LOL, wait for the street racing legislation. Licence suspension, car crushed and gonads used to make Chinese herbal tea.
Did you talk to the guy?
Nah. He turned off at the first set of lights unfortunately.
Legislation. Blah. They still have to catch you first.
I was listening to CBC this afternoon and they were carrying a segment on street racing in Quebec City. The CBC reporter was with a guy who video tapes street races and then streams them on the Web from a US based server. I'll have to do a search to see if I can find the site. Anyway, the races seem to draw quite the crowd and last for about an hour (that is when the cops show up).
One of the drivers was justifying their form of street racing saying that it is safe as participants don't drive under the influence and that people at the start and finish lines communicate with one another so that racers know if there are any problems that would pose a safety hazzard.
While racing a guy on the highway is fun and I doubt I'd turn down the opportunity if (when) it presents itself again, I'd only do it if there wasn't anyone else on the roads. I don't like the idea of weaving in and out of traffic...that is what these street racers in Quebec City are doing at times.
Who here is involved with Solo II racing or any other race clubs? I'd really like to learn how to handle my car and test (and improve) my skills.
Cheers, Derek
