[QUOTE="sdoo500, post: 15560679, member: 129968"] No way to truly justify it as being ok, but I'm one who thinks it's about time and place. The roll racing to well above 120+ on busy highways during the day is completely idiotic and pointless. Racing from light to light, also stupid. I think that it's something the news talks about because it sounds more interesting and dangerous than all the distracted driving that's going on. There is a decent scene local to me and it's a small group of guys, empty industrial park in the middle of the night. Can things happen and people get hurt? Absolutely. Is it stupid? Yes. But the risks are about as mitigated as they can be for the activity and I have no problem admitting it excites me and I enjoy it. The only people at risk of getting hurt are the guys racing, as well as the few spectators who know what they're watching and the risks. It's not impossible to get to the track but it is difficult. For me, closest track is two hours without traffic. For me to go up for a street night, have to load up night before, leave work early, a couple hundred in fuel and food and then more often than not, I only get two or three passes in before someone breaks or the track is just busy.
