Default Another Reason Not To Street Race


Figured id share this with you guys seeing as how it may save someone elses life some day. On friday night one of my freinds life was lost. It was taken away cause he was street racing. It was on a country road, and he hit a tree doin about 85+. The only thing left to his car that made it recognizable was the tires. Other then that it looked like a mangled ball of metal. He never made it the hospital. Like myself and many others on this board, he loved tinkering with his car and exploring the limit of his machine. But please do it SAFELY. Take it to the track and not on the street.

R.I.P. Joe - You will be missed

I think every person within a few counties knows to keep an eye out for Wade.

One of them were very close to me We dated jr. year but things change. R.I.P everyone that is lost to streeting and drunk driving....


Recent one was a 3000gt VR4 hitting a rx8 head on nothing left of both cars speed 100+ when rounded the conner and hit the rx8 with my ex a 18 year old female....

She was not racing that night but they stilll took her life when they wanted to see what the car could do.Well he will never now what anyone else can do now that he made that decsion to racing....


I dont understand we have a drag track down here that lets ppl use it for $55 for 5 runs.....why do they want to run them down a damn ride and tyring the cahce to kill them and someone else?

Sorry for my late post, but I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. It's never fun losing some one you're close to.
