Another street racing crash

Street racing is so tempting but so dangerous. I have really calmed down with that. I never went to "gatherings" where there are crowds. I would only run a guy from a light if we both wanted it, but I am done with that too now. Too risky, too dangerous.

This stuff has gone on as long as there have been automobiles. My grandfather told me stories of Doty Road in the 1940's, my dad did Calumet Expressway before it opened in the 1960 era, I was on South Chicago Avenue, late 80's, made more than one Mustang payment courtesy of some unsuspecting slob out there...we can just hope to live through our own stupidity, I guess. And teach our kids athletics.
Well it sounds like the racing cars had nothing to do with the accident... almost sounds like the driver of the white sedan had intentionally driven into the crowd... *subscribing to thread*
We just had that other story about the dude that got hit, and when one guy spoke of taking him to a hospital some other moron shot and killed him. He got killed for trying to help!!
OK. Do you ever see people "racing" in traffic, or light to light, around corners things like that? Those people are idiots, and 99% of the time the ones getting hurt. They do it in plain daylight, tons of people/cars around, that is what pisses me off. Then you get all these people complaining about street racing. Do I feel sorry for the ones that are just driving along and get tagged by one of these losers? Of course I do, its a shame really. Do I feel sorry for the people driving when something like that happness? Not one bit. It is completely 100% their choice to do something retarded like that. There have been 3 or 4 crashes in my state within the past few months from "street racing", every time its some kid going 120 mph in traffic, going around a corner or something in his/her brand new wrx, audi, evo, whatever that mommy and daddy bought them and handed them the keys. Each of them has been 16 or 17 also. Who hasent street raced before? Everyone with a car that has any potential has, hell Ive powershifted the hell of off my g/f's ZX2 escort. If everyone did it the correct way, we would all just go to a track, but for some people the nearest one might be more then 2,3,4,5 hours+ away OR sdo it on the street CORRECTLY. Nobody I know does any of that traffic racing crap, there is always 0 cars and I mean nothing around and its not at 12 noon . Luckily they are trying to pass new laws in my state for kids that just started driving, even considering raising the age. There is also always talk off and on about building a track in CT, which hopefully will happen someday. It would clear up some street racing, bring money into whichever town they put it in and also even provide a few jobs.
:Track: ??? Yea, ok...
:Track: ??? Yea, ok...
Those types of idiots too, forgot to mention that. I cant believe they did that, I believe that was all gang related though right?
Pretty stupid I'd say. Boy I even forgot to mention the whole crowd thing is a horrible
idea, must be still asleep even though its 12:30.

Cookies should never be DUNKED!!!
That guy wasn't shot for trying to help, he didn't want to pay up, over 10k on the bet. Those guys didn't give two ****s about the other guy.
Just wondering where you heard that, I thought he was helping. At least thats what I read stated.

Yeah of course the news flipped it like that. Those guys were from one of strypes local boards. He said thats what the real witnesses said. They wanted to make one guy look like a downed hero, much better for ratings.

Yeah, see, back in the day, any bystanders were at the start. And the streets were empty- best racing was during the week, on school nights- lots fewer amatuers. Best done at the track, but, in the late 80's, here on the south side of Chicago, there was no track, we had to make it. Don't know where they go now...long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...
No such thing as doing it "correctly on the street". There is no "safe" way to street race. If the closest track is 3 hours away, then you drive 3 hours or you don't race...period.
Yep, your 100% correct because you've never street raced right? Never even cracked the throttle on the street either huh? Gotta love all you people that say this crap cause your all full of it unless you have a track really close.
