Rest assured that should a thread involving street racing be brought up, the moderators will likely close it. I don't read all of the threads, but I don't recall any of DV8's recent posts involve freeway or street racing.
There are only two moderators taking care of this forum, so not every post will be caught.
Yet again, while I agree that there are dangers during regular daily drives (be it around newbies, the elderly, or drivers who think too highly of their driving skills), the point that I've been trying to make is that it doesn't matter to me if the person racing his/her car gets killed. It is the possiblity of having innocent people getting hurt or killed that is the issue.
Regarding the comment about tracks not having their act together; it was in response to what you said about seeing incidents of cars whipping into spectators. IMO, if a car can easily and with all likelyhood encroach into where the spectators are, quite obviously, there weren't sufficient precautions taken. It was not directed at tracks that have solid concrete walls seperating the spectator from the cars.
The surest way to minimize any possibility of hurting innocents is to take the race to the track where the likelyhood of a driver slamming into a bystander is virtually non-existant. Drivers getting hurt or killed is OK with me. It was the person's choice to participate in the race knowing the possible outcome.
I'm not against racing. I'm trying to make a point against racing in uncontrolled environments.
Again, please don't get confused over what is meant by a safe race. The concern is not primarily for the driver, but for people who might by some chance be in the path of the race.
