Weak, not a single one of the was a real racer. I hate when the media uses these stupid ***** as interview subjects and they make the real racers look like complete asses. WTF does roll racing for money? "We race from exit to exit, and if you wreck don't expect help."

I would love to see the legal side of them taking the cars and burning them? I don't claim to know all the laws but when 100 officers "raid" a parking lot of parked cars and start search and sezer. Due process.
Then again I don't street race. So I don't deal with that.

im just dumbfounded....... they portray it to be nothing of what it really is, the reporter is a phucking queer still on his mommy's nipple driving an escort.....don't get me wrong street racing isn't the best habit in the world but heroin, coke and crackheads is were the police need to be. They sit here and harass kids that have aftermarket parts on there cars?!?!? WTF? maybe not everything is 50 state legal but alot is, and they burn a car? why dont they explain why and how they had the rite to burn it?....at least it wasn't an F-body

There were some fast cars there. Some of those flybys were 150+ mph
Surprisingly.. at least in this video its the slow cars that seem to kill people.
Guy in stock 350z somehow loses control to the point where the car hits a pole (you cant even get the *** end out on that car if you powershift the hell out of it).. and the guys buddy died while racing in an SUV..
Where do these people come from?
You'de think its the guys in the fast cars losing conrol and putting it into a tree or something.

That guy's tone of voice is super annoying, "FAST cars racing at white-knuckle SPeeds... THRILL-seekers racing on public ROADS." etc etc... such drama. Oh, and lady, drag racing is not an "illegal sport"
I don't agree with street racing in those places where all that traffic is, that's stupid. But I don't like how they stress it like it is super commonplace and such a huge problem. I have yet to see any street racing around and there are plenty of idiots and their ricer cars around here.

Let me say this as a blanket statement of all the "trouble" this country is in now a days.
THE MEDIA IN THIS COUNTRY HAS FAR TOO MUCH AUTHORITY AS TO WHAT THEY BROADCAST AS "NEWS" AND THEY ALWAYS SKEW THE STORY IN THEIR FAVOR BY INTERVIEWING THE BIGGEST ******* THEY CAN FIND TO HELP THEIR PLIGHT!!!!!
I swear, at least a quarter of the population of this country is retarded if they believe these 24 hour news stations are giving you all sides of the story in stone cold fact. This causes the mass hysteria of the morons to start panicking, sell off their stocks, up the price of oil for no reason, and utterly damage the economy all over mis represented facts and the stupidity to manipulate it for financial gain.
I realize this is kind of off topic but not really. This is how it starts, with "in depth" news stories that give us the "shocking truth" about these "criminals" and then it snowballs into the larger picture.
Sorry for the rant but idiots **** me off.

DAMN! DID YOU GUYS SEE THAT Z28 OWNING THE- oh.. sorry.. (although that did look like a members car).. Anyway,
"Slammed racing fender kit" What the ****? Some of these people don't know **** man.
The other guy said the sticker is missing from the tranny when he's standing there with the hood open on a lowered civic.. How the hell are you gonna know that?
Have any of you guys ever been pulled over and asked if your car was modified and to open your hood? "well.. this part is RED.. So I assume your illegally racing.." Seriously though, some people dont think.. Like your out in your mothers Altima and decide to go 120.. That's asking for trouble. I'm 16, and you would expect someone of my age to drive like an idiot, but I don't know my car's limit, and I don't push it. Some people just gotta have common sense with this..
