Street Racing Crash Backlash

[wilch]

No. It looks like they will be showing footage from WSID. LEGAL drag racing, all while talking about illegal street racing...Further blurring the difference between those of us that do things right, and those of us that don't care about the safety of others.

[NXTIME]

I used to attend all the popular and unpopular street racing spot back when I was a young man.... But I wisened up and prefer the legal form of drag racing much more.

ACA and TT are just in it for the ratings, the don't care about what is right or wrong, what is orrect or not, what is fact or fixtion. They regularly mix some if not all in their cooking pot of farcical sensationalistic TV journalism.

Idiots.

Great journalism there ACA.

This was last nite on ACA:

This was about 10 months ago on ACA:

Recycled garbage.. But yes they are idiots on the vids

Oh that car crushing of the civic was from a dude in America:

[GTL05T]

how stupid is the guy admitting he'd driven 290km/hr geez talk about honesty lol

Does ACA choose tools like the guy that being interviewed? Surely hes not doing any of us

car enthusiast any favor =/

I am really pissed at police senior management for this.

There is no better way to push cars back INTO street racing than making the only legal venue, WSID, unsafe (ie don't go, you might get defected afterwards).

Idiots.

Let's understand that the police don't have a serious desire to do anything. They simply want to look like they are doing something and to get it on the news. The police need to deal with the root causes but instead they treat the symptoms. It pretty easy to believe there is a speeding problem outside WSID but there is not a street racing problem there. Maybe what they should do is actually try to bust people at real street races or even better, help people understand there is a safe alternative on the track.

How much preventive interaction do you see between the police and car clubs? 98% of the people on this forum would dob in a dangerous street race and we clearly don't support it - but instead of engaging and using us to get the message across, they make is less likely people will attend legitimate events. Where was the community outreach booth at the show and shine?

If those were my parents that were killed I'd be more than upset at a token meaningless response

One thing that also shitted me, was in June, Craig (trust33) and myself participated in the offstreet drifting at driftland at Oran Park.

Half way through the night all the track officials told us to take off our number plates because 2 hwy patrol cars turned up and were apparantly "taking down rego's" of our cars.

As we left the night I saw a couple of general duties in the area and they gave me a "frowning of a lifetime" but didnt pull me over

I do not understand why they turned up.

Idiots.

The best advice I have ever been given is if ACA or TT ever approach me to do a story on ANYHTHING, tell them to f off. When they record, they take a lot of footage. You think that they're going to portray what you want, but htey'll always turn it around because of ratings. They do what sells. Bogans and old people want to hear about illegal street racing.

Imagine if ACA or TT did a story - good honest people do legal drag racing at WSID. no one would watch it.

Sterling effort yet again from our good friends ACA. Biggest bunch of clueless shit talking bastards on the face of the planet, they should be shot.

[tbag]

the only reason they crush the cars in amereica is cause the young guys don't know there rights.

i would really like to see them get a ferrari or lambo and try to crush that, they would have no way of doing it cause the owner of the cars that are worth heaps also have a legal team that'll back them up.

our licences are NOT privliges the ARE OUR RIGHT as we are tax paying people and we pay the people that make our laws. we also pay the police so they should leave us the f!$k alone and catch the real crims!!!!

That is some of the stupidest shit I've ever heard. An attitude like that is why people like you shouldn't have licenses. You don't need a license. Its not a right. Its something you should prove you should have, with a combination of skill and maturity.

And just because you pay tax that funds lawmakers doesn't mean shit. There's laws against murder too, but it doesn't give taxpayers the right to kill other people just because they pay their wages.

Grow the f**k up.

There were two uniform cops in the pits at the last Circuit Club track day.
