First of alll let me say I hate Street Racing. Its the most ignorant and obnoxious and irresponsible thing you can do with a high-powered car. The only person whose life you are allowed to waste in the pursuit of speed is YOUR OWN DAMN SELF. Thats why we have Races at Race Tracks, or on a predetermined course through the outback. If you fuck up, you do your best not take anyone else down with you IF you can. If it does happen, and another man dies as a result of your judgement, well he has to sign papers before each race agreeing that he bloody well knows he might die during the race.
Assholes like the ones in this particular Street Race (http://sympatico.msn.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2005/06/07/drag-racing-death050607.html) in Winipeg, Canada should be locked up for vehicular manslaughter and sentenced 25 to life. While I do indeed break the speed limit on a daily basis (Italian Sports Cars need to be driven that way) But stufff like this is just a callous disregard for the life of your fellow human beings, especially those of the Innocent Bystander variety. I know the area this race happened and beleive me the odds are they were going twice the speed limit, at least. Its a LONG road.
When I race, I want to race against someone who actualy knows what their doing and consents to the danger to their lives in the race the minute they don their helmets and start the engine of the race car. Guys like these street racer schweinhund just give more ammo to the Granny Driver Brigades in their Evil mission: "To Slow Down Everything, Dammit!" and senselessly take the lives of both people they've never met, themselves and their best-friends lives.
If they can afford those godawful spoilers and cheesemuffin neon, they can afford the fees for race track access. Of course they would have to pass competency tests....and anyone ignorant enough to think the streets are the best place to race has difficulty comprehending the test. I say lock 'em up for at least 20 years, 15 years with no parole. What do you peoples think?
Theres a fancy little poll doo-dad with this post, it came free with a clue that people told me I had long ago lost. Please click on it as you see fit.
But I'm sure there are lot of people willing to share their opinions on Street Racing, Speed Limits....wherever Cars and Government collide (with a hideous squeal of tires abruptly terminated by a loud crash) .
:rolleyes: I'm a little red right now, forgive my verbitude :rolleyes:
