If you plan on street racing dont have another person in the car...I have seen too many passengers killed by driver mistakes

on the other side of things you should NEVER give a 16yr old kid a decent sports car unless they have had classes on how to drive one

No kidding! From the looks of it, they should have had to have been life-flighted out. They need to make some regular appearances in church for a while...

So you're saying street racing is ok, at least as long as 16 year-olds have classes?

Two different thoughts

1. if taking your life into your own hands don't bring a passenger

2. dont give little kids big kid cars

as for street racing I have done it since I was 18 and had been a spectator since 14...so I don't see a lot of issue with it but you must be smart about it...we used to race out in an industiral park...from about 11pm-5am on fridays and saturdays...the only people there were us

Don't disagree with either point. These however:

So, as long as you've done it, it's ok? Have you ever killed someone? Would that make murder ok?

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

That is nuts, he could he killed someone, I don't think street racing is ever ok in public, hopefully this teaches him a lesson!
