well, i'm pretty anti-street racing. i'm not saying i drive like an old man, and never speed or anything, because i do. i give the car a good pull every now and then getting onto an empty highway. but i know a bunch of people that have died or lost their cars, or killed other people street racing from when i was young so it's never something i did.
i've street raced maybe 3 times in my life, and i'm 26. |
Don't look now, but a new one opened. Lot's of "good kills", no flaming.

I think for sake of how the past threads have gone.... yes, they should get rid of street racing posts.
|
I never understood why this forum permitted threads about street racing to begin with.

If you don't like it don't look at the post. Or if you feel so motivated to do so, post your feelings and try to sway them to not do it next time.

Driving stupidly is reckless driving/ reckless endangerment. People drive stupidly all the time and most are anything but racing! :lol: |

First off i would like to say i was a young teenager that raced and got caught. I got 5 tickets and was in court for two years. After that event i have not "street raced" i had to go to meetings and all this bullshit and it does effect you. i think stoping in the middle of the road and going 120 is stupid. maybe a quick run on the highway here and there isnt bad. maybe 40-100 pull. i mean people here travel 90+ anyway on there way to work. i dont believe going any faster is needed.
Most of this kids that do get into accidents dont know the limits of there car. and weave in out of traffic. they also run on stock suspensions and stock brakes. when i had my gti i what to my speed limiter 130 on a stock suspension and at the time i was like wow. i went out get coilovers and had it tuned and did it again, and sat there and cursed my self out for doing on my stock set up it was loose and if i hit a bump forget it i would have been dead. no matter what is said people will not listen. even if you ban it people will be like "i did it on a closed course" and blah blah blah. As much as a agree with you on banning it people will find away around it. Keep it and let the kid get ripped on by its members. and take pionts away and if that person keep racong people and posting about it he will soon enough be banned. |
you guys arent getting it.
banning it isnt going to stop it. no shit. of course it isnt. but that isnt the purpose of banning it. im not trying to STOP streetracing. im trying to STOP glorifying it. the same way they dont like releasing things to the public that will make a criminal more infamous. and if you think we arent glorifying it and condoning it. then your naive and in denial. |

I never post on those threads. And if I were to it would more than likely be to tell them they were being a dumbass. In fact I just peeked at it for the first time right now! :lol:

Don't ban it. Forums that have rules like this are :thumbsdow ... Let people talk and post all they want, if you're offended, don't post.
|
waist bandwidth?....waist?
like the thing near my hips that helps to keep my pants up? street racing isn't only illegal, but its stupid. and i agree that we shouldn't condone or glorify it. |
i say we ban it...
|
I feel they should be baned because they bring on unnecessary trolling and flaming....
