Default I'm tellin ya . . . open up the frickin tracks again . . . people are gonna race

at least give them a regulated, safe place to do it.

We tried to reopen the old strip in Half Moon Bay a few years ago, but the wackos in that community complained about the noise level. Funny thing is, that now that the Ritz Carlton opened a hotel there, the corporate jets that fly into the HMB airport make significantly more noise than the racers would, and they'd only be there one day a week at the most.

Default Increase the speed limit.... its funny how in Germany with its unlimited

autobahns.... street racing isnt very popular... you can go 300 kms plus on the highway... but not very common to see heavy speeding in town...
