idk maybe paco was biking home from work..half the races were at night..reaction time sucks, especially if you are doing 70+ mph. hows it common sense if someone is crossing a street...should be common sense to just go to a track and avoid all the possible problems to begin with.

Also we are talking aftermarket exhausts here folks, if someone does not hear and see what is going on from 300 foot away, they are blind, and deaf.

Seriously though, yeah that looks like a safer road then many, BUT its still a street in the city, things CAN happen that won't happen at the track, we have midnight madness at our local track for this reason, to keep the street guys from doing this, & IT WORKS, theres a good 300 cars hot lapping every Sat. night, you can grudge, race for $$$, doesn't matter, Now just from looking, i myself found 2 major hazzards, NO ambulance, & that truck sitting on the side lines with the guy on the tail gate, i used to street race back in the day, i've seen many things happen that made me decide it wasn't worth it anymore, but to each his own.

Geez people calm down, this road was closed off....you can clearly see the cones and the lighted trucks at the end of track blocking off all traffic and pedestrians.. Pay attention, your assumptions are making asses of you.
On topic kick *** vid, looks like a lot of fun was had that day.

There was no more danger there than at the track.... People should not be able to be arrested for that... Now blazing down main roads, draggin down campus, etc....Thats a different story, and dangerous....Someones gonna get killed.
