First, thanks for taking the time to send me an e-mail.

I had absolutely no intention of depicting Tamparacing.com in a bad light. I never once said Tamparacing.com condones street racing nor implied that. However, there are users on the site that do speak about street racing—and the story was about street racing.

I’ve never heard of the positive aspects of street racing before, unless you speak of the camaraderie among friends or showing off what’s under the hood of a car, which I included in the story.

Also, we have written several stories about track events last year. (See below) We have not written about every single track event, and we can’t write about every single track event. But I did include Tampa police’s desire to implement a similar program like Race Legal in San Diego.

Once again, no one is saying Tamparacing.com condones street racing. But feel free to send me information about track events that Tamparacing.com will be having in advance if you want them possibly publicized in the paper or online.

Best,

Mari
