops, I digress. I'll shut up now.
