[Roger Vincent]

You are right Bill. I hear these rationalizations repeatedly. It's sad, beyond comprehension. If it were my child that had been killed, I believe my life would end as well.

6-99: Feel free create your own excuses to try and justify what has the potential for a loss of life, after all, you are safe and secure in your car(s) while others do not have that luxury.

You want to race, you want to do burnouts to stroke your ego and the crowds, do it at a track where your car has to pass a tech inspection before it's allowed to be raced or exhibit any speed passes just for the crowd(s).

The life you save might be that of a loved one, or your own.

Just my two cents worth, I'll sit back and watch the fireworks now from those who fall into lines 1-5 and above.
