Actually, you see, I've managed to take the focus off the OP's street racing videos into a discussion about the dangers of street racing. I'm raising awareness about something dangerous but using the OP's videos as a focal point. We can all learn something here.

I think this was quite successful, not to toot my own horn.

For example, a good driver, with a properly prepped vehicle is much less dangerous than a newbie in a car he's unfamiliar with. The speed limit comment was to reflect my lack of knowledge to the OP, his country, his culture, that street, the other racers, the other people present...
I agree that there are "more dangerous" situations, but because something is more dangerous than another, doesn't negate that both situations, in the end, are dangerous.

I think this discussion has been helpful for all involved and I'm glad you all could take the time to participate.

You didn't prove anything that we didn't know. I'm pretty sure everybody on this forum is aware of the dangers of street racing, and I know some people, like myself, only speed on the track or on an OPEN road. We aren't cold-blooded murderers like you are trying to make us out to be, but nice try.

Why not? It sets the point home. It's an effective tactic meant to bring more awareness about this topic.

Now you have to ask yourself, what are you going to contribute to the discussion besides vitriol?

This thread is done. If you can't make an argument without insulting others, you're better off keeping your opinions to yourself.
