Why Do/Don't you street race????

[Brett]

I dont because

A) My car is slow
B) Not worth the risk of killing myself or someone else on the road

[Hulud]

i dont street race
1) my cars not fast enough for a ticket
2) dont wnat to lose my liscense already had a cop try to pin it on me once
3) dont feel like killing people

[TeeJay]

i admit, i used to be an immature fuck that didnt care about anything. i would race anybody any time, any place. granted, most of the time it was at the organized races in business parks and quiet streets, but it was still dangerous. i had more than a few close calls. but now im 25, have about 20+ tickets under my belt, and realize it just isnt worth it.

I street race because wrecking or getting a ticket is not going to happen to me. Kind of like me smoking cigarettes. I see other people getting cancer, but thats them, I wont get cancer. So basically I think I'm immortal, and I have computer speed reflexes, so its impossible for me to make an error. Now for allot of the normal people. Street racing can be both dangerous to themselves and others.

I don't race b/c I know that I have a family and I am so worried about there well being that I would not ever want to hurt someone elses fam....
That and I know that if someone where to hit my wifes car racing they better hope that I am not in it, b/c all I live for is my wife and kids and I would give my life for theres in the blink of an eye.

Reason I don't race:

Its usually stock civics that try to mess with me and I don't even want to waste my gas.
Dangerous since most people don't know what they are doing.
People die....
Don't want a major ticket or go to jail again.
And mainly know one can mess with my insanely amount of horsepower (check the sig).

To the idiots that say the race because there are no close tracks around. That's bullshit and a cop-out. If you can't afford to do it legally, then do something else. If you can't take the time to drive to a legal drag spot, then you should take the time to find another hobby. That's all I'll say. I've been in too many arguements on the idiocy of streetracing.

Well said.

[IronEagle]

I don't because insuring three vehicles is expensive enough. Not worth it. Now 10+ years ago used to get into some wild stuff.

[David88vert]

I don't street race anymore because I literally don't have time (work, wife, etc).

[Hektik]

I do street race cuz im a dum sumbitch who doesnt care about any other mother fuckers life......

not really...
I do however drive my car like the good lord intended as fast as she'll go but then again it just another little civic so im not doing mach 3 or anything like that...but I do like getting on it here and there

[Dragonfly5338]

I don't because I don't want to go to jail (again) or lose my license (again!)

I will fool around on the street with tray or friends, from time to time.

keep it in the bedroom... fooling around on the street is super dangerous and can cause blindness.

you're a dumbass, erin, LOL!

[nightracer]

I don't streetrace right now because my car is down and its pointless to even try in a jetta.

[David88vert]

I don't street race because once you've smelled what burning human flesh, burning plastic, and burning fuel smells like, you never want anything to do with it again. Just the thought of the sheer number of stupid people makes me sick to my stomach... Why street race when it's SO easy to go to the track?

Hmm, I've seen and smelled it at the track (Commerce). It does happen. Does that mean that I should want to go to the track again? That I should only street race? Just food for thought. People think that the track is safe..... only for the spectators. And not always then. I'm not saying don't go to the track, just know that it has the same risks, so take precautions - just like you should take precautions if you choose to street race.....

[quickdodge®]

just know that it has the same risks, so take precautions - just like you should take precautions if you choose to street race.....

The risks are definitely not the same. There are much greater risks is streetracing. You have other cars, other people and a quite a bit more surroundings to deal with it when you dumb yourself down to streetracing. You can't take precaustions when you streetrace. What are you going to do, tell other motorists to get off of I-20 so you and someone else can take a run down it? Or Buford Hwy? Later, QD.
