Screw racing at a track. Go have some real fun on a wide deserted freeway in the middle of the night and go from a dig, rolls in every gear and see what all the end results are in each instance. I'm sorry but drag racing at the track can get boring as hell. I mean cmon topping out at 105 track give or take a few and running close to the sames times within .1 if that over and over gets old. Let her rip top end a few times in 4th and 5th and do it on the street and throw lots of other variables and see who's got ***** then. Cracks me up the posts that start out "will I win..."Do I have a chance", Well go out and race the guy and find out instead of taking a survey where everyone gets their panties all in a bind.

Actually in my case its very smart street racing.
I used to drive drunk all the time, and I got in a few accidents totaling my cars (single vehicle accidents). I then asked a cop was it safer to drive drunk or street race and he said without even hesitation...street racing. I certainly couldn't argue with the cops logic and answer so I decided to quit driving drunk and start street racing instead and you know what...the cop was right as have been street racing for 35 years every day of the week. Never got in a accident, caused one or even had a close call and my huge bar bill was gone and no hangovers the next morning.
I can say I've probably been easily in over 7000+ street races in the last 35 years (and thats probably way under estimating the number). And for all the people that will say no f-ing way that many ill be very subjective and say as an example....I street race someone at least 1 time a day and many more than 1 on the fri/sat nights. Thats 30 a month minimum, but lets back it down to 20 to low ball it. Thats 240 a year or 8400 in 35 years. Think I could get that kind of track time? NO WAY
I can go right out my back door and street race instead of driving over an hour to get to the track, wait in a line for 4 hours to get 3 runs in. Yea thats not fun in my book. In that amount of time our group will have 30+ street races in for each person.
All joking aside though...Street racing is dangerous for "most" people because they they race in places that are in dangerous surroundings and/or other traffic around etc. and they can't drive worth a sh**..

Yea thats a smart way to street racing, the people that street race that cause the most harm are doing it areas where people are there to get hurt, or worse they are racing around corners in residential areas. If youre going to street race go to somewhere remote like a highway thats not used or something.
