For full features; Go to would people race on the streets ?
Before i could Drive i always saw street racers out. alot of times i would
watch them drag race down the street or sometimes drift. well now, racers
around me don't race any more. me and a few of my friends are the only ones
with balls to race. people with bigger motors than me and i know will beat
me never want to race either. it's deperessing. i understand that i could
get in trouble, big time. but that doesn't really bother me. racing is fun.
i'm sure any one could agree. i just wish people would race on the streets
again. i see alot of rice around with no get-up. i only got some mods but
my car isn't that bad. for any one who reads this thank you for letting me
rant. i just find it sad that the only place i can race is on a track, and
i could never keep up. but track racers did say that if i had a fast enough
car i would be able to win a couple. so they don't doubt my skill and know
around a car. any ways.. i just want to know that there are street racers
still out there, runnin the streets.

The biggest problem I see with street racing is that most people that do it
do not think about the fact that there are innocent people around that you
could hurt. Just last week there was street race in Charlotte that ended
killing 2 people. You have to know your surrounding! Pick the right place
and time. And most people out there do not understand this.
And another little known fact, did you know that if you are caught you will
loose your car? It amazes me how few people I talk to that know this.
Be Safe!

My main problem with street racers is that most of them don't even know how
to drive properly and are thus a danger to the general population. Coupled
to that the fact that they race on normal highways where there are other
road users around at that time and its inevitable that accidents happen.
Track days imo are alot more fun as you can push your car right to the
limit without the fear of cops as well as causing danger to other road
users. The forces you experience when driving on the track is night and
day(even for a stock 1400cc Peugeot) compared to driving on the road. I
also managed to drive a few laps around Donnington Park last year and I
must say it beats street racing any day.

Street racing is for punks who don't want to find out that their 12 second
Civic actually runs 15s. Occasionally punching it off the light can be fun.
Street racing, however, is retarded.

Street racers have small willies...Nuff said.

With all insults aside, I recently managed to co-drive on a scatter rally
organised by a local motorclub. I thoroughly recommend doing this as its a
lot of fun driving along country roads looking for clues whilst keeping an
eye on the clock and map.

Well, I could not see any street races when I was in US but when I had gone
to India and Srilanka, I have seen huge racings.... there people do not
know how to drive... they never follow the rules etc etc, those cause huge
accidenets.... Actually, the buses are on race there.....

On Clarkson's Motorworld the driving test in India consists of driving down
a road with a few bends and that's it! Definately not for the feint
hearted driving in India - I rather use an elephant to get around.

About 10Mi out of town we have an abandoned Military Base were we turned a
Landing strip into a drag strip lol. We've also been working on a drift
course

if you pulled up to me and wanted to race and there was no bacon around
with a fairly clear street, ABSOLUTELY :laughing: , i know it can be
dangerous but there comes a risk with everything and the question is how
well do you know your limits?

Hello,
you know street racing is a form of illegal auto racing, which takes place
on public roads. it can be spontaneous or well planned coordinated.
Main issue is with the peoples who are residing in that street or some what
near to that, mostly kids they are just roaming in the street, or playing
their got affected, sometimes they injured.
so i suppose street race organise with a proper manner, and having
scheduled like people knows earlier and be sure no ones have affected with
your enjoy.
Enjoy But Don't Disappoint Any One!!!
Have a nice time a head!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone knowing driving thinks that he is the most perfect and skilled
driver on the street but it is just a miss-thinking. Driving safe is more
important than driving fast. I never concentrate upon the racing my car on
maximum limit, though I know a can drive much faster. Why? Because someone
wants me back safe.

There should be many top racing athletes in your India!

Lol maybe but only 1 driver has made it to Formula 1. I guess they like to
keep it to the streets. Another problem with organised street racing is
that it attracts car thieves. I saw on a news clip that they will spot a
car they want and follow them home.

go to Kosovska Mitrovica (Kosovo-Serbia, Balkans) and witness "Mitrovica
roulet" because this is probably the most dangerous and craziest race in
the world:banghead: :laughing:

"Racing is like sex, all men like to think they're good at it." It's only
natural for people to want to compete at something like driving. Not
everybody can do it in controlled environments, so instead, they do
something stupid, which makes it all the more interesting.

Lol heard that on Top Gear last night, it's so true.

the whole street racing thing appeals to kids when their young untill they
see the financial part of what it costs to first off purchase a car, pay
for the parts, and then the ticket when they get caught. ha i'm not gonna
lie when i first got my licenses i thought my blazer was the fastest thing
on 4 wheels ha with my 4.3 vortec but 80 in a 65, a ticket, court costs,
points on my licenses, and ridiculous insurance on anything i try to buy
quickly made me realize that driving fast just isn't that cool ha, now i go
more or less for car audio.
btw- good call on the top gun quote ha
