That's good Blue07. A sure sign of what it is to be a man is the realization that actions have consequences "before" you take the action.

The way I think about it, street racing is 10X more dangerous and 5X more fun. Just depends on your feelings about it I guess. Around where I live, there are many many many open back roads where no one lives, big, wide open, no police, nothing dangerous. There are also no tracks within like a 1.5 hour drive. So. Yeah. Not saying I street race, but lots of people I know do.

at stop lights, i race to the speed limit all the time. there is no law about how fast one reaches the speed limit, just dont break it. And for what its worth... I was driving down the highway, when a red dodge hemi truck was beside me and gunned his truck trying to get me to race... funny as hell, as all the cardboard boxes blew out of the rear of his truck all over the highway, he had to pull over and collect his belongings. I laughed at him as a passed him.

Why does the track have all that safety gear and staff on duty to take care of a problem if one of the cars loses control? Back roads racing - and if someone pulls out with their tractor from one of the farm fields - or a deer runs out - or hell, just one of the guys loses control on the lonely back road and you both crash?
[sarcasm on]No I don't see any danger at all in this.[/sarcasm off]

you won't beat him on the 0-60.. i tried to get infront of a dodge 1500 hemi as i had to form 1 lane.. he pulled away... not much, but he got infront of me.. I was stock full with 4 bigger sized people... not sure on him..
once you hit 3rd gear i think you'll be all set though

Let's think about what you just said -- it is 10X more dangerous than taking the car to the track but there is "nothing dangerous" about street racing?

My GF got pulled over and got a warning for that. In addition to that the warning was for exhaust volume too. Double whammy. Verdict: No fast starts, and keep the volume down.
