Do you think people who illegal street race are ‘bad people’?

    There is nothing cheap about track days unless you mean drag racing. And even still, you know most people’s cars won’t pass tech inspection.

      The one held in my city is pretty reasonable. And if they’re not passing inspections to race on a track then they shouldn’t be racing on the street either.

        Have you seen the average car on the road? There’s plenty of people driving cars in such disrepair they’re just as dangerous as street “racers” that won’t pass tech. I might prefer a speeder with an old drip over a dipshit that ignored the grinding noise and wore brake pads down to the backing plates

          So that’s a completely different conversation. One that I think the US should have, mind you, since I agree that it’s wildly unsafe.

          But my point is that if your car can’t pass inspection, it shouldn’t be on the road, and it definitely shouldn’t be racing, on-track or no.
