    Ill admit, a year or so back I used to do nothing but run on streets or private roads near where I live. And to be completely honest with you Id do it again, as long as I knew the other person and knew the roads. There is no traffic at all when I run.

    All you folks that hate street racers, gotta realize tracks are at least an hour and half from most of us. It takes me about 1 hour and 45 to get to Reynolds. Never been to Commerce though since Reynolds is a faster track where I can get more runs in. They shut down the Dallas 1/8 track as well this year. People complain about street racing, well if you want to help combat it, build more tracks, simple as that. Or even better, have police enforced street night runs and block off roads, and have it monitored by police! Even do a charge of 10 dollars, and im sure youd get lots of extra money for the budget and provide a safe legal outlet for running someone.

    Before someone jumps on my shit about street racing, I go to the drag strips, and I have gone to a road course. All of which were a long way away and ended up spending tons of money on gas.

    That would be the day,when cops block of roads and charge us 10 ducks to get in, and race, but then would that really happen I think not, police flip out over my truck barking a slight chirp at a light and threaten to throw my ass in jail, and now that cops been on my ass for the last week, being my truck sticks out.
    :boobies:

    Shooting mutha fuckahs in the face and gettin paid.
