hello to all of you. as a new member of this forum i have only one request to ask of everyone that is a member. please dont try to be a father figure to people on this website. if people want to race there cars on the street then thats what they are going to do. you can be as carefull as you possibly can be when your racing and not have a single thing happen to you all day long. but then on the way home when you are driveing nice and slow someone else that just plain and simply arent paying attention to what they are doing can hit you head on or something. also this is listed as a racing section of the forums so you are going to have plenty of people talking about getting into races on the streets. im not trying to sound like an a$$ hole here but i just hate going to forums and reading replys of people saying to be careful or you shouldnt be doing that or anything like that.

thanks

i didnt mean that as saying people shouldnt post stuff talking about it or anything like that. post whatever stories you want to post about on here. all im asking is that if you dont like hearing about streetracing or think its a good idea or anything then why do you even read threads about them. people have been street raceing for over 50 years or more. its not anything new. there isnt anything that can be said to warn people or to explain that it shouldnt be done that we havent all heard already. so why put people threw hearing the same thing over and over again. i dont care if people leave comments saying how someone cant drive or that guys an idiot or anything like that. i just know that i get tired of hearing it everytime someone says they raced in town or something like that and im sure im not the only person who feels this way.

apparently everyone is miss understanding what im saying a little bit. im not trying to sound like i approve of street raceing in town or in traffic im just saying that it happens. it actually causes alot less accidents then regular driveing accidents. the only reason people make such a big deal out of it is bc of the fact that it was racing. i know of an accident that happened on interstate 70 less than a year ago involving an ambulance. the ambulance was heading for the hospital with a pregnant mother in the back when all of a sudden the ambulance crossed the middle of the interstate into oncomeing traffic and caused a really bad accident. the driver of the ambulance was killed. bad accidents happen to everybody under some type of unfortunate situation. no accident ending in a death is fortunate. i just dont think that we need to hear everytime someone posts a toppic talking about how they got in a race in town. people either no how to be responsible about it or they dont. its just sometimes they dont find out that they dont know how to be responsible about it until its too late.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH INEVITABLEGOD for understanding what im sayin. oliver who ever said anything about being affended by anything. inevitable knows exactly what im saying. say you just subscibed to import tuner. and you start reading through and find a bunch of articles about trucks or about how much imports suck. would you want to read it anymore no. same thing hear. i want to read about racing not how its dangerous. if i wanted to hear about how dangerous driving and racing is i would go back to drivers ed and watch the videos again.

no it doesnt change my opinion on it. i never said that i race in downtown or in heavy traffic. when i do race i always make sure there is plenty of open space between me or anyone else. and yes i did read the entire story but this is how i look at things in life. if something is going to happen to you then its going to happen. there is nothing you can do to stop it. for example: you can go out to the most remote location in the world to race someone. once you reach lets say 80 mph and the guy in the left lane cuts a right front tire. guess what he is comeing after you wether you like it or not. so even in that situation it could turn bad. im not saying that people should be irresponsible and run the cars in down town.i forget who it was at the moment without looking that said they drove by that accident with the civic right after it happened and hasnt driven anywhere since. that is that persons choice but to me it doesnt make any since. bc if your going to look at life like that then you shouldnt leave your house bc you might get shot walking out the door for no reason. but then if you stay inside your house all the time it could burn down with you in it. things happen for a reason in this world. do you like it if someone tries to sit there and constantly talk to you about something you dont want to hear about. no. and as inevevitablegod said before this is a racing forum. its going to talk about street racing. so if you dont want to hear about it or you dont like it why are you in here. the story talks about how he made a bad mistake that doesnt bother me post all the stories you want i just dont like getting preached to thats all. ive seen friends of mine pass people on the shoulders of highways, go 3 wide down 2 lane roads and all kinds of other dumb stuff. but i dont let it affect my life. that is there choice and there mistake. doesnt mean im going to go out and do it also just bc nothing happened to them that time. i believe people should make there own mistakes and learn from them. its unfortunate that they have to learn from the cost of others but thats life.

thank you, i think finally after alot of obvious arguing people are starting to understand what im trying to say.....lol.

but as someone else mentioned previously (sorry my memory with names is horrible unless i go back and look but then i have to type this over again..lol) lets get back to talking about racing now. sorry to anyone that might have taken some of the way i was talking as being a prick. i didnt mean to come off that way.
