I've read some of this thread... got to it too late and its already 4 pages...
Here's my opinion on this whole matter:
I read a comment about going there to hang out with "friends". Are you aware of there's plenty of other places between Tampa and Tampa Bay to hang out with friends even at that time of the night? Those friends could also meet up with you somewhere else and you can see "cars" somewhere else.
The point of those bridges and its been the point for years is people street racing. You can't hide the obvious, you read about it in War Stories... you see the video's in the Video Forum. So I see it as more then hanging out with friends. Some of you who mentioned that, some or if not one of your friends you are there to watch him/her street race. Don't even try to say I'm wrong because I can run a list of S/N's that go out to these places and are friends with you that do infact street race on those bridges.
There's a lot going on Saturday nights on those bridges... from fights, people talking shit, people being drunk (some even under age), street racing and so fourth. I don't even have to go to know and I never will go to know. You hear about it almost every week somewhere on TR. It's ridiculous and it seems like every week or every other week something is going down.
Tampa Racing doesn't condone street racing but yet has some members as Moderators who street race. It's obvious... again War Stories and/or Video's Forum you can find some in there. Agreed TR staff cannot control the actions of the rest of the staff but yet that doesn't look right.
Street racing is here, always been here, its been around for generations. Whether you think your doing it safe... it's never safe... no matter if the road is clear, nobody is around, etc.
As far as the problem as a whole, the problem is there... your around the problem... don't help resolve the problem in anyway then you are part of the problem.
Point is there's better places, much safer places to be at on a Saturday night. Why be around the problem? The excuse of you need to be there because friends are there is a pety excuse. You and your friends can hang out somewhere else and talk about the same stuff you would there. Point is as of right now and as everyone has been seeing these bridges are not a safe place to be at period.
