Please show up so I can arrest you. Why not just put that? Street racing is illegal, dangerous, and very 1980's. We have strips now, and the risk is too high not to take advantage.

That may be easy for you to say, but they took our track in jacksonville away. Nearest one is atleast an hours drive. I'm not sayin that street racing is ok, but people can't complain about it happening if they ain't gonna have a place for people to do it legally.

Then you get there and you are lucky to get more than 5 runs in. Maybe I should look for employment in NC, seems a few people I know there tell me they go home cause they are bored after their 15th pass.
FL NEEDS MORE TRACKS!!!! I have to drive a long time and then get less than a minute total of pleasure for $50, hell probably more on a long *** trip like that I eat on the way home too.
That's OK though, no one listens, just bitches about street racing. I'd still like to know the national fatality rate of street racing each year vs. DUI's.
Yet the penalty for racing is a lot harsher. Go figure.

BUT!
i dont have to worry about cars pulling out in front of me.. i LOVE being at the track.. i get to hang out with people.. its not illegal so i dont have to worry about getting my blood pumping.. its MUCH harder to make up excuses when someone loses.. you know what you run..
there are reasons i like running on the street too.. im not sitting here saying dont run on the street.. because i do.. but! i like the track much more and if i had my choice all the time all my races would be at the track..

We always race on country roads that no one lives on and there is no chance on hitting people. Its just the two cars racing. Everyone is far behind cars that are racing too. We make it as safe as possible but its still s/t racing.

Whats bad about a 2 hour drive to a track? I actually have to plan to go! Its a whole day event now. Also I want to race a lot, that's costly. If it were local I could go once a week. Also its hard to judge the weather. Trust me it completely sucks. Instead I have to spend money on food/gas/track. Oh there is a 1/8th mile track less than a hour away, its always packed though and I don't even know if Sunshine is open anymore actually. I want the full 1/4 anyway.
