its weird how the cops seem to be the only ones concerned with street racing... The public rarely speaks out about it.... The public is more concerned with REAL problems like DRUNK Driving, Gun Violence etc....

the media is the problem here though i was just watching the news telling me that i will "never look at an elevator the same way again" because of the recent elevator accident... its rediculous how the media really blows things out of proportion....

the media is fcked up to the max. everything is blown outta porportion, and with stupid siht happening almost everyday, the cops priorities get messed up. today street racing wiht need for speed. tommorow some gang-related siht, day after counterfiet money, after taht birdflu, then back to streetracing

yeah i hear that. we all know that cabbies are the worst damn drivers on the planet, and the fact that this cabbie was killed due to a case of bad driving or judgement if you will was quite ironic. my heart goes out to his family but he should bare some responsibility because he was making and illegal move on that street which led him to get t-boned.... so whats the point you ask? if youre a stupid kid with a g1 dont race in the metro core (take it out to the farm roads in pickering or the industrial ones up in markham. cause honestly do you really want to have vehicular manslaughter following you for the rest of your life.

and a small note to all of you cabbies who around on the road like its your own personal playground of ignorrance; seriously stop ing around cause you and the people around you are the ones that get hurt! (most racers have pretty good driving skills and can get out of a compromising situation)

The problem is that people who would go to tracks to race are not the problem at all, because these people participate in organised street racing. The people to watch out for are the 'hard street racing thugs' who race people at stop lights so that random strangers will thing they are fast. And these people wouldnt go to tracks, just Oshawa.

yet in the same time we are STILL associated with those people....

The runway there is still in use, by Bombardier, and as an emergency runway for Pearson as well as Canadian and US Air Forces.

That beign said, it would still be the perfect place to build a trach, there is more than enough room for a 1/4, stands, and pits and since the government is planting trees there already the noise issue is already beign dealt with. There are a few huge empty spots of land north of the entire Toronto border which would also work well, but the proxcimity to residential areas, the government might not let it be zoned. I think up behind the Zoo would be pretty good, mostly farms.



About the article, can we be suprised, it's the same crap that's fed to us about street racing all the time. If anything it helps businesses...well gas stations, variety stores and tim hortons anyway.

It's human nature to race, it wil lalways be around. You cannot stop it, so instead of stopping it why not try and embrace it, understand it and "Make it safer"

Street racing is out of control because of idiot import kids want to be paul walker. Back in the day when real cars roamed the streets people were alote smarter.

See, domestics kill people. Not black people in Japanese cars like you fantasize about.

Then how would they show the public that they are taking an active role in reducing street racing crimes... they wouldn't be able to give out as many tickets because *gasp* people would actually have a safe, easily accessible track to race at!

I love the whole "take it to the track" defense... that cracks me up every time I hear it. Sure, we'll take it to the race track thats at least an hour away, charges $30 to race, only allows public racing on certain days, and that has the MTO sitting out front giving people who are making an effort to race legally a hard time and hundreds of dollar in bullshit tickets... taking it to the track is easier said then done. If they truly wanted to cut street racing, they would provide us with a place to race, it's well within their power to do so. The only effort the police ever made to reduce street racing was that whole "PACER" program, and we all know how well that one went. Police and Community Educating Racers... it seems that by "Police and Community" they mean "ignorant cop who thinks everyone in a modified car is a criminal and treats them as such", and by "Educating Racers" means "handing out an many HTA violations as possible, even if they are justified or not".
