How old are you.



When I street raced. I was uhhhhh 19 in a 2.0L SS S/C (this car)
When my dad found out he did what a caring father would do. He took me to jail and asked me to see what WOULD happened to those people who got caught. They get locked up, Car CRUSHED...so yeah you wont even get it back and when they get out of jail, they have to pay still for their car when its crushed.
Next he took me to a Hospital in Orlando (since street racing is BIG over there) and since my dad has a good child hood friend thats a doctor in the hospital he showed me some people that were involved in wreaks due to street racing. How some were fighting for their life and how others just got ripped into pieces.


Now I'm 20, 1 year older and a hell of a lot smarter now. I'll admit, you'll catch some post here but I was ignorant and didn't have my head on my shoulders by that time. Now I'm more responsible and respectable of my car and my LIFE! So practice what I preach bratha and take it to the track and KEEP it at the track.

You really have no idea what it would be driving a car with no legs like I saw this one guy. Prosthetics is not a BACKUP item for body parts.

But not smarter


Been thier had a friend race a Mustang GT sprayed (We think, we know it wasn't stock) My friend lost control hit a ditch and the guys in GT turned around said you ok? Then hauled ass. I was at the starting line when they rolled back said your friend wrecked in the ditch but everyones alright we have to leave in case cops come but heres my cell phone number in case something happens and left.
At least he they were cool about it.

People are gonna street race you can show them the facts you can show them the results but it's up to them to decide if they're going to do it our not. All you can do is hope they take some advice and take it to a back road.

That is all.

Where the hell in Florida are you. I have multiple friends down here that have been caught street racing. One has been caught 2 or 3 times. All that happened was he lost his license for 2 years i think it was on his last time being caught. He never had his car crushed. Not saying that it doesn't happen, but down here where I live I haven't heard of it happening to anybody.

also http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/01/22/street.racing/ says

Florida is one of the few places with laws targeting street racing, but conviction is difficult because prosecutors must prove there was competition, says Miller, the Florida trooper.

Many cases are prosecuted under reckless driving or speeding statutes, experts say, and that makes tracking illegal street racing difficult.

It also makes finding appropriate deterrents difficult.


and also don't forget how the Florida Street Racing Law Was Found Unconstitutional

It's all over the local forums and was on the news. Due to the vagueness of sunny Florida's laws that prohibit street racing, and some dude in a Corvette taking his "Unauthorized Speed Contest" ticket to court, the statute has been found to be unconstitutional.

Legal garbage: http://www.facdl.org/MembersOnly/Mot...0v%20Wells.pdf

The worst they can charge you for now is Reckless Driving. Still bad but nowhere NEAR the penalties for Drag Racing.

Also note that the Drag Racing penalties are far more severe than DUI penalties, despite the fact that DUI's kill 2500 people a year here, whereas street racing claims less than 1% of that figure.

The statute is so vague that virtually any car speeding or even accelerating from a traffic light next to another car could be charged with street racing.
