untrue, that was a deaths while street racing figuredaedalus said:
untrue again, just because someone doesn't post about it doesn't mean they didn't get into an accident while street racing, and i've seen posts where people mention things broke or they hit something while racing, it just doesn't make it into the "street racing section" because it's not something they brag about, which is all that section is, a bragging sectiondaedalus said:

Why does having the street racing forum bother so many people. Its not hard to just not go to it if you don't approve. It's basically the same as when people get offended by things they see on a certain show, if you know you don't approve of the show then don't watch it. It really irritates me that people think that their view should be forced upon someone else. Plain and simple if you don't like it, don't read it.

this isn't even an issue, I'm sure we all have more importants things to do than worry about having a street racing section. It doesn't hurt and deleting it won't help.
it may encourage it, but getting rid of it sure as hell won't stop it. they are entire forums & on-line communities dedicated to street racing. its just one of those things you have to let be.

totally missing the point, it's not that people are street racing because of it. people who street race are going to regardless. by having a section where people can go and brag about their races, it is a form of promotion of street racing. some people like the attention they get from others responding to their thread, so they could be more likely to race.YellowSpeedInNY said:
can anyone argue why there should be a street racing section? what function does it serve?
I voted to keep it. We need to rid the world of more stupid people. Thing like helmet laws and seatbelt laws, speed limits keep stupidity in our gene pool. If people want to drag on the street and htey end up rolling thier cars 15 times then its on them. They should be smart enough to know that they should not be doing it in the first place. But hell its a long lived tradition since the muscle car days and it will never go away just because you remove a thread. They didnt even have the interent when the mustangs were whooping the chevy's back in the late 60's
and having a dedicated section to modification encourages us to void our warrenties and speed. I mean, whats the point of a new exahust and FMIC if you dont want to go faster... Its like saying, this community encourages you to build a HELLA FAST CAR, but just dont use it for that... and if you do, dont ever speak about it, because everytime you do god is going to kill a panda.

your right i just visited the street racing section and now i have the need, the need for speed
.the function is that a lot of ppl were posting abuot street racing in other sections of the board and as you can tell from this thread a lot of ppl didnt want to see that. the street racing forum was to have a place for all these threads to be posted so they could be more easily ignored by others.
I think its stupid to do and even worse to brag about but it serves an administrative purpose on the forums. I think an acceptable change would be making that like the dumpster where it empties itself on a rotating basis, but still call it the street racing section so ppl will post their threads there.

last i checked, voiding your warranty isn't illegal and modding your car doesn't change how fast your car can go, only how quickly your car can get there. i go 80 on the highway regardless of what i'm driving, for better or worse. there is also no "successful speeding runs" section.daedalus said:
