At 3 a.m. in the morning going down Patterson Road or New Burger with all the residences that align the road are you honestly going to tell me it is a safe environment? No one on that road could possibly get in there car to go somewhere at any time of the night, right?

At the Bread Factory, 78th Street, Causeway at 3 a.m., Gandy at 2 a.m., 28th St at 2:30 a.m., or even an industrial road are you honestly going to tell me its safe? No truck driver, no employee, no person on their way home could possibly be out at that time right?

Racing is for "track" events. Even when streets are set up for a race like the St Pete Grand Prix or in Longbeach for the grand prix and drift events.

Anything else is simply wreckless driving period.

Unless everyone in a however many mile radius is notified of what is taking place on a Public, Private or Federally owned road or highway, then it is wreckless driving.

Only a sanctioned event deserves the name "race" in it.

All you guys think you're so special because nothing has happened to you because the spot you have picked is so safe ... yea ... okay ... I'll be looking for the posts of what happened and be sad that it did.

I have and had my stupid days, my stupid tempations, my stupid driving and fate has not had anything in for me but that doesn't mean it won't.
all of the above mentoined places are stupid to race at....thats why in L-Town we go out to the boonies where NOBODY is on the road except for the occasional truck driver wich you can see miles away and ge out of his way...im in no way trying to say street racing is legal and is a good idea...but why always blame an accident on racing? ive seen it so many times...what about when that guy cisco(sp?) got killed it was imediatley blamed on racing...untill they did the investigation and found out otherwise, i appologize to the friends or family of this person for using as an example but it was the only one standing out in my mind....

never said it was legal, and all these places your talking about are stupid to race at. Just stick to your road racing and leave the real racing to the REAL racers.

What a perfectly mature response.. bottom line is he was racing on the street. I've streetraced in the boondocks, no houses for 5miles in any direction, perfectly straight road with no streets to intersect it. I've since then grown out of that shit because I realized it was not very smart. Hopefully you will learn when your license gets taken away for a year or maybe someone close to you gets injured because of it. If you have enough money to mod and race your car you have enough money to go to the track or are you just too worried you'll choke the launch in the spotlights of the track.

How is it real racing if there aren't any turns? That's just an acceleration test...
