It's like a hobbie a sport it's scary witch makes it the greatest sport. Why is it ilegal it's like football your scared and need to make good moves to not get hit. Street racing should be legal I don't really like some people who don't like street racing. Street racing being ilegal is taking away something people love and I know it's dangerouse but thats why it's a great thing to do wheather your in a car or on a motorcycle. Make it legal i'm sure cops don't like it but should it be made legal am I the only person who likes it I'm pissed off it's ilgal the only place it's partcially legal is Germany because the autobauhn alows all speeds but still I don't live in Germany. So should street racing be made legal do you like it I do it's a great activity for good drivers.

First of all, if you can't write a paragraph correctly, how can you be trusted with a 3,000 pound vehicle? Did you realize the amount of misspelled words you wrote?
Obviously you have never been to Germany or you would understand the difference in the mentality of the people who drive the Autobahn compared to the congested freeways and angry little boys getting "pissed off" as a result of their own ignorance. Do yourself a favor and travel overseas when you get a bit older.
Imagine your mom driving home one night only to be t-boned by a reckless teenager who thinks he's Speed Racer. Look, street racing is just plain ignorance. If you really enjoy speed and you want to show the world how tough you are, sign up at the local race track.
Finally, street racing is not like football. Why don't you get off of your couch, put down your Xbox, get some exercises and be a pedestrian yourself? You'll not only get some blood to your brain but you'll realize how stupid some of the drivers really are.

There is always a criminal element involved with street racing, sideshows and other things. They are racing for pinks, street cred or whatever stupid reason.
Street racing is mostly drag racing, some canyon. But any moron can pay someone to build a car and mash the throttle down.
Anyone who has raced at the track knows that there are many rules and regulations, to be safe and make the odds even. They also know how to setup the vehicle. This is something I don't see with "night shift" racers and I laugh when they drive around corners very slowly.
It's illegal mainly because innocent drivers and bystanders are hurt or killed when these "night shift" racers crash.
By the way, the fastest drivers are the ones who have actually raced at the track. The "night shift" racers would be humbled at a road course or at the staging tree.

It's a great activity for drivers, but in an uncontrolled environment. I've heard of countless street races that have ended in tragedy because of cross traffic or other hazards the drivers couldn't correct for. It's not the racers I care about--it's the other people who didn't realize there was a race and get killed because of a mistake the racers make.
There's a reason racing is usually held on a track--it's an organized environment without distractions, and it's easy to get medical help in and out for the drivers so deaths are kept to a minimum.
I like street racing just fine, and I've had an impromptu race from time to time myself. But I know that it's stupid and will someday get me killed. I'd rather save it for the track, where I can go all out and only need to worry about breaking my car.
You just don't like the fact that that real racing forces you to wear a helmet and costs *more money than you're willing to pay.*
Prove you're good enough to race with the big boys and come to the track sometime. We've got the money and the skill...let's see about you. I'll meet you for Autocross or full track runs, any day.

Some people don't use common sense. Like comparing street racing to a sport like football. First of all numnuts, football players aren't running at the speed the cars are racing and secondly, they aren't made of metal with motors and gasoline. Not to mention that even with proper safety equipment, not all people are going to use it. If people were more worried about saftey than self image maybe it would be legal. It's the idiots that ruin the fun not the people who try to make the world a safer place. Please tell me you aren't this stupid about everything. My neighbors little boy was run over and killed cuz daddy thought it would be so cool to street race. He feels really good about it now.......

Street racing is illegal, and should remain illegal with even stiffer penalties because it puts other people in danger.
Racing is fun and I do it. But I go to a track or join auto cross events, where you're in a closed circuit and the only person that can get hurt is you.
Never street race. Don't tell me you wouldn't feel bad if you accidentally hit a van full of kids on their way to a soccer practice...Even if you win, what does that prove?

Hmm, maybe its because tons of kids and people are there too! My friends' nephew and nieces were killed with their mom in a minivan because of a street race. The driver or the racing car was hurt, but didn't die. We lost part of our family because of street racing and it's just so inconsiderate that people want to put other peoples' lives on the line, let a lone your own life. I just don't understand... Why can't street racers go on a closed circuit track or race track or somthing, just so people can not be hurt. I just don't understand....
Don't get me wrong of course, I really like NASCAR racing but it is on a race track and innocent people aren't at risk. Just please think about that...

If you concider it a sport. Think about this. Sports are played INSIDE a controlled environment. Arenas, stadiums, tracks etc...
Get the picture, last thing I need is to be on my motorcycle, minding my own business, and one of you tuner jerk offs runs my Innocent @$$ over because you want to impress your 13 yr old girlfriend. Get in my way, I'll gut you like a pig, and eat your liver. And yes, I'll make your girlfriend watch...

I have no problem with the drivers killing themselves, it is those pesky pedestrians. If we could just get them to get off the sidewalks, and drive where they need to go....oh wait, there would be a street race going on....Maybe we should just allow everyone to drive as fast as they can all the time.

It would endanger other people on the road.
Find a good local racetrack to race. It's safer and better competition.
Remember, rubbing is racing so don't get too close to me if your car is too pretty to race.
