I didnt find it funny. 30-60mph takes skill
60-90 mph takes *****. i dont care about how ballsy aka how stupid someone is.
any mtn road that has speeds up past 60 shouldnt be driven or raced.
All southbay people are like, "dude i raced dis guy on Skyline...blah blah im a douchebag..."
Who cares, Skyline has like 6 turns that are "35 mph" the rest can be taken past 75 and thats just pointless and proves nothing.
All Skyline is, is a drag race with a deer finish line.
Its same with racetracks. Imagine what cars would be X'd off the list as track cars if there were no straightaways! tracks shouldnt have straights.

thank you very much for saying that. racing on the streets and on the highways is illegal for a very good reason. it is very dangerous. even if you don't care about your life, there are others like people on bicycles that are out there enjoying the roads as well. try to be on a bicycle one day and feel what they feel.

Yeah- street racin's bad ...mmmkay?
At the same time, there are plenty of roads in the golden state that put a smile on your face without needing to be traversed at breakneck or illegal speeds.
Drive in control, respect those around you, (slow the heck down for bicycles) follow the law and driving back roads can be loads of fun.
But I also encourage participation at autocrosses, rallycrosses and track days, BTW if you haven't been to the Reno-Fernley Raceway,
a great opportunity is coming up;

Reno Fernley has gotta be one of the best track designs ive seen. NO STRAIGHTS! besides the main straight.
from the videos i see, it has decent elevation. The track i make when i make one in 20 years is gonna have MAD elevation, like Bathurst Mt Panorama status!
