i know this whole thread is way off topic but whatever
where i live, there is no drag strip. the closest one, is too far. it would be a waiste to drive all the way there and back just for a few runs.
and bc of this, street racing seems to be very big around here. theres people who know what they are doing, and then there are people who dont, and ruin it for everyone.
for example over the weekend i went to a local spot, nothing but muscle cars and done up tuners. some of them racing for money, some racing for fun. everyone had a good time and when the cops eventually came, nobody had been racing and we all casually left. no problems.
then an example of bad street racing: i was at a spot the next day, nothing but spectators, ricers, and people in minivans and corrolas and shit. people were loud, stupid, doing donuts, drinking and smoking, acting a fool. only saw one good race, then the cops came and everybody did the mad scramble. there was a double fender bender, and a few people got tickets. not fun.
i wish there was a track around here but unfortunately if i want to see some races i have to deal with this crap.
