Again, what the hell is so hard to understand? If we allow the posting of kill videos and street racing realted threads, it can be seen as implicit approval and support, and therefore open the site owners up for liability issues. Again, I refer to the current case at Rider. That is how the law works.

If you don't think a 19 year old facing vehicular manslaughter charges wouldn’t say “I was encouraged to race by videos I saw online” in order to cut a deal with a prosecutor, then you are at best surprisingly naïve. Any pubic official would happily offer a lesser charge for one guy in exchange for multiple charges against more people in an attempt to publicly appear to be attacking aggressive driving. Welcome to the real world. Your ride will be very bumpy if you don’t wake up to certain realities.

To echo Jake, to say the track is too far away to use is a tremendously poor argument. It makes zero logical sense. That doesn’t make street racing ok. And more importantly it does not mitigate the liability issues here (that is the big complaint here, right, the club’s rule?). It means there are not enough tracks or you need to move closer to a track. If that is your best argument, then use all this energy to go work on solving one of those issues.

If you truly think we are wrong, then open your wallet and start your own forum. Stop being interweb mouths and go put your neck on the line. Yeah, I didn’t think so.
