Default Street Racers

So I have to write a research paper for my online classes. I decided to take up the topic of street racing and ways to help reduce the problem. The topic is pretty lame, but over the last few years there has been many wrecks and deaths because of street racing.

So I would like to interview someone who has been in the street racing scene for a bit. It would be nice if you were also involved in some "Organized Street Races" so I can bring that up in my paper. Some of the questions I'm going to ask are going to seem like I dislike/hate street racing - but in order for me to write a fair paper I have to see the argument from both sides so please understand.

It would be nice to do the interview over AIM has it is really easy to read and save those conversations.

If anyone is willing to be interviewed, please let me know on here or a PM.

Your name will be kept confidential.

Thanks guys.

That's what I need. I need someone who supports it and does it often. I won't be able to find a solution to the problem if I'm just going with all the stats against it.
