NW sucks 4 racing

[MyFordsFly]

I truely see both sides of this. On the one hand I used to live in a little town in the desert in CA. This place had more straight, flat, infrequently traveled, out of the way, nicely paved roads than one could imagine. You wanna talk about street racing. If there was an issues at one place we had 3 more. People would come from all over the place to race and hang out.
There was always the new guy who had something to prove. But there was usually someone out there to put that guy in his place. Sometimes they would bring enough to earn a little respect.
There were us reg's that were there every Fri and Sat night just out there bs'n. One of us would do something different to our cars and maybe race someone we had raced before. Just alot of fun and a good time.
We would occasionally have the dumb kid come out and do something stupid. But we took care of it and it didnt happen very often. Once in awhile the cops would come out and scatter the place but almost never busted anyone. Usually they came out just to see if anyone was drinking and left us alone. Ahh the good old days.
Then I come up here and find a little bit of the same. With the exception of the cops were alot less understanding. So I start hangin out with those guys from time to time. And then "it" happened. Dumb kids started outnumbering the "good" guys. And alot of dumb things started happening.
A couple years back there were a bunch of street racing related accidents and deaths. 99% of the time a dumb kid was involved. Now street racing is the devil. And I really hate dumb kids.

And unfortunately, two of the highest profile fatality incidents in the last couple of years involved Mustangs. The State Patrol brought the black Cobra from the incident in Everett out to the Monroe Fair this year, as well as the van driven by the lady he hit and killed. Both cars were completely destroyed. Mounted on a board in front of the display was a hand-written note from the driver of the Cobra. He said that his life has been completely ruined by street racing and he wishes he was dead rather than living with what he did. He was 19 when he went to jail for vehicular homicide and will be over 40 when he gets out. The next time you think about dropping the hammer on a street race, ask yourself if the "rush" is worth 25 years of your life in jail, living with the knowledge that you killed somebody's wife and mother.

That does sum up the bad side of street racing now doesnt it?

but then again it sounds like this guy would fall into the "dumb" catagory? who would race on a city street or freeway with traffic? peace

I agree watch where you race. Unless of course some punk says to you at the stop light that his car costs, "more than you can afford pal." Then revs his motor at me. If punks do that i don't care where or when. I'll race him. Hell i'll even pass them in incoming traffic to prove a point.

Cool, just dont kill my family. Cause then it would get real ugly.

Street Racing 101

Breakemlose, Losing my car and almost my life cured me of street racing when I was 18. You never know when someone else is going to pull into your path even in the most remote areas.
Take it from those that have been there its not worth it! I suggest you reconsider your racing practices before you kill someone else............. I hit a van full of people at about 80mph, I was sooo lucking no one was hurt. I tried to squeeze behind the van and clipped it on the rear corner, sending into a spin. As you can see the corner of the van distroyed the side of the car and almost killed me in the process. If that wasn't enough I then went off road and struck a telephone poll.

This was a prestine 1968 Charger w/383 4-speed only had 65k miles


I've been legal ever since, either the drag strip or road course for the last 25 years.

[Master_Chief]

I have to agree that street racing isn't all that "cool" but, yesterday, I pulled up to a '69 GT and he started revving- well, how can I not race
I hope I don't get any tickets

 

[5.0 MoJo]
