17 y/o, what a freaking shame. My son John was telling me he went over to Circuit City last week, where some New Era guys were, among others, running in a street race until everyone was told to leave - quick. He had heard 2 racers got in an accident when a 3rd driver from a side street ran a redlight, and ran into them. It sounds like the same incident. |
It's been tried, and they look at you with a hazy eyed, open mouthed, deer in headlights stare... "you mean, race LEGALLY? Why?"
I've gotten nothing but negativity from those guys, no matter how you try to approach them. Then it turns ugly quickly, as I don't take well to insults, and I can be a bit of an asshole...
