No absolutely not off base. I understand your position/s completely! The main reason I posted on this thread was to address the ludicrousy behind not listing street names and where it was going on. This YOUR sand box my friend, and we are all guests. If you want to drop the hammer and say no street racing stories at all, im 100% behind it. Im not here to read kill stories, or talk crap to people who post kill stories, im here for the wealth of information regarding my WRX. Granted, my name can be found in more then one or two kill threads, I happen to wonder by from time to time
As of right now my personal opinion on the matter is make a dedicated room for it. People who want to read that sorta stuff can help themselves, and the people who hate street racing to death just need to man up, and not go in that section. Weather we post about it, and discuss it, and cheer on our friends, or weep by there side when they loose, it will never ever, ever change the fact of the matter. My opinion, should matter little in how you choose to pursue the matter, because as I said, this is YOUR sandbox, you need to handle the matter as you see fit.
If it is any consolation, it would be nice to have a place to give some, dare I say, instruction, to those who have questions about “why did I loose against a stock celica?” or, “I took the turn really fast, but the car didn’t want to turn, why?” they can be answered, by a panel of people who would like to all give there .02. Its been my experience as a driver, and as someone who works in the field of instruction, that there are some really F’n crazy people driving on the street. If I or anyone here could help any amount of those people be safer/better drivers, then its better then not seeing it at all. Out of sight out of mind isn’t always the best course of action.
