People down here just love racing. Since they closed our track, people now street race every single day.

exactly. most of us here that have dumped money into our trucks try to keep it to the track but if you pull along someone that wants to run it's built into a guys DNA to say ITS ON.

I try to not do much on public streets but if I do decide to run someone I do my best to make sure no one is around. I will do a run on an open HWY but if there are other cars around I will step down. Not worth risking someone else life.

I took a defensive driving class at one point, and that was an argument between me and the instructor. I made the point that my 86-year old neighbor couldn't drive better than me, despite 70 years of experience. No comment. Those trucks were leaving the cop cars at a pretty good distance, though.

hahaha That's what I was thinking!


I agree with the experience debate. Years of driving doesn't make you a better driver than the other. The only way that statement can be true is with track racing. Even then however, the youngins seem to be better drivers in some cases.

Street racing isn't smart and there is never a "right" time or "good" way of doing it. Everyone is guilty of street racing
In the end, as long as everyone lives without hurting themselves or others we have succeeded.

"The trucks were marked"

Good thing none of them had a PT.net sticker. We'd of had quite a mess on our hands.
