So I have to do this pretty dumb research paper required by the school board for all Juniors and I chose mine on street racing..kinda wanted to cheat its supose to be on a topic you don't know about so I thought this would be easy.. yeah we have to site where we got our info from so im on my final part and i need a website that helped me find out why street racing is dangerous.. nothin online helps ive searched google for ever so.... could some of you just talk about past experiances or related stories that have happend near you about racing accidents.. along with your city, and state thanks Ted

 

Well i don't have a story for you because I don't street race, but I would suggest going to www.streetracing.org and searching their forums if you haven't already.

 

check www.latimes.com

there was an article a while back about street racing and how dangerous it is and how many deaths a year and all kinds of other stuff...im pretty sure if you search there..you can probably dig up the article

hope that helps

 

there's a website that has a lot of crashed cars. it might have been posted here. though i don't think they were the results of street racing ... just being dumbasses

 

Talk about how it was popular when street racing was first popular, like in the 50's or something. When greasers would race for pinks or just for the hell of it. And then close it all up with a brief discussion on The Fast and the Furious. Monkey see, monkey do right there. In addition, you should talk about how it effects our society and how many accidents increased after the release of that wonderful movie. I'm not bashing on the movie or anything.... well, i am sorta. NOS NOS NOS NOS NOS!!!! NOOOOSSSSS!!!!

want more info? just keep bumping this thread n i'll help ya out. i'm not much of n e-mail person. GL

Street racing goes all the way back to when the second car was produced....

why street racing is dangerous ayy.... I say rent/buy 10 street race videos. Record how many times you see a crash in each video and how bad it was. Create a Matrix with the seriousness of the crash on one axis and how often it's likely to occur. It's almost a guarranty that every one of those movies has a crash in it. If it doesn't you didn't buy a street race vid. you bought a show documentary.

 

I did the exact same thing in hs as my senior research paper. I did a lot of research and my teacher complimented me on how well written it was and the info it had. She especially like how I wrote about both views on racing. The racer and normal people's views on racing. E-mail me at teamcircuitracers@yahoo.com if u hav ne questions. Ill be glad to help u out
