Yeah, because people usually think their opinion is wrong
And how could I have missed the point of the thread when I MADE THE THREAD?!?
Well... Firstly, I never called him a wanker. Don't put words in my mouth. And why is it that if someone dies, you cannot reprimand them? Why, if they're stupid enough to kill themselves instead of being smart enough to keep their speeds lower, can you not denigrate and school their actions? Although I feel for his family and loved ones he's left behind, I don't feel that he's out of bounds for comment because he died.
Who are you? I don't know anyone from Melbourne with a DC2? Did I win the race? The turbo timer was to cool the car down after using Nitrous.
In fact, I have had a major accident whilst doing something stupid. I wrote off my second car, and I'm just glad I didn't hurt or involve anyone else whilst doing so... Yes, I was a wanker, dickhead, loser, whatever... I can take it because it's true.
But I'm glad to be able to say that I've matured from that stage in my life... I'm able to better evaluate risks and potential shortcomings of my actions, and although I may still have a small squirt from the lights (I won't lie and say I don't), I won't goto organised street races for the sole purpose to race. That's what the track is for.
and THAT my friend, is the point of this thread.
