There is a huge group up here in the south of Seattle that are trying to shut down Pacific Raceway Park (Old SIR Seattle International Raceway). I live 1 mile as a crow fly's from the starting line. One is my neighbor. He came door knocking asking to sign his patition. I just said
"Dude, are you for real??? The track was built in 1959 and our houses were built in 1983... Who moved in on who??.... And, look at my Barracuda and my Little Red truck out front. Do you want me to start racing on our street out front when they shut the track down?" He just walked away.

Maybe we can send him personalized letters from across the country to let him know our displeasure. Does he have a face book page? Is there a home owners association? If it is a civil conversation, then maybe he can see the error of his ways?

Unfortunately, those types don't have any foresight nor do they care ... until someone gets killed in a street race.

Let’s be honest... this program gives the word sHeNaNiGaNs new meaning ! A month or so ago I taped one of these programs (on my vhs machine) and when they were picking names out of the bucket at the starting line one of those had his sneaker PULLED OFF HIS FOOT. No prep ? .... fiddleSTICKS !

What I wonder is, did this clown have insurance? Or did they just load up the scrap and run.... letting the Tax Payers handle the costs of replacing that hydrant?

I watch that video again, how did he tear up the right front of that car that badly hitting a fire hydrant on the drivers side of that road I didn't see any front brakes either on that side(passenger side, R/F), was there front brakes on that car or not My thoughts are when your putting on a Shizer show you should be able to save the car for racing later I'm lucky, I've been sideways at 85+ MPH at the tracks and on the streets, you need to act, not think, in those deals

Oh the events have hot food and wrenching/racing makes me hungry
