I understand what you mean by real racer
 

Ok, i'm young and stupid and reckless and I am I deserve every fine and ticket and mean remark anyone has to say, but thats only cuase the street racing game is different then track or some event. Its spontanious and a adrelaine rush, becuase its ileagal and breaking the law, doing what you want is what kids do. I agree anyone who gets cought street racing deserves but they most likely are gonna stop. Its like a drug, speeding at 70+ trough down town streets whipping around corners at night when no other cars around. The only bad thing, besides breaking the law, is the danger to yourself and others. No one can ever judge how much of an expert driver they are until they prove themselfs, and this is a scary thing cause people who don't know what there doing or there cars limits get themselve's in trouble, I mean I got a ticket for 60+ at midnight on the main road trough my town, and i deserve it I was being reckless. But that done mean I will stop. I just try to live by my rules for the road, Don't speed, like that with pasengers other cars on the road, Residencial areas, or in the day in traffic there are more. All I can say is never puch everything to to limits unless where your gonna be is so safe that the only injuries that could come of it are to yourself, because you except those risk, and the other racer, he needs to except these risk to. I'm the worst I'm awonnabe racer, I got a 9 sec, stock 1.6, thats like racing a MiniVan, in terms or performance.

No one can be COMPLETELY aware of their surroundings. The risk is lower, but it's not gone...and where lives can be lost, I'd rather not take that risk.

It's better to do it in a controlled area, where the risks are taken into account, and procedures are there if something did go wrong.

RISK is NEVER gone...minimized yes....gone...never. there has been many a professional driver killed ON a race track....

Even stepping out your front door, there is SOME risk, and god knows there is risk everytime you get on a highway at rush hour.

Don't get me wrong here....for YES....I agree....if you must....take it to a track.

What about Germany and their auto bahn? I think its a great idea, and we shoud have something like that here. A road that goes all the way through the USA with no speed limit. People who dont like fast drivers can stay away from it and people who want to get from point A to point B fast can use it.

I take 3 different highways to work every morning. If I take a normal drive, it's a 50 minute ride. If I weave in and out of lanes and try to get passed as many cars as I can, I get there in 45 minutes. If I stay in the "slow" lane, I get to work in 40 minutes.

The Autobahn for the US would not work because a majority of Americans are a.) clueless b.) completely self-centered and c.) completely clueless and self-centered.

There are plenty of people who would camp out in the fast lane doing 5 over the speed limit, and think they were going fast. What they don't (and never will) understand, is that you should move as far right as possible, and only move to the lane left of you in order to pass. I don't see the common American being able to grasp this concept before millions of people die in autoaccidents.

good luck man, :) keep your head up. things could always be worse.

also everyone that said the hyw was for driving the speed limit. look down at your speedo on the hyw next time your in the car.

I'm almost goin throuh the same thing
 

What happened with me is that i was going to the bank, and forgot my wallet with my atm card. I had a few arguments earlier that really didn't effect my judgement until i noticed i didn't have my wallet. Now i'm a little mad at myself, and want to quickly go back home and grab my wallet and on with my plans. Well on the way home i take different streets just because i love to make turns and test my car out, no biggie, but as soon as i get on this one street headed towards my house a black tahoe(unmarked constable) pulls up behind as soon as i stopped at the red light at the intersection. I didn't think much about it 1 his lights weren't on and 2 his tahoe was unmarked. Anyway right before my light turns green a car turns right on red onto the street and direction i was heading. As soon as i the light turned green i took off, my tires did not squeal, burnout i just simply took off very quickly. So what i do is quickly pass the driver who just turned on the street, and got in front of him so that i could turn on my street.Well sure enough that tahoe is directly behind me with his lights flashin.I was pulled over on my street 6 houses from mine. He wrote me a ticket for allegedly driving 73 in a 30. So i'm angry, not really think too much about what just happened. Days later i notice the ticket said "allegedly" and under radar was nothing which led me to believe that what he did was guess according to fast he had to go in order to catch up to me. Now i was lucky that i didn't go to jail, but i don't want this on my record and really don't want to pay that much money. So what you guys need to know that from the intersection to my street is 2 blocks. So i'm thinking is this possible, so i test it and see if it is. same circumstances, i waited behind a car at the same intersection and as soon as it turned green i waited for the car to reach the same point as the other did that day. When it did i took off but i and my conclusion was that i could only make it to 55 considering that i had to slow myself down in order to make the turn as i was. So obviously i'm guilty of speeding and i admit that but 73 was very accessive all i want is to lower my charge so that i can reasonable pay the ticket and maybe have differed judification, so i'm going to fight it by bringin this up to the judge.

Ben good luck

oh yeah i did this in a 2002 standard protege es unmodified yet. 4 banger i mean come on;)
