No offense but none of these storys are going to change anything unless it happens to you personally. People get all mad about street racing, but don't want to build track and in the case over here are shutting one down. So where are people going to race? The street.
You can't bitch about a problem and then turn a blind eye to the solution which is to build tracks which would get people off the street. I would love to have a track where i could race any night of the week in a controlled clean enviroment and not have to be hassled by the cops.
