altho rather heated and attacking danny has a point... there is more to it than ppl in VLs... most of the idiots ive seen on the TV at these things and the one i was walking past down moorabbin one night were mainly ppl in shitboxes. stock Ford 4.1litres and Holden 3.8s... wankers in their lowered civics and preludes... V8 meat heads and even a few ppl in city 4WDs!
if there was a place for these ppl to go so that they didnt have to do this in public, even if it isnt "in public" and away from built up areas, then this wouldnt be as frequent... as usual the givernment makes too much money thru fines to bother tying to come up with a way to keep these ppl entertained and off the streets.
what happend when skaters were tearing up the sidewalks? they built more places for them to go... now there are less incidents were skaters are getting in trouble in public areas... sure they still do it but not as frequent. The same should be done for drag racing... ppl like to push their cars... lets make it possible for these ppl to do so in a safe environment more often... calder i hear u say??? PFFFFFFFFFt 50 ****ing dollars for around 3 of 4 runs... get real... the dragways in NZ are held more often and in more places and cost a hell of a lot less... if they made it more affordable and at more than one far away venue this would more than likely cut down the illegal stuff.
