On the track or on the street any damage to your ride either by you or the other guy is all coming out of your pocket. No insurance will cover you and at the track you sign that you are aware damage and injury can occur and you release liability...
 
right. It's not real street racing in those movies, so it kind of gives kids unrealistic expectations than a show that is actually more real overall like street outlaws. <3 farm truck by the way. I still think all the variables of participating is too dangerous for me to feel comfortable entering my car. You never know when you might need an ambulance and they're ready to go right away in a drag racing scenario at a track, whereas in a street race that's going to be a huge delay for emergency service to arrive in a worst-case scenario. If you don't do anything wrong and someone's car comes apart damaging yours at a track, you could sue them for damages at least. In a street racing scenario you would probably have a hard time ever seeing a penny from a participant if his car or his driving affects your ride. I would say that in my early 20's I might have had different views about this subject than I do now. Seeing a person laid out after a crash, dead, is probably one of the things I have seen since then to contribute my change of mind! It is not a pretty site to see someone 'stretched out' in real life. Hard to watch without it affecting you forever.
yeah the loss of life sucks and it hits hard i've lost a few friends already, dude was doing 120 and hit a tree (all his fault kid was an idiot who does 120 in a city) and i myself have been pulled out on a stretcher due to road rage and high speeds trying to escape the situation (hit a pole sideways at 70 no seatbelt) but even with all that i still think a secluded stretch of forgotten highway is the best alternative when the tracks are 2 far away.

i know almost no one will share my views on this but everyone has their own opinion lol
 
Well if you are going to do what you're going to do just be careful out there. Fire extinguishers are a big deal. It's not even +10 pounds to carry one so don't be cheap... it could save someone's life! Better to have and not need than vice versa. Abandoned schools are a good place to come across working fire extinguisher for free, if you're lucky.
