That's funny! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]</div></div>
Now that's funny!
But the bottom line here is glorifying street racing -- yes, most of us have done it in some manner. But some, including youngin's that are watching this get the impression it is OK to go out and street bash -- we know that's wrong. In the past here in Texas if you were caught and convicted of a "contest of speed" you could loose your ride!
The local track here is San Antonio Raceway (very nice facility) and it appears it is in the process of closing the door. There were many, including myself who enjoyed the racing and "test & tune" sessions in a legal and controlled environment.
IMHO all sanctioning bodies (NHRA. IHRA, etc.) need to make racing and test & tune sessions a bit more affordable -- just that will give the smart street racers a place to do their thing.
