Racing on the track on the street anywhere is perfect. In a perfect world every town would have a place for us to have fun and do our thing. But they don't so we work with what we have.

"Crush their cars", "give them million dollar fines", "send them to a concentration camp". I do wonder where this country is leading. Fascism is obviously not far away. The fact that it looks as though Tony Abbott's about to form government says it all.

The problem is when people race in built up areas Plain and simple.

But many people of my age don't have the will power to say no to peer pressure. and that causes the problems. and i will be honest. if there were more race tracks then i would not hessitate going to the race track with my friends and fighting it out On a Safe, Control Envoirment. Now as The VRX Lancers Produce 125kw's of power that is still a lot of power. Also i have a comment to make about the licensing system. I feel that (i live in Queensland) the hazzard test sSHOULD BE DONE EVEN BEFORE YOU GET YOUR P1. what is the sense in doing that test after you have been on the road for a year or more. and by not doing this test first up it menas that every P1 driver may not be to stardard to be on the road.

This would allow us to actually go ahead and race 3, 4 or 5 of our friends at once in safe controlled environment. The problem with Wicked Wednesdays at Western Sydney International Drag ways, it's in Sydney and difficult to get there It also has a huge amount of reputation and a hell of a lot of cars go in the event meaning a lot more people miss out this leads them to illegal street racing to test there cars. This is why i believe we need more controlled places or allow people to have private venues on there property but the dam stupid laws prohibit them. This is off the topic a bit but relates in a way: Also it's really not fair that Red P's are only allowed 1 passenger in the car, I can see the point that yes less people in the car at night means less people will get hurt in the short term but in the long run it's hurting just as much. I have seen a situation where I was designated driver for a friend and 3 other people were left at a party with there cars, Personally I didn't know them but I offered them a lift risking my license to stop 3 people from potentially killing them selves or others I agree with needing more venues, the government has held back a proposal for a track out in the Jilliby area this is located right next to the free way.

that would make me really upset and just
go back to the samethign again i might be
upset and down for the meanwhile but its like
a drug once u deep in there its hard for you to get out
lets say its like smoking cigaretts fo those who smoke
or like drinking when u an alcoholic so for those who havent actually been thru it they dont know the feeling.

My son was going the opposite direction, doing the speed limit minding his own business 4 days before Christmas 2007. He left behind a 2 year old little girl. The kid was doing 100mph lost control flipped went airborn and landed upside down right on my son he never knew what hit him. My son was "impaired" so he would have gone home slept it off and still be alive, but we are being sued figure that out!!!!!!!!!!!! my son was killed by a 19 year old who was street racing.

As for the idiots that street race, ban them for life from driving. Too easy. A large fine as well will give them something to think about as well.
