If they started crushing cars for street racing, people might actually stop doing it. Impounds and points dont work. No one wants to see their hard earned money get crushed. I'm not agreeing with the 'modified for street racing' part of the article, but if they can prove you were racing someone else, take the ****ing car and crush it like a soda can.

Ive been street racing for a couple years. On abandoned back roads with long lines of visibility beyond the racing area, with no cross streets in the racing area, and usually with spotters 1/2 mile up and down the road to warn of incoming traffic. Sometimes i will race from a roll but ONLY IF there arent any cars in front of me

That whole crushing idea is definately F*cked up. More people die per year in DRUNK DRIVING RELATED ACCIDENTS than street racing related accidents heres some stats for ya--


Traffic fatalities in alcohol-related crashes fell by 2.4 percent, from 17,105 in 2003
to 16,694 in 2004. The 16,694 alcohol-related fatalities in 2004 (39% of total traffic
fatalities for the year) represent a 4-percent reduction from the 17,308 alcohol-related
fatalities reported in 1994 (43% of the total).
The 16,694 fatalities in alcohol-related crashes during 2004 represent an average
of one alcohol-related fatality every 31 minutes.
