Despite everyone's efforts to move things back to the track, where things belong... it won't happen. There are always going to be those stubborn fools, who create a bad name for car enthusiasts. Who feel the need to act like idiots and do donuts in the middle of the freeway, in hopes of gaining some sort of street credit.
Personally, I can't say that I haven't raced on the street. I have. But I don't anymore. Too many people die; too many people get hurt by someone's dumb decisions. Cars are great and we love them. But there's also the factor of respecting them. They're machines. Large, heavy, dangerous if messed with inappropriately... machines. The only control they have, is the control through you. Too many people lose that control and don't have the response time to be able to harness it within seconds. Too many people get hurt and killed from idiotic mistakes.
Going to the track might cost you ten bucks... but heading to the street might cost you or someone else their life.
Sorry for the rant. It's just something to think about... I have pretty strong views on that subject...
