sad to hear, but lets see if this one makes it to today tonight...

2 pieces... :|

[R33S2]

T T wouldnt be interested cause they werent in radical rice burners

[Col-GTSX]

Thats right. They were aussie cars.

I saw the damage before they moved the cars. They had to have left the road at over 100kph to tear the ford in half.

[Del Sol]

Yeah it just wouldn't be the same if they couldn't write "high powered nissan turbo import" lol...

[Keegs]

sad to see, none the less if they were in a turbo "high priced nissan" this story would be plastered all over the news and the police would be screaming street racing from a mile away.

[Eug]

Police would not confirm reports the cars were drag racing.

this is what bugs me the most...

a car torn to bits and in 2 pieces or whatever.... it may not be obvious that they were drag

racing, but its obvious they were speeding well over the limit for that to happen.

throw in a nissan - and its instantly a drag... that said - you cant really blame the media either.

last night on the way back into the city from the southside, a white 33 gtst with stripes

plates 411 H** tried to go me - absolute d!ckhead!! kept his eyes on me, and not

on the road and constantly rev'd the car...

kept driving and he eventually got the picture...

Thank god no one but those in the cars were hurt and/or killed.

But please think of the real victims, those of the family who have suddenly lost someone who made a silly mistake and now will never be able to see again.

Yes it was stupid and no I will not be hypocritical and say that I have never done this sort of thing, but still no one deserves to lose thier life. This will certainly make me think next time my brain decides to do something stupid, which is become less of an occurance with each one of these reports.

But still my condolances to the freinds and family of those who have lost someone definatly before their time should have been due.

its sad to hear...i was told that the brakes screeched for about 5secs before impact.

[Silver'sR33]

its sad to hear...i was told that the brakes screeched for about 5secs before impact.

Brakes or tyres after brakes locked up? So what happened exactly - if the two cars were dragging then how did they collide with such force, presumably they would have been side by side or something?

[Nexus9]

So what happened exactly ?

two inexperienced idiots, driving well outside theirs and the cars capabilities

[OPM]

maybe they havent plastered it is beacause only they died and noone else was injured, and were in relative stock cars, like ss and falcon, now if these cars had stickers up the side, 10inch exhausts, spoilers to the ground etc, then maybe u would hear about it....

[predator]

well if the "brakes were locked up for 5 seconds" that could explain it.. overweight, underbraked tanks. A skyline can stop from 200km/hr in less than 5 seconds. and they say imports are dangerous.

[mines]

sad to heard that!

everyone should take the car to QLD raceway.

[Bobjones]

Sad, but happens too often...

Dickheads with something to prove...

I think we need a Skyline Oath, not to drag on the streets and those that try, post them up on a Sticky as the dickheads that they are..then they might get the picture.

You wanna race take it o Willowbank....

Cause drag racing on the street is like competing in the special olympics if you get my drift...

yea but I mean by the same token things like...."skids" and other "shenanigans" that occur can be just as dangerous...I think street racing has the worst rep but I must say mountain runs and some drifting activity that occurs is pretty unsafe as well....ppl get seriously hurt doing that as well...it just doesnt get the same critisism or publicity that street racing does.

my 2c

[Keegs]

btw Neil im not disagreeing with you, I reckon everyone should just pay the small amount of money and go to track days....I know thats sure as hell what ill be doing alot of with my new car!

[Bobjones]

I think ALL of it should be off the street...

traffic light drags burnouts in public whatever, take it home...hell the only skids I used to do were in my own street (the bastards re-surfaced last year so they are finally gone after 5 years...)

Its all about common sense, the sad thing is it is not that common.

As for mountain runs, well if it is a hill climb event fine, if its at night with inexperienced drivers trying to prove something then I have a problem.

I don't have a problem with the 0-60 traffic light jokes I pull on people, its when you start speeding its stupid...nothing like reving a wanker in an excel up at the lights only to watch them keep going...I shouldn't do it I know...but hey they are the ones breaking the law!!

[The_Paladin]

i reckon the oath is a good idea.........

i also reckon that the fines incured on 'hooning' should go to funding speedway facilites..........that would hopefully prevent these things...........though that would be in an ideal world.

any draft ideas for the oath? i'll start with the first rule.........

Rule one: No Poofters.

[predator]

That counts you out then mate

[R33S2]

how about No redneck wankers that fear steriotypes
