We all know street racing is a bad pastime, BUT I know that its here to stay.
Since the invention of the car its been going on and there will be no solution. Sad but true. Clowns trying to prove themselves will always be around. I am dead against street racing but I think we must realise that as long as there are cars and morons trying to impress other morons there wont be an end. I'm sure we would all love an answer to this problem but realistically cant see one. Dale

On another note they should burn the place to the ground, just because they decided to become junkies why should we pay for it. |

The fact is people are always going to race on the streets, better for it to be in an deserted industrial area than on the middle of Dandenong Rd or something.
And how is the crazed man's actions any differnet from that of a road rager who rams some soccer mum off the road to have a scream at her for poor driving? Why dont we see media interviews from them telling us how the D-grade driver cut them off in the right lane "forcing" them to ram the fools car off the road to stop the menace! The fact is, he seriously endangered lives with his actions and should be charged without pity. Last edited by T_Terror; 21-02-2005 at 07:02 PM. |

I know one of the guys who was there (his car is mentioned in that post) and I've heard so many different stories about it I'm not going to listen to any until I hear it from his mouth.
I've been on that exact go kart track in my car and f*cking hell, what a crazy bastard. I'm sure as hell glad he wasn't grogged up the night I was there. Fair enough he could of blocked the road and waiting til the cops came, but ramming cars at speed, that's not on. The old ******** could of killed someone. |

Oh and just for the record, it's a dirt road and about 150 metres from the creek until you hit sealed road. Hardly a place for street racing.

I saw a dude on the new who I swear was at the Dyno Day in Hallam that day the Pontiac stacked. He was with the guy in the XE Turbo (XE-0747 plates, XY351 user name?). He was talking about how the AU he was in/driver of was "packing a bit of punch" when the "old man pulled out" or something like that.
Bit late to the thread but yeah. I reckon both parties are in the wrong. Damn street racers lol. Sundeep |

5 0r 6 years ago in NZ, A guy was having big problems with guys breaking into his trucking busines's yard, stealing his diesel (for burnouts) and trashing his trucks etc. then doing burouts outsidehis yard on the road, racing etc. Had been happening for a long time. He did the same thing, waited for them one night, then rolled out into the street in a front-end loader and took out 5 cars. blocked the street with them and called the cops. can't remember what happened to him tho....

Thats pretty funny. Feel sorry for the guys losing their cars, atleast they went somewhere where the only real risk was to themselves.
