I dont street race at all, but i do go on fast drives on windy roads and stuff where i could probably get hurt. only thing i worry about is hurting someone else...

Organized street racing is so stupid! Most people there don't know their limits and how to drive a car. I wish that they could reopen the Fremont drag strip from many years ago. I think that would eliminate a lot of the street racing in the bay area. There are so many people that just don't have the time or patience to drive all the way to petaluma to sears point just to get 2 runs in. They could make so much money and in my opinion, save lives just by reopening it. Unfortunately I heard they are going to tear it down.

Damn that is harsh...

And as a second thought just imagine his insurance premiums after this!? He's not going to be able to afford a nice car for awhile i think or ever maybe.

Someone's going to eventually put him in the darwin award category soon, no offense but stupid people need to learn not repeat mistakes.

The purpose of posting the link to that other board was not to ridicule the SRT-4 driver for using poor judgement, but to illustrate how dangerous street racing is. The driver and the occupants survived this incident and the message he sends is that he now realizes that what he did was extremely dangerous, not just to himself but to those around him. This point is the most difficult for street racers to understand.
