The track or a private road is better than the highway where there are still others sharing the road with you.

Its EGO... it all comes down to Ego. I know first hand because I have been stupid in the past as well. You are right though, LA does have a lot of people who DGAF. The worst are the extremes, the poor areas and rich areas. Both DGAF for different reasons.

To be honest, it's also the cars now. When I was younger it took some serious time and money to have a FI car with lots of HP. Now, these same lower tier cars are coming off the lot with gobs of HP. So you have these young drivers with lots of Ego, lots of power, and a poorly developed prefrontal cortex. Unfortunately it's bound to happen.

Something about LA draws me, there's a lot of redeeming qualities. But I could totally see myself settling down in Orange County for a reason.

This was pretty recent as well. The community was worried that they kid's dad was going to have it swept under the rug because of his wealth. I'm glad he admitted to manslaughter. |

I hope he gets more than just house arrest. Another thing to add to the story is that the girl he killed just graduated from college.

i just took a vacation to LA. I'm not sure how its even possible to street race there. There is traffic everywhere, even at night. I had a TTRS and was maybe able to hit redline a handful of times. even on the drive to malibu you can't really push it.

Nowadays it's isolated incidents at stop lights or outright takeovers of intersections and streets for lame-ass sideshows. People also enjoy Tōge in the canyons (CA2, SGR, Mulholland etc) but that comes with its own risks. Personally, there's too many local tracks to choose from to risk it on the street.

Most of the races happen at night when the freeways and streets are clear. These are still super dangerous, but not as bad. The other type of street racing is the Ego fueled "I gotta get to the light faster than you", "my car is faster", "I'm a better driver" types. Those are the people who are weaving through traffic and cutting people off.

I haven't been to Irwindale in years. Is it closing down?

It's just unfortunate when people get injured in life altering ways and/or die. What's that line from Unforgiven - when you kill a man, you take away everything he has and will ever be or something? |
