A good read, at least they offer some different perspectives...

Read that before, in the New Times paper it was featured in.

This is why, in 12 or so years living in the Metro Phoenix area, I have only gone to four organized street races - and I never drove any of my cars.

I used to go regularly when I was in high-school in California, but when I got stationed here in AZ, and saw the 'scene', there was just this undercurrent of of stupidity, I somehow felt.

That's why I'm happy with my occasional stop-light/freeway sprints, mostly to put people in their place, and my 'spirited' driving through traffic-free sections of my commute. It's not about winning, and/or image to me. It's about the joy of driving, and my lack of funds/car to go and do the 'track thing' - for now.

Yeah, it put things in a different perspective. I'd still love to go an watch an event, but I will not race.

I'm the same as clawhammer. But the occasional street race is fun. But I am honestly worried about causing an accident more than 80% of the time. So I tend not to race as often as I used to. That whole entire 6 pages really did open my eyes. Late...

Pretty good I think it showed both-sides and not just one or the other.
