im done street racing

last night i was in palmdale visiting my friends. we went to the street races out in lancaster. i raced this stock automatic LS1 and a 6 speed LS1 WS6. i knew both the guys and knew i'd lose, so we went for fun. it WAS fun. everyone was like, damn a three way! three of the fastest cars out there kickin ***. other than that it was a good calm night.

then as soon as i left i got a call from my friend who was still out there. somethin bad happened...5 people got hurt. bad. then this morning i hear the news...

this was my first time going. i'll admit it was exciting. but this incident wasnt related to street racing. it was some guy who was driving on the road, he smashed into a crowd of people on the side of the road.

Still indirectly caused by street racing. The crowd was there watching the races.

Glad you had your eyes opened, to bad it had to go to the extremes.

You know, I would say this was the street racers fault, IF the guy hadnt run.

But I agree, closed course racing is the real way to go.
