I think that if you knew about the 'Ring, you wouldn't mind paying tax dollars to operate it.

I think you'd find yourself out there often, too!

...other than that racing should be done on the track and only the track. Tax dollars goto these "special roads". tracks are privately owned which is why it costs money to race. I shouldn't have to pay for some stupid ricer to run on my streets

can i interest you in some sand remover for that small beach you have in your vagina?
yeah good one.

For the record, I said: "entire post", not "whole thread". I pointed that out to you because he specifically asked that people not flame him as he is not taking either side and is only doing research for a school project.

Had you read the entire post, maybe you could have mustered up the decency to respect his wishes and not indicate that he is stupid or asking a stupid question, and also not suggesting that he be beaten for doing so.

Thanks.

As for the topic, let me explain:

Street racing, as far as I know, is the illegal closing off of certain industrial streets and having 'racers' go at it for a quarter mile.

When I put up the second yes vote, I meant as in a privatized industrial road where the owner of that road could hold such events.

I understand that there are raceways near by, but they are still hours away. I'd be nice if there were certain roads zoned off just for this type of gathering (e.g. parks are for playing in, there should be a car park somewhere ).

Any how, keep on voting, it's all excellent info

Signed,
Outferno
Essentially, race tracks are "car parks". While I wish road racing were less expensive (at tracks such as Thunder Hill), the problem is that there is a lot of liability held by the person hosting the event, which means that person has to carry a large liability policy in case someone tries to sue them. A car park would be subject to the same rules/regs, with the owner running the risk of being sued at any time, which means he has to carry an expensive liability policy, which means the costs will rise to play in the "park".
