street racing

same stuff here too...the tracks we have are 2 hours away and biased towards imports. the SF bay area folks like me who do streetrace know the risk we take and so do the people who go out there to kick it. when i first started going, there was maybe 50-100 cars out. but now that the stupid fast and furious came out there are hundreds of people out. most of them are there to be "in!" those of us who are wiser than these people set up private races no one else knows about. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH: BE SAFE OUT THERE
