there is a time and reason many people leave the streets for the track. hopefully you will figure it out before you are the statistic.
want some of teh good ones you can be a part of?
you are 7 times more likely to crash racing on the street than on a track
you are 26 times more likely to suffer serious or fatal injuries
medical assistance at an average race track in this country is on the vehicle in under 1 minute, on the average street in this country help is over 7 minutes away. crash at excessive speeds and you will learn very quickly what 6 minutes is worth

yup, doesn't hurt a soul does it?

yeah, but thats philly. Its densly populated, and just about every time, theyre racing on streets with intersections and lots of traffic/people. And im willing to bet drinking and driving kills more people a year than street racers. Almost Everryyyytiiime, the people i see on the news that died from "excessive speed" or "street racing" are racing in busy, high-traffic areas. And theyre also quite inexperienced in the racing world.
