Naw, I'm right here.  Gonna have some new guitar samples up tomorrow.

The crazy person.

Who are you addressing?

Why do you say suicide is a problem?

I have.   But when I saw an open road, boy, I went for it.

The innocent bystanders in this case would be the other motorists on the road.  Please cease engaging in this dangerous activity for the sake of the public that has to share the roads with you.

Yeah, I'm a real menace to society.  

Dallas police have a message for teen street racers: Cars are deadly weapons.

“Kids feel like they’re bulletproof,” said traffic unit commander Lt. Scott Bratcher. They can say they have control of their vehicles when they’re driving 80 or 90 mph, “but you don’t.”

Colin Stone, 16, died when his BMW crashed into four other vehicles during a November street race with another BMW driven by a 17-year-old on Northwest Highway near Shady Brook Lane.

The second driver, who faces a second-degree felony racing charge, fled but turned himself in to police Tuesday. They declined to release his name because of his age. He was 16 at the time of the crash.

Police say a teen driver in another race, on New Year’s Day, turned himself in Wednesday. His name has not been released. According to police, his Suburban collided with a pickup driven by Elias Silva-Gonzalez, 43.

Police are still searching for the other racer, who witnesses said was driving a white Ford Crown Victoria, according to police.

�As a Professional drag racer, I think it is my responsibility to let people know that illegal street racing is dangerous and senseless. In almost every community there is a safe place to drag race in an organized environment. If the Professional and Sportsman-level racers don't speak out about the dangers of illegal street racing, then legitimate drag racers will continue to get lumped in with these people that are breaking the law. We spend too much time on making sure we do things safely and by the book to have our great sport dragged down by people who are risking their lives and the lives of innocent bystanders.�

�I grew up without a local dragstrip, and it's scary to see kids and people illegal street racing. I grew up in a racing family and knew the dangers, and it's a big part of the reason that I want to bring a strip to northwest Arkansas because illegal street racing is one of the most dangerous, foolish acts that people can do.�

�I think racing at a sanctioned racetrack has to be the smartest, safest thing to do. Get rewarded for going fast, as opposed to going to jail � or worse!�

�Along with our sponsors at Checker Schuck's Kragen, we got involved in a program called Race on the Track, Never on the Street, and it has been one of the most rewarding things I've ever done. Over the years, we've met with thousands of high-school-aged kids, who are all just starting to drive and thinking about doing stupid things like racing on the street, and we've always been right in their faces about it. We never sugarcoated it or tried to be slick with them. We just told them, �Look, you're going to learn from some of the mistakes you make in your life, but you might not ever have the chance to learn from this one. You could end up in jail, you could end up dead, or even worse, you could carry the death of a friend of yours with you for the rest of your life.' There are NHRA tracks all over the country, where people will help you go fast. Drag racing is a wonderful sport that will thrill you for the rest of your life. Illegal street racing is just plain stupid and very deadly.�

"My first street bike felt like a rocket ship. So many of us had fast bikes, and street racing was a way to show who was the fastest. But when my friends got killed street racing, I went to an NHRA drag race and asked Professional motorcycle drag racer Terry Vance for advice. The track was real racing in a safe place that I turned into a professional motorcycle drag racing career. I street raced my motorcycle, thinking that I was better than all the guys that had died street racing. Then one night I just missed getting killed in front of all my buddies. I discovered the dragstrip, had a blast, and turned running from the cops into a successful racing career. Running from the cops and maybe jail ain't cool.  Kick street racing bikes to the curb and hit the dragstrip for a blast and maybe even a career."
     
RACE THE STRIP, NOT THE STREET

Bahahahahahahahahaha................. Sorry.. It was a total joke... I have the most wonderful life ever..... Great little family Smiley

When I was a kid I once met the greatest driver of all time when I was attending the Daytona 500 with my parents.  Many years later he died in an accident at that very same venue.  It doesn't matter how good you are (and you do not approach the skill level of a professional driver), accidents will happen in racing and they need to stay off the streets.

By any definition, a person who admits to a history of driving under the influence of illegal drugs greater than 80% of the time, speeding recklessly at 50 MPH+ beyond the speed limit, and engaging in street racing is an awful driver and a public menace.

When I read your posts the only thing that comes to mind is "suicide"

That's funny, I'm the best driver I know.
