Government should not be allowed to seize these cars nor destroy them...Fine them and suspend their driving priviledges!
I believe it is cruel and unusual punishment ...violating our rights as citizens of this country!

We already have our government sticking their noses where it doesn't belong causing too many problems all over the world!

That article was a bit unclear to me. I couldn't determine if they were actually caught street racing, or if they were caught with stolen parts in their cars. It seemed like every one they talked with was stopped and there was some question regarding stolen motors, parts, etc.

its worth the risk if your gonna lose your car

maybe it depends wat type of datto u have

Well thats one way of stopping them!

They only problem with writing off your car, is if you 'write' yourself off in the process.....

it's always seemed to me with the street racers that they didn't want to to go to the tracks because they had to conform to rules, like you couldn't do doughnuts in the braking area after a run, or the car actually had to be safe to race.
the first example is from Castlereagh back in the early eighties, when i helped a friend run a modified. the Falcon decide to celebrate his win by some doughnuts.As he was thrown out of the event i doubt he ever went back to the track, just kept street racing. The other time was when i was in the staging lanes at Eastern Creek & 2 of the security guards fronted a guy near me, who had been banned from the track for doing burnouts out the front gate. I doubt he was going to do his racing on the track either.

hahaha yeah tyrie. thats me all over

Reminds me of a funny story I used to race a R32 Skyline (although that's not the funny part) and this guy I knew raced his VN Commodore - he thought he was pretty top #### had spend a bunch on suspension, brakes etc....

Turned up to my first time ever round Sandown and him and about 7 of his mates were just giving me piles of #### (and had done for weeks leading up to the event).

In the 3rd session I put out a faster time than him, and every lap from then on was about 0,2 sec faster than the last....he ended up going off at the end of the main straight, then again at the bottom of the hill of the back.

His mates were pretty quiet after that....but I remember being fairly vocal.

He was a self proclaimed top street racer...
