I keep most of my racing at the track. From the looks of the article it's a group w/ big mouths and nothing to back it up.

FWIW, I had the DRS "Flagship" Cobra try and run me one night on 183. Heh.. wasn't even close .

Yeah, I agree, no bashing. As long as its not any traffic, organized, I'm cool with it. I used to go to them all the time in S.A. but too many people died racing during 3 oPM on some of the busiest streets, so the police cracked down on the "hot spots", now thre's no where SAFE to race on the streets.

Did yall see that tv news story a month or two ago about sportbikes terrorizing the streets of Dallas? I guess "real" crime is down, huh?
Don't get me wrong, I think there is a time and place for almost everything, but I'm tired of the media painting the worst possible picture of motorcycles and sports cars. And I guess I'm even more tired of idiots talking to reporters on behalf of everyone else (funny how that works out, isn't it).

Question

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by vettethreat94z:
It's getting bad out there. Real bad.

I don't even waste my time, gas and tires going out there anymore.

All these little DFW-area "crews" sure do seem to love telling reporters what's going on out there.

</font>

Where do those guys race at here in Arlington? Just curious.

Is it illegal to attend and watch street racing but not actually participate?
