Speaking of dui's,If you get busted for one and admit guilt and incriminate yourself by taking the breathalizer you lose you license for 6 months,but you are able to obtain a hardship lisence like 60 days into your suspension,but if you get busted street racing,automatically you lose your license for a year but then again,you just take the driver improvement class and get a hardship lisence like days after your court date.

and i think street racing deaths in tampa is like rated lower than deaths caused by old people not paying attention or 16 year old blonde chicks in suburbans.

i don't think building a track will help street racing. a lot of people like running from a 40+mph roll, can't do that at the track. look at all the street racing in tampa.

Street racing isnt as dangerous as people think. Injuries and deaths ocure when people are standing on the side of the road infront of where a race is begninning.. And two kids racing through traffic and over railroads isnt racing its being fucking stupid.

Most people on this forum participate in organized street racing, and you know what we are smart about it, to they point of if we are going to wreck we are going to take ourselves out and no one else. Its exactly the same situation as a drag track, 2 cars, no obstacles, no people. If done right its just as safe as any track, period.

they need to stop worrying about them kids racing and start to worry about the gangs and gang related deaths they have out there.... they figure since alot of street racers are out there to have fun and hang out they bust em... let those cops put effort into busting the folk nation or piru nation out in LA..... i bet they wont.....

"just as dangerous?"
The understatment of a lifetime.

Drunk drivers kill 25,000 annually.
Street racers kill a few hundred.

8 whole people? Wow, I'll bet thats like...almost as many as have probalyu died in L.A. from auto-erotic aspxyhiation (self induced choking while masturbating)

...Maybe not, but serious - more people than that die of STDs, lets crack down on that, or drugs, or DUI, or alcohol on its own! What a buncha fucking jackoffs.

yeah if I was going to get pulled over, knew my car was going to
be crushed AND my license revoked AND my insurance rediculously
increased, running doesn't sound like a bad option

what alot of these people don't understand is there's a difference
between 2 cars running on a deserted road and 2 retards playing
2f2f in a residential zone

Would be much more effective if they crushed the people with their cars.
