    Based upon the negative impact to society: Drunk driving and it’s not even close.

    That is not to say that illegal street racers deserve any kind of award. They are a special kind of fucking idiot. They just don’t tend to kill as many people. Back in my teens, I was one of those fucking idiots. Until I witnessed a girl, about my own age, being struck and killed by a street racer.

    That was the last time I ever raced on the street. I still raced, I just took the time to get my licenses and spent the money to do it on a track. Honestly, once you race on a track you realize just how stupid street racing really is on so many levels.

      Exactly 🤘 tracking your car is so much more rewarding than street racing. Not only does it get the adrenaline going, but the feeling of beating your pb/friend is absolutely amazing 👌
