Well, I just hope that you don't hang out there.

sorry but...nothing new...:nono:

Shiet, I'm glad that I had to stay on the ship that night, that may have been me or one of my friends.......... I'm not going there for a while.:no: :no:

that blows... that's my worst feear is that i'm going to hurt someone else... I don't care so much about myself, more about bystanders.

www.dragva.com is conducting a fundraising for the victims on the 12th of July at 3pm on the same parking lot of the abandoned AMES. I'll be there and trying to contact the organizer to volunteer.

that really blows. when will people learn ?

that sucks...

one word track :mad:

yes a track would be nice, weve been trying to get one around here for a long time. ive written to the local reps and got a petition started once but nuthing has ever come of it. i just think we need one good buisnessman to come along and buy some land and build one... their is plenty of land out near cheasapeake/ hickory are to he used

Hmm... I'm equally impressed by the "300-500" spectators. How many of those were lined up on the edge of the strip waiting to get hit? A little common sense, folks.

If I want to get hit, I'll go watch some WRC.

Unfortunately, never.

It really sucks when an innocent bystander or passenger gets killed :no:

amazing...people need to lear, but like you said they never will.
it pisses me off more to see people race with children or girlfriends or even family in the car with them, it's just stupid
The only time I ever take up a challenge is if, I see I will not be doing any harm to anybody but myself if something does go wrong
survey the area...if pedestrians or other vehicles are present, don't please

those people KNOW to get out of the way

this is why legit car clubs can't even have places to "meet" anymore, too many damn kids doing stupid ass things
