BS on the timing of this. Street racing long predates the defund movement and has been getting worse for years. Of course, given the source of the article (Fox News), I am not surprised that they are trying to make this seem like a new thing to promote their own BS agenda.

Doesn’t mean that public roads are where someone should act like a complete moron.

It doesn't, but it's inevitable.

I’m just going to have to disagree with you on that one. There is zero reason to drag race down a public road other than stroke your ego and be an idiot.

It's certainly inevitable that people will street race more with less tracks to go to. People with their "itch" to race and "stretch their car out" are still going to find a place to race.

I'm not saying they should, but they will.

We’re not disagreeing. There’s no legit reason to street race, I’m saying it’s going to happen and you said it’s been going on forever.
