Heres the question , and be honest . How many of you street race? And I know some will be very against this and say take it to the track but be honest do you or do you not streetrace?

i dont street race, i did it once about 3 weeks after i got my license and got pulled over in my truck...got outof the ticket but still scared me...but the only other time i raced it was almost worse, scared me enough to not do it anymore... was in my moms mazda3 it was my DD since we worked at the same place, raced a honda civic for a good 2 miles down a semi main street, onto a freeway and then onto a different freeway, he car stops at 110 so i was steady movin at 110 and i was burning the civic, i looked over rq to check my mirror to see where he went and a car merged in front of me and i looked forward and there it was, i was doin a buck 10 comin up on someone doin 65...all i could do was swerve right, if there would have been a car next to me it woulda been bad...prob one of the stupidest and most reckless things i have ever done in a car and i def. learned from it...i drive my stang hard, im heavy on the loud pedal, but i generally dont ever go more than 15 over and thats on very rare occasions....and no more racing for me

If someone pulls up next to me, or on the highway and starts it I'm not one stop, but i went to phili once and actually saw someone die in an accident so now I've become one of the "very against", nothing good will come out of going to a place known for street racing. I woke up to see these pictures on the news the next day.

I dont. Did a few times back in high school, but it's really not worth the risks anymore. Take it to the track...
