Just checking to see what the boundries of your common sense are...

I am stating that there is a time an place for everything...it is not a matter of people streetracing or not it is a matter of how smart they are...where they choose to have said contests of speed...with tracks closing due to sound ordinances, pollution, whatever street racing is only going to get worse...contrary to popular belief you can create a controlled enviornment on the street...this allows for racers and spectators to enjoy themselves...possibly make a little cash and of course see who is faster...as stated I have been a street racer for a long time...in a controlled street enviornment (we use a 2 mile strech in an old industrial park) I have never seen an accident...the main issue is since street racing is such a generic term many other things get lumped into this catagory...like the guy doing 100+ on the beltway during rushhour, or the two idiots running redlights at speed through busy intersections, etc. There are safty margins you can build into any situation...the ability and restraint to do that comes from age/expierence
