improvedae86 Forums Junkie Location: Melbourne Registered: January 2003	Re: watch out racers Fri, 18 February 2005 02:03 Yeah this is not good as always the end result is people who drive respecfully in modified cars will get given a harder time yet again . Really once again the Government is doing jack shit to give young people any outlet for the use of there cars . Wow we have the drags at Calder once every two weeks ? The Drift nights i think are every second weeks as well . But just look at the price , alot of younger people would rather spend the entry money on there car . I know when i was the age of most of the people related to that kind of meet i didn't have the funds to spend on the petrol to power the car , so going to track at $55-$80 would have been out of the question . Also that happened in the South/East which for people from that area have a bloody long trip across to Calder . In the future Calder might not even be there since the housing area moving in on the track at a fast rate , shit the track was there before people moved in that windy area . And as far as the closest track located to that area Sandown , well you cannot start up a car there during the week without all the resedents complaning . And once again the track was there before the houses . Soon no tracks in the inner melbourne areas , then the result will be the seroius racers turn to the streets then the danger of your local P plater with a six cylinder commodore will look bloody insignificate compaired to 10 second drag cars let loose . How much would it really cost to stick a track in say a area of that waste land of the side of the south-eastern down the cranbourne end or some area which could easely be driven to by the interlinked freeway system . I have seen the sidestreets in some areas of Melbourne have more spent on changing the curbs to bluestones than a track would cost . It doesnt have to be to world race standards i could just have a 1/8 mile strip with a small circuit for drift , which during the week could be used as a go kart track business to recover some of the costs . As far as staffing such a place just use a voltantering system which hours worked equal hours free on the track etc . A full time quilified person in the adminstration of such a venture couldn't cost more than the monthly sandwich bill at the local council meetings . But really as far as the owner living in that area , surely comerial zoning doesn't permit that occuring ? Yeah if he kept his head in i am sure that he wouldn't have maybe been given a hard time by the racers . Not that i am condoning street racing but people in general stick there noses in on modifing car people far to offen lately . Most younger people cannot even drive down there street with a loud exhaust at the speed limit without some older person giving them a dirty look . Surely they where young once . Most story i hear from people who where 18+ 20-30 years ago which enjoyed cars as a hobby talk of racing someone and every set of lights , every young person when they got on the road just when and purchased the fastest car they could afford . Petrol and the car's where cheaper vs the ecomony and rate of lowest wage at the time , plus people drove drunk all the time which P platers just cannot do now . Does afew people driving down a street which at that time of night in a area which no people should be living in vs as a example 15 years ago , the Warbuton run from pub to pub , or the magic mile sorento continantial pub to portsea pub which was on every week. Which seem more dangerious given the age of the vehicle's technology and drunk state of the racers . Easy really , every sunday you could see reefs around trees on any country road drive from such activertys . And if there such a big proplem he maybe there should think for a second about the states at the moment . http://nikita.arheim.no/Dateline_Street_Racing.wmv [Report message to a moderator]
