form sydney just wanted to say, whoa!

[ZOR]

interesting read.

dick johnson's got the idea - good to see him get into the whole lakeside and hooning.

But he said more facilities should made available for car-loving teens to stop them from racing on city streets.

RACQ spokesman Gary Fites said it had to be acknowledged that young people "like cars . . . it's a cultural phenomena".

"It's important to note that people who like fast flashy cars, shouldn't necessarily be targeted because they like fast flashy cars," he said.

but wtf?!

Building tracks for amateur enthusiasts would not solve the problem because a "fair percentage" of illegal racers were anti-social.

no news here..

illegal and organisde street racing, etc goes on in every state, and has done for decades. Its just a bit easier to organise these days with technology.

It takes place in melbourne, sydney, and S.E. QLD.. no big deal, it just seems all of a sudden the media has worked it out after all this time.

[chaos]

The Sunday Mail yesturday was an interesting read...bit stupid the guys who talked to the reporters about how fast they have been in their cars etc.

[Ska]

organised hoons?

BAHhbaHBaH AhaH AHh aH HAhAHHAHHA HHA Hh HAHh AHHAh HaH HA HAH HA HAH hHAH HAHAH h AH haHhahAHhhahhahhHAhaaaa!!

[AzzurrA]

That story is from Brisbane, not Sydney...

was on the front page of yesterdays Sunday Mail....

goddamn they make up and sensationalise alot of crap in the papers!

but i'm sure they refer to it as 'stretching the truth' or something

[LBR33]

The media also likes to "fill the blanks" with fake stats too

[Ska]

Racing in redcliffe isnt a new thing, I remember back in 1989 going to Anzac ave sat nights to watch them race up and down it until the cops came, lucky we used to park a couple of blocks away at a mates and tell the cops we were just walking home from the beach and didnt know what was going on.....

Musta been a slow news Sunday!

[AzzurrA]

yeah, its no big news that people race in morayfield and redcliffe, but some of the information and 'facts' that the 'reporter' (i prefer to think of them as storytellers...) of this story has come up with are utter crap... grrrr... makes my blood boil.

in the story, they made reference to cars 'lapping' in morayfield as if it was the end of the world or something?!?!?! No mention of anything illegal or anything, just driving around....!!?!?!?!?!?!

I mean, ffs!!!!

[85URK]

meh, they run a story like this every year or so to keep the people aware that cops are still trying to stop hoons. that is all it is, to stir up a bit of a crack down, then it all dies down again. it's ahppened before it'll happen again. that young guy mite not have said any of thise sthings, the paper mite have made them all up for all we know, but if he did, hes a tool. sif u will get away, your not in the melenium falcon any more toto!

3 decades that I know of and more before that

Its like that episode of the Simpsoms when they ban beer.

In the end they will have to accept it and work with it.

It'll be always there!

I went out sunday night and there was probably twice as many people out, and less cops lol.

[Col-GTSX]

Nothing new in that story....

I mean Cyrus is right i remember going to Anzac Ave back in the early 90's like 12 years ago...

Also the top speed 220kph was not up anzac ave... They just made it sound that way...

What an idiot talking to the reporters and letting them take a photo of him.; (I know who it is) and as if people wont not know who it was.

I dont encourage racing..... I just like watching...
