Myself I understand what "Crizila" is saying I think and I agree with him. In my eyes his point is that street racing is illegal and racing at the track is not and its safer racing at the track. Yea sure any racing can be dangerous but so can flying in a plane or just driving down the highway. Botton line to me is street racing is illegal and stupid because we have race tracks to race where it is legal and not as dangerous to the public. Any time us drag racers street race it makes the public hate us more as they feel we are doing something illegal and being stupid. If we race at the track we are atleast doing it where its legal and not as stupid looking to the average person.
And if a bystander gets hurt during a crash at an illegal street race I guess its like someone getting shot in a drive by shooting as someone got hurt who was not supposed too but just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. But if that race had been at the race track where its legal and that bystander may have atleast been behind a gaurdrail they may not have been hurt.

Sure its all alot of "if's" like much of life is but if we do most things in life by the percentages and do them right the drag racing at the track helps keep it much safer. Myself I rarely watch any of these stupid reality shows anyway but IMO no matter how you put it street racing is stupid. Ron
