- Mexican killed my car
Street racing news story
http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/01/22/str...ing/index.html
Gavin Simcoe hadn't planned on nearly killing himself. He was just with a couple of buddies that night of September 25. But street racing came up. There was trash talking about whose car was faster.
"I said, 'I think mine can beat yours,' " Simcoe says. His friends agreed, "let's go out and do it then."
They chose a straight two-lane road. It had hills, something Simcoe needed for a running start because first gear in his 1993 Honda Civic EX didn't work.
Simcoe says he hit 110 mph really fast. But then, headlights. A car was coming out of a driveway. He swerves, rolls. He feels twigs scratch his face and envisions his parents at his funeral.
"I was thinking, not me, not me," Simcoe says. "I really thought I was going to die."
Illegal street racing has reached what one law enforcement official calls "ridiculous" levels in the United States, causing a number of deaths. Simcoe knows he's lucky to be alive.
Fucker must have got some brain damage if he thinks he hit 110mph "really fast" in his civic. He should honestly never hold a license again. If he can't control a slow piece of shit like a civic, imagine the damage he could do with a real car.

reminds me of the story of the ricer that was on Dr Phil... 16 yr old in a civic was racing another p.o.s and hit a woman in a wheelchair right in front of her kids.

He wants to race again -- this time on a track. "Racing to me is like adrenalin," Simcoe says.
people like this piss me off...
yeah I'm guilty of street racing, but we do it on the interstate late at night when no one is out. and we do it on the interstate because of the higher speed limits.
we only race to like 85... not fucking 120-145 (like this kid wishes he could do)
but damn i see kids driving the shit out of their beaters down residential streets.
that's why we can't drive our ls1's down a residential street without billy-joe redneck yelling "slow the fuck down!"

Somtimes when I'm out in the middle of nowhere I'll do a doughnut just for shits and giggles.... thats kind of rare. Something I do pretty often is get sideways. Theres one turn on the way home that perfect for it. I'll go through it really fast and the ass just slides out a weee bit. Hardly have to push the gas

it's bullshit little fucking ricers fuck up the street scene for the old school hardcore guys out there. All because they watched some fucktard gay ass fast and the fag movies so think their shit don't stink. Not all imports are bad but its the little fucktards like that a fucking honda civic ex to a 110 mph how fucking long did it take to get there 2 miles.
Now on top of that the fucktard pigs say street racing has reached a rediculous level how about all these little commie fucking towns stop getting all of the legal tracks closed down and restricted hours bullshit. You want us to stop racing how about a opening some tracks let us do our betting let us do our racing instead of having to drive 2 fucking hours to a track because the fucktards got all the tracks closed down. Thats why street racing has gone up because there are no fucking tracks and why drive to hours when you can drive 2 minutes to a clear highway and do your thing.
The day of real street racing is dead and you know why all these little fucking fag and the buttfuck ricer movies that came out. I used to hang with an old group of racers they gave it up because of all these dipshit ricers. Kid in that article needs to stick a gun in his mouth and pull the trigger one ricer down 10 million to go.

Street racing has gotten really bad around here. Even though we went out to remote locations when we would run the old heads, it's not safe no matter where it takes place. The rice on the other hand fucked everyone over. They were shutting the main strip down at 8,9:00 at night and doing dead digs races in front of EVERYONE. That caused the police to do a raid, ticket everyone and tow the cars.

See thats what I mean this little fucktard ricers are ruining for the old guys I know I am not old but I grew up around the old scene started racing when I was sixteen but was taught by the old guys. Pick your place do your thing and be gone don't shut down a fucking street or hightway makes it a little freaking obvious. These ricers these days have screwed it up for the true racer. Honda, mitsuwhateverthefuck, suzukis, what ever fucking imports are not fucking race cars they are eco boxes.
It's so fucked up now like because of all these new laws because of these pricks.
IL, impounded car, possibly up to a year in jail, in excess of 10000 to get your license back
ca, take your car crush it, lots of fines, loss of license
two I can think of now I know more states are imposes stricter laws why now use that money and build some goddamn race tracks for us.
