yea, i live in portland oregon and it is outta control here. every fri. and sat. night there is a huge *** parking lot full of cars that all want to do the fast and the furious 4 way races. being an "original street racer" kinda sux now because there is no room to race anymore. but the quality of cars has gone downhill in the last couple months and i would love for this local guy to bring down his EVO makinen ed.

The reason that they ticket people is because street racing can be really dangerous. People think that speeding on public roads and racing around is fine, but stuff happens. I just dont think it is worth risking your future for. If you accidently killed someone you would spend a good amount of time in prison, that reality doesn't hit until it is too late.

well........ those sort of "accidents" can happen on the track also. i by no means deny the fact that there are experienced drivers on the track, but there are also seasoned veterens out on the streets also. street racing is actually at an all time high and that right there is what makes it dangerous, it attracts all kinds of ppl. the racing is simly a reason for some to show up and watch. there are ppl that are there to be mischeivious and those are the ppl causing the problems. but i gotta admit that there is a certain something that makes u get a rush as u race the streets.

i've only been to one street race night before...but is not drag racing like TFATF, few spectators drive cars...it was on a downhill mountain trail where i used to live when i was little in hong kong
each race was kinda short after u reach the bottom of the mountain...the finish line is this slight hill straight (about 200-300 meters)
