I thought smurf's post was valid, if people could take their car to a track more readily then they should/probably would get over street racing etc.
But what happens when there is no track close to where u live, or u have to drive 90 minutes to a track that is crap??
The gov supports the community for every activity you could think of except motor sport, people with guns get shooting galleries provided , hell even heroin addicts get them. +1 for more tracks, shit have cops at them and over a period of time perhaps the relationship would improve between modified car owners and the police.
How about the government pay for me to rock up at a track, fuel up my car(not as cheap as the free heroin they get from their busts) and do some laps. then not defect me on the way home for what is legal just because my car is not some dunga unroadworthy, unregistered, uninsured piece of shit blowing smoke etc, that they arent going to get a $$ from because the owners of such rides are typically broke anyway.
No doubt it is horrible to see people die on the road but in terms of what kills people in australia each year is the road toll even in the top 100? also u can simply not expect to have zero road toll, i expect the road toll this year to be the roughly the same as 20 years ago, is it?
Ideally id like a situation where it was so easy to take ur car to the track and that it was frowned upon by everyone to conduct any sort of racing on the street.
i could crap on forever tho, i better go get my fire blanket ready
