-Don't get me started on that!
But anyway, all of the ricers, er...drifters, need to look at the old James Dean film "Rebel without a Cause". Pay special attention to the "chicken run" sequence, when Buzz and Jim (Dean) play chicken on an oceanfront cliff.
Eventually someone is going to lose.
I pretty much quit street racing when I heard about a crash that happened here several years ago. 5.0 'stang vs. 'vette, well they were racing along at night (middle of the night I might add) when a car attempted to cross the intersection that was in the middle of their race. The 'vette sliced the car in two killing everyone inside, somehow the 'vette driver survived(in what shape I don't know), the 'stang fled the scene and was never caught (though any sane person knows his conscience caught him).
Yeah I was twenty and invincible once, I had a succession of two V8 Chevelles ('71 'vert, '69 hi-po coupe) that held their own in the early '90s street racing scene. Yeah the Lord blessed me, I never got into an accident, and was only caught once, but the cop went after the car that was winning the race (and I got the hell out of there!).
Whether its playing chicken, street-racing or drifting, point is, someone is going to come up the loser, could be you, could be your buddy, could be an innocent bystander... (anyone read about the street-racing accident where the guy killed his own Mom?!)... freak stuff happens and can happen to you!
