dick johnson's got the idea - good to see him get into the whole lakeside and hooning.

But he said more facilities should made available for car-loving teens to stop them from racing on city streets.
RACQ spokesman Gary Fites said it had to be acknowledged that young people "like cars . . . it's a cultural phenomena".

"It's important to note that people who like fast flashy cars, shouldn't necessarily be targeted because they like fast flashy cars," he said.

but wtf?!

Building tracks for amateur enthusiasts would not solve the problem because a "fair percentage" of illegal racers were anti-social.

no news here..

illegal and organisde street racing, etc goes on in every state, and has done for decades. Its just a bit easier to organise these days with technology.

It takes place in melbourne, sydney, and S.E. QLD.. no big deal, it just seems all of a sudden the media has worked it out after all this time.

Racing in redcliffe isnt a new thing, I remember back in 1989 going to Anzac ave sat nights to watch them race up and down it until the cops came, lucky we used to park a couple of blocks away at a mates and tell the cops we were just walking home from the beach and didnt know what was going on.....

Musta been a slow news Sunday!

yeah, its no big news that people race in morayfield and redcliffe, but some of the information and 'facts' that the 'reporter' (i prefer to think of them as storytellers...) of this story has come up with are utter crap... grrrr... makes my blood boil.

in the story, they made reference to cars 'lapping' in morayfield as if it was the end of the world or something?!?!?! No mention of anything illegal or anything, just driving around....!!?!?!?!?!?!

I mean, ffs!!!!

meh, they run a story like this every year or so to keep the people aware that cops are still trying to stop hoons. that is all it is, to stir up a bit of a crack down, then it all dies down again. it's ahppened before it'll happen again. that young guy mite not have said any of thise sthings, the paper mite have made them all up for all we know, but if he did, hes a tool. sif u will get away, your not in the melenium falcon any more toto!

3 decades that I know of and more before that

Its like that episode of the Simpsoms when they ban beer.

In the end they will have to accept it and work with it.

It'll be always there!

Nothing new in that story....

I mean Cyrus is right i remember going to Anzac Ave back in the early 90's like 12 years ago...

Also the top speed 220kph was not up anzac ave... They just made it sound that way...

What an idiot talking to the reporters and letting them take a photo of him.; (I know who it is) and as if people wont not know who it was.

I dont encourage racing..... I just like watching...

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
