Everyone on the track takes the risk willingly, while random people in the streets do not. |
I don't know what you are talking about, everyone who walks the sidewalks of Texas take risks when I am in the area. |

I don't think street racing is right, and those who get cause should get fined, but for those who have nutthing to do with it, and are just watching or happen to be near it, get ticketed i think thats bs. |
Difference being my wife and kids arent going down the strip when somebody wipes them out. The two ppl going down the strip accepted the risk of bieng injured or kill, my family did not.
Street racing is stupid, hell I dont even race light to light even though Im not speeding. Just not worth taking someone elses life over "I got a bigger BLANK" Thats what street racing is to me, ego. I run into it all the time when Im in my stang or my Caddy. LOL, just today some dude in a Lightning pickup tried getting my wife to race him in our caddy. Idiots. lol |

To be honest, I rarely speed. I do 10 over the speed limit but other than that, no. I have on a couple occasions gone faster, but that has been done in areas where there just wasnt anyone. I had more of a chance of hitting a cow than hitting a car. |
