[GT40FIED]

Everyone I suppose has the right of free assembly...but that seems a bit hypocritical for racers to knock other racers who may not have any other choice. Now, if there's a track 30 minutes from your house and it's open you don't have an excuse. There's a track roughly 30-45 minutes from me but they won't let me race there. Plus it'll most likely get closed because it's within earshot of a bunch of rich people. Conveniently some of these rich people are the owners of a large bank chain that owns the deed to the land the track is on. Plus the track is in a horrible state of disrepair and hasn't been kept up over the years. Next closest track is in Topeka (about 1 1/2 hours away) and I doubt they'll let me race there either so I'm not willing to make the drive out just so I can get turned away and drive all the way back. So I'm pretty much out of options and for other racers who don't have this problem to criticize me is just bullshit. Want me off the street? Fine...build a track near my house and let me race there. I won't give up my hobby and one of the few activities I feel passionately about just because there's a backlash against motorsports in this country. Hell...they've already passed laws in certain parts of Mass. making it illegal to modify your exhaust for the purpose of making it louder (i.e. for performance purposes). Street racing can be done as long as you're responsible and careful. I'm not talking about racing through traffic....find a secluded spot at night and make sure there's no one near you that isn't involved in the race. Once that's done in a correct fashion then the only dangers you face are the same ones you'll see at a legal track. So f*ck those hypocritical bastards and their high and mighty shit.
