Street Racing Crash Backlash

[Moanie]

oh dear! guess thats what happens when you're hyper from watching or participating in legal drags!!! sux that they have chosen to target it now with everything thats happening... least they are only targeting speeding and not defecting people... that would hurt knowing that you've been targeted by an undercover for doing awesome times... then get out and have a hwp defect you for all your illegal bits...

[TTT]

They should have been at WSID in uniform.

that way, people there will see them and not do anything stupid afterwards.

but they decided to be sneaky instead.

oh well.

sucks to be a sydneysider!! hahahaha

Gunfire in Sydney's east

Funny how they say

The area is known to be a popular spot with "car enthusiasts", a police spokeswoman said.

Yea right "car enthusiasts"

[Beer Baron]

well I was looking at the chart of cars confiscated over NSW and I can be pleased to say not a single car confiscated in the area in which I live.

The police and government in this country are hell bent on crackpot laws that fark with peoples lifestyles. I'm over being angry I just pretend it's not happening....

[mid life crisis]

actually people do get hyped up after advents ive been to the drifts a few times and seen spectators leave the place like there driving on the track. ive also raced competivly for 20 yrs at speedway and seen the same thing with people leaving the car park like there driving a sprintcar .

plenty of times at murry bridge the coppers put a bretho on the road out of the speedway sometimes the fans are there own worst enemy and think when they get done the worlds agianst them

think it was in SMH (either that or daily telegraph) it had a big map of NSW, with the number of cars in each local government area that have been confiscated. from memory bankstown was highest or second with 12 cars, quite a few in liverpool area and blacktown area too. none in my area

woo im quick off the marktonight, took these screen shots from NBN 6pm news (6th august), talking about crushing cars

I'm on the fence on this 1.

It's a fact of life these days to expect police to be in these type of area's picking up speeding drivers. I'd rather the cops spend an hour waiting outside an event like this than spending an entire weekend out cruising the hwy's picking them off 1 at a time. It's a much smarter way of doing business from the police point of view. If the police were to start defecting then I would be pissed.

Anybody that enters/exits the WSID/EC venues driving over the speed limit deserves to get a ticket, the police have been doing it since the day WSID opened and will do it until the day it closes. The 2 roads are the perfect area to go a casual 10 or 20 over the speed limit (60km/h) which can easily be done without even deliberately meaning it. I do the drive atleast once a week and atleast once a week I get some idiot flashing me from behind or overtaking me because they can't handle sitting on 60km/h behind me.

The problem is that not all attendee's of WSID are into cars like users of this forum are. Their are the people that are into it seriously and compete, their are spectators that are enthusiasts that either compete casually or would like to compete, their are regular joe's that enjoy watching the sport but have no other interests (and drive camry's) and then their are the "hoons" which have enough money to spectate but not enough money (or brains) to compete or simply don't think it is cool enough doing it legally on the strip. I'd throw a $50 on it that these were the majority of drivers that were booked outside the venue.

It is quite annoying that the media decide to show footage of the legal drag racing and tie it in with illegal street racing and/or speeding drivers. The general public are left with images of young people doing burnouts and speeding cars in their head when in actual fact it was all perfectly legal.

What annoys me most is that on sunday I drove 400km/h to Newcastle and back and didn't see 1 single cop car, not 1 single hwy patrol on the m4, m2 or f3.

[Brocaine]

You drove at 400km/h?!?!?!?!?!

What the hell were you in????

Bottom line is - cheif of police sai he doesn't understand what it will take to get through to hoons.

Well, what he should do is find someone who does rather than just doing stuff that's just going to alienate the police further.

A mate brought up an interesting comment on another forum, regarding the crushing cars thing. Lets say you're given it a bit of a hit and you see the party lights come on. You know that you'll probably get tagged for street racing, and your pride and joy is on the way to the crusher.

So, do they stop and wait for the cop, or do they try and outrun them? They've generally got no air support, so its not like they need to try losing a helicopter. If the cops catch them, the car is gone either way.

What do you think these idiots, who are more than happy to street race in built up areas, are going to do?
