Well compared to many other things its not that bad. As I said in one thread on SVTP people posted a link where more people died from 5 gallon buckets falling on them.Originally Posted by :Exige:

And that justifies the deaths of 60 people because?Originally Posted by rev440
No matter how many people have died due to other things, there is NO justification for allowing deaths that can be prevented. If street racing were to stop, that would be 60 people who still have their lives.
Preach on brotha!Originally Posted by :Exige:
How often do you hang 5 gallon buckets where many people walk?
And besides, where are you getting these numbers? Have you researched how many people die in the world from street racing? Have you seen the statistics concerning just the accidents? Forget about the street racing. They're not pretty.
Just from that, how is it possible that only 60 people died?

That is 60 deaths that the police had signifficant proof that the accident was a result of street racing..
Many accidents happen on roads.. not easy to determine if it's a result of street racing or not..
And I'm totaly with :Exige: here..
and johnny of course Track racing for life
Think about how many lives that could have been spared if there was enough tracks/trackday events for kids to play at
At least here in norway.... We have the incredible amount of 2, TWO, courses that streetcars can race on
definetley the track, u have saftey crews, flag marshalls , ambulances, etc. Most tracks have run off areas so if you get loose. personally wouldnt drive fast without a roll cage and saftey harness. Thats me I must be a soft cock.
In my younger years I did stupid things and I was lucky i didnt kill my self or anyone else. I wasnt skillful I was LUCKY
Rev how many years have you been driving by the way ?

33 people have died from street racing in Ontario alone... Not cool.
yeah - and it's getting harder to book/arrange days there, for example Mt Cotton doesn't allow cars louder than 100dB now due to nearby suburbs. i mean there is still QR but variety would be niceOriginally Posted by charged

its all about a controlled vs. uncontrolled environment... in a controlled environment (i.e.: track) you have EVERYTHING you need to race, including safety requirements... whereas at an impromptu street race, you have nothing to fall back on if something goes wrong... as it likely will due to circumstances... that's that

You need to check your sources. I just did a quick google search of street racing deaths and found some interesting stats.

And whats it worth? Say you street race everynight and the cops never show up and nobody gets hurt? Like Jonny said shit happens, and if you kill somebody in the process you just dont get your car taken away. You go to jail and hopefully for a long long time.

so i had to dump acid into the block tank today
i'm afraid to fap
cause i got it on my hands
Even if you do it at night and block off roads, whatever, you're a bunch of pricks because you blocked the roads! If I was driving through and came across a bunch areswipes blocking roads because they're too cool to go to a proper drag strip, there'd be some serious destruction moments away, courtesy of me getting in one of the trucks you used to block the road and mowing down your little GT and weilding a tyre iron! It's totally selfish.
And what sort of condition is the road left in after? I've seen tons of street racing vids where they pour who knows what on the road whilst racing. And then you've got all the crap spilt from the cars as they race. Does all that get cleaned up?
And no matter how well the organise and "prep" the street, how can they be sure an animal isn't gonna wander onto the road? Or someone drunken bum wandering around? They can't.
