Bad Few Weeks for the Cat! PICS!!! Reply #15 – June 19, 2007, 10:19:28 AM Quote from: 1WLD BRD;155422where we go is out in the country. There is a road here just outside of town that has actually been prepped with traction compound. The road is over 1.5miles long and NO houses at all on it, so there is no chance of hurting anybody our yourself, unless a deer runs out, but that is a minor technicality. Most people are smart enough on here not to do that thing in a city or around traffic so I dont think whinning about the forum's street racing section is realistic especially when you are guilty of doing it as you said Miller. I didn’t feel that expressing my opinion was "whining" but simply relaying how I felt about it. Your Opinion is different than mine so would that make you whining by your definition?And yes I am guilty of street racing years ago. Lower River Road, out in the country behind Vancouver Lake. 1/8th and 1/4 all laid out, had a generator to run the tree, couple mile stretch of road with no houses straight as an arrow, nearly every Friday and Sat. night. Difference is I’m man enough to admit I was wrong, to admit as much as I thought I knew everything in my early to mid 20’s just possibly I didn’t. Sorry to say it took hearing of two head on collisions (when I wasent there) and witnessing one (when I was) at Lower River Road before I came to that realization. But hell that’s on our old country road drag strip, could never happen at yours because you guys are well “smart enough”… at least “most” of you are. As I said before“Just my opinion, I’m stuck with it, you guys aren’t!” Quote Selected

Reply #16 – June 19, 2007, 01:17:03 PM well most people are smart enough to let off and abort the race when a car comes down the road but I guess not everybody is.Sorry Jim, I didn't mean to tick you off. just stated my opinions too. I haven't actually street raced since I had my red '90 LX coupe. it ran low 13's@101MPH on the track. That was about 3 or 4 years ago. I guess we all just grow out of it. I did actual get in a sprint run on the QEW a couple weeks ago against a 5.0L Stang. We ran side by side til we caught up to traffic, at about 120km/h (speed limit is 100) then let off and nodded to each other. Your right it can be dangerous.I know if somebody challenges me now adays I tell them to meet me at the track on the weekends, but if that isn't good enough, I tell them to meet me out at that road with there ownership signed and ready to hand over. that is usually enough to deter them. There is absolutely NO WAY a car can get in a head on wreck where we do it. The road has no acess routes except on either end. so if the person racing is too dumb to let off and abort the run, they aren't bright enough to even be allowed to drive, period.No offense meant man.
