I would love to hear how street racing is legal Jake

I would love to hear that on any given road that nothing can happen , maybe in tim buk too but seriously in conditions that are uncontrolled unlike a track event, which is 99.9% controlable, I would love your explanation on how nothing can happen

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.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
