[QOUTE] He said more extreme measures might be needed to stamp out illegal street racing.

You have to question whether, as in the case of the United States, the solution to this problem is in part the compacting of vehicles into a cube dropped on the front lawn of their homes,'' Mr Moroney told reporters today.Maybe that's the message that they've got to understand [/QOUTE]

ur right there duncan.

i dont beleive that the media want to let the message across to people that the track is where its at if there is to be any real order for racing on the street.

i particularly dont like the implication that street racing is coming from people who go to the drags.

It is getting hard to live in west. I have been for awhile now pff my P's but guys....my skyline is not coming out for another 2-3 weeks...hehehehe

When we stop speeding we get pulled over anyway for owing a Skyline, even is no skylines involved in this crazy.....race!!!!!

I realy feel sorry for the couple which died but why we are involved in all this????

It just goes to show u dont have to go over the speed limit to be racing , I wish Wade Watson seen the race he would tell us what happened

[eugen_syd]

Chris,

I lay down until water gets a little bit higher so I can swim again.... if you know what I mean...

EUG.

PS. I can not change this world ....I just live in it.

I agree with both Duncan and Trust33. Instead of advertising the fact that there is a legal place to drag race, what do the police do? Crackdown on those cars that are attending the sole place that will get the street racers off public roads. It's absolutely ridiculous. But then again, they are just implementing their typical knee-jerk reaction in order for the public to believe that they are actually doing something positive. The only positive thing here is that many of those who are supporting the legal form or drag racing won't be returning. Guess where they will be?

The police should have been at the many well known illegal street racing spots that are all over Sydney. They know where they are, but that would mean that they actually did something right for once.

Idiots.

Oh, and why the hell would they have undercover officers inside WSID? Again, that will do nothing but facilitate the widing of the gap between police and driver relations.

Clowns.

Just ban all cars already FFS!

We all need to ride bicycles! or tricycles with training wheels for the newbie P platers...

But then the police might target bicyle burn outs.. ->

[Duncan]

well....squashing a car into a cube is no worse than keeping the car in a police impound where everything like stereo/wheels etc will be stolen off it and insurance won't cover it.

Bottom line is - cheif of police sai he doesn't understand what it will take to get through to hoons. Clearly true because he is alientating the people whose attitude he is trying to change

[eugen_syd]

Victor..did you achieve that??????how much power to the wheel????

HEHEHEHEHHEHEHE

[eugen_syd]

Ohhhh I mean steering wheel..hehehehe

[GTR32GUS]

If u are a P-plater life might be a little bit easier as u are no longer public enemy #1 that title is now held by the Street racers

[Trust33]

Oh, and why the hell would they have undercover officers inside WSID? Again, that will do nothing but facilitate the widing of the gap between police and driver relations.

Clowns.

undercover officers to do what?get a look at the cars that are racing legaly.then burn them for driving it home after an event.

its downright bloody rude.

hang on.lets start getting the people walking home drunk because they are in a no alcohol zone.compareably the same shit.

it doesnt take a genious to see that they are being assholes.and that they should really be out targeting the real criminals.killers,rapists,assaultists and drug dealers.

[SECURITY]

i think they were only after people speeding, not defecting anyone. be realistic, not everyone who goes to WSID is a car enthusiast and only gives it a hit on the track. alot of those who get done are spectators who are hyped from watching it all night, not just the competitors.

it wasnt a shit go, if you were speeding that night you got caught. move on?

[NXTIME]

If anyone was doing anything wrongn going to and from WSID or wherever else, then they must cop it sweet. that is probably the only part of the police blitz that I cannot and will not be against. This is a given no matter where you are on public roads. How many of these cars were done for illegal street racing? None. It was a blatant crackdown that was designed to make the police appear to be doing something proactive in the eyes of the public, where in effect, all they were doing was making those who were supporting legal off-street racing think twice about attending future WSID events for fear of being defected or worse. I don't agree with the undercover police being at WSID unless they have a serious motive/suspicion of illegal activity. If the purpose of this blitz was to target potential street racers, then they should be out at the many well known street racing spots with the aim of pushing these racers into going to WSID. Instead they are doing the opposite.

lol that video footage just confirms that P platers in R31's out in the west think they're sick street racers because they drive something with a skyline badge
