It's because the motor is spinning 4,000 RPM at 60MPH!

I would like to see more legalized racing. Get the idiots off the road. Well thats the idea anyways. lol.
Provide some weekend entertainment and a place to hangout. Itd be fun to watch. [/quote]
Problem with a track is LIABILITY and someone paying for it. There needs to be a governing body and safety limits put in place. Why pay for all that? Majority of your street racers wouldn't be interested in paying for the usage of a track. They can use a street and move around, so, law enforcement has to look for them? Majority of the time, they are found after an accident occurs.

Have any places started putting together anything like that? How successful was it at getting the street racers off the street and on the track?

I know it's a little OT, and kinda deviates, but is somewhat topical. Anyone been watching the Delphi Bankruptcy? GM is so tied in with them, if Delphi tanks, GM will be right behind them because of the spin off in '99. The pension plan is underfunded by $5B. Yes kids, that's Five Billion Dollars! If they cut the workers salary/benefit package to $20/hr, they can save it. It's currently at $65/hr. OUCH.

I don't know of any is the immediate area. I know there is one up near Sacramento, and a few down south. Cost would be extremely high to start one and then, to get neighbors to accept it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] yea right[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] I think there would be more grudge matches just outside the track, then on the track. Remember, your street racers in part, do it because it is against the law[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] and the adrenaline is better then drugs.

Famoso is our closest track. An hour and a half from fresno.
Famoso
Still if we had a smaller 1/8th track or somthing out here in the fresno/madera area i think it would get alot of people off the streets. And alot of business. I know alot of people that would be there every weekend. Id be out there once a month just to watch probably.

Skinner, don't worry about being Off Topic...this thread wouldn't be alive if we didn't talk about everything under the sun. However, I'm with Rescue...I don't watch the news much. Hell, I didn't even know there was an earthquake in Indian, until today. I look at the headlines on internet news pages, but that's only if I have time.
Oh, I winterized the fiver last night...it's getting cold. It snowed last week.
